State Of Independence was a song written by
Jon And Vangelis and popularized by
Donna Summer. The new age version by Jon And Vangelis was quickly followed by the Donna Summer version, which received moderate airplay. Donna Summer was joined on the record by a cast of all stars like
Michael Jackson,
Lionel Richie, and
Stevie Wonder, foreshadowing the
1985 number one collaboration We Are The World by
USA For Africa.
In 1992, Moodswings made Spiritual High (State Of Independence), reworking the song and featuring singer Chrissy Hynde of
The Pretenders. Some pressings showed
Moodswings Featuring The Voice Of Chrissy Hynde.
