LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-APRIL 7, 2020…’WHITESNAKE’ IS THE SELF TITLED ALBUM RELEASED ON APRIL 7 1987. IT WAS WHITESNAKE’S 7TH STUDIO ALBUM AND WAS GARGANTUAN FOR THE BAND. IT SOLD OVER 8 MILLION COPIES IN THE U.S. ALONE, AND REACHED #2 ON THE ALBUM CHARTS FOR 1987. THE ALBUM WAS POWERED BY 2 HUGE SINGLES ‘IS THIS LOVE’ AND ‘HERE I GO AGAIN’. ‘HERE I GO AGAIN’ WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED ON A PREVIOUS ALBUM, BUT DAVID COVERDALE RE-RECORDED IT AND RE-MIXED THE SONG FOR THIS RECORD AND IT THAT BECAME A MONSTER HIT. THE SONG ACTUALLY DOCUMENTS THE BREAKDOWN OF HIS FIRST MARRIAGE. I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO GET OVER HIS FIRST MARRIAGE THAN MARRY THE MODEL THAT WAS WRITHING ALL OVER THE JAGUAR CARS IN THE VIDEO FOR THIS SONG. HE MARRIED TAWNY KITAEN IN 1989 (THEY WERE DIVORCED 2 YEARS LATER). BUT THE VIDEO WAS GREAT ! **SIDE NOTE TAWNY KITAEN THEN WENT ON TO MARRY MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHER CHUCK FINLEY AND ATTACKED HER HUSBAND WITH HER HIGH-HEALED SHOE AS THEY WERE DRIVING HOME FROM DINNER. SHE WAS CHARGED WITH SPOUSAL ABUSE AND BATTERY. NO WORD IF THE CAR SHE WAS IN WAS A JAGUAR LIKE THE ONES IN THE VIDEO. HERE’S WHITESNAKE WITH TAWNY KITAEN AND THE VIDEO THAT TOOK OVER MTV
