Wikipedia
"Your Woman" is a song by British music producer White Town. It was released in January 1997 by Chrysalis, Brilliant! and EMI Records as the lead single from his second album, Women in Technology (1997). It features a muted trumpet line taken from a 1932 recording of "My Woman" by Lew Stone and his Monseigneur Band. The song peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and also topped the charts of Iceland, Israel and Spain. It peaked within the top 10 of the charts in 12 other countries and reached No. 23 in the United States. The song's music video was filmed in black and white silent film style.
With male vocals sung from a female perspective, "Your Woman" became the first gender-reversal song to top the UK chart. In the booklet of their 1999 album 69 Love Songs, The Magnetic Fields' frontman Stephin Merritt described "Your Woman" as one of his "favourite pop songs of the last few years." In 2010, the song was named the 158th best track of the 1990s by Pitchfork.
