Carleen Anderson
R&B singer Carleen Anderson was introduced to music at an early age, as both her mother (Vicki Anderson) and stepfather (pianist Bobby Byrd) toured throughout the '60s and '70s with the great James Brown.
Moloko
The Sheffield-based dance-pop duo Moloko is the end result of Irish-born singer Roisin Murphy's attempt to pick up mixer/producer Mark Brydon at a 1994 party with the come-on, "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body."
Lakeside
In 1980 Lakeside went storming up the charts again with their smash number one single, Fantastic Voyage, which was produced by the self-contained band. The group later continued their success with the Billboard Top Ten singles Raid, Outrageous, and a string of R&B party songs and ballads.
