In 1991 there was a whole heap of dance, trance, house, garage (uplifting vocal house at this point in time), rave not to mention the new style soon to arrive 'bass, breaks & bleeps' On the other side of the fence hip hop, trip hop, rap & acid jazz.... Hmmm?
From this Acid Jazz genre came Talkin' Loud Records who had the foresight to release this beautiful song with a jazzy lilt. Tammy Payne is a name I'm familiar with but I know very little about her. Take Me Now, written by Tammy & produced by Billy Osbourne*, came from nowhere and after another release, Do You Feel It (Like I Do), that had little impact she disappeared again. I believe she featured on some of Smith & Mighty's songs before hooking up with Jim Barr for some obscure releases on Cup Of Tea and Twisted Nerve Records.
*Billy Osbourne is the brother of Jeffrey Osbourne, and an original member of L.T.D.
Thanks Mr V. ;-)

One of my soul faves from that year. Acid Jazz was such a cool label when it started!
ReplyDeletebtw, MikeyP. I've been looking for Hold On by Eric & The Good Good Feeling but to no avail. I had that on vinyl back then.
Any chance it's in your collection?
Cheers!
Sorry BritSoul but I don't have that unless its on one of my compilations?
ReplyDeleteI keep my eye out for it. ;-)
