Speaker 4 (01:04):
Welcome to the Jimmy Star Show with Ron Russell. Hey Ron,
can you get rid of the dark Frights thing? Please? Thanks.
We want to welcome everybody. We got a great show
for you guys today. It's going to be a lot
of fun. Before we get started with anything else, we
need to first give a shout out to our one
and only man, mister Ron Russell. Today is his eighty
fifth birthday, So happy birthday it is. That's why I

(01:26):
said it was. Now this is a birthday you guys.
So he's eighty five and we got a great show
for you guys. We're doing a show called Back to
the Nineties. Before we get started, I have to find
the link to send out to everybody. So while i'm
doing that, le Ron's going to say Hi.

Speaker 6 (01:41):
Hi, if you're curious to know about the shirt I'm wearing. Okay,
this shirt is your big star shirt. He made this
shirt about thirty years ago. I found it in the
warehouse about fifteen years ago, and I fell in love
with it because it looks like happy Birthday with the
cherry hake and the candles and all the jazz. So

(02:02):
I have worn this shirt for the last fourteen years
on my birthday on our show. You know, almost a
sentimental old jerk, absolutely, But you know, being eighty five,
I tell you not so good. You know, you know
there's very little left ahead of you, and it makes

(02:22):
you said so. It makes you also want to know
that you have to have quality time. You have to
spend quality time with quality people. Trivia, nonsense, garbage, stupid talk,
wasteful talk, or angry talk. Gossip doesn't work anymore. That's
good when you're young. When you're eighty five years old,

(02:44):
you want to say what's real, what matters, and what
makes people love you.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
More right, James, Absolutely, I got the link, so you
just put it out talk for two more minutes. Let
me just put us out for everybody to find it.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Like, we have a very special friend today. He's a sweetheart.
I tease him all the time about being in love
with him and wanting to have sex with him, and
he just lamps his head off. He's crazy guy. So
you'll hear more of that silly show.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
He's been coming on quick too. He's coming on in
just a couple of five minutes. Is coming on in
five minutes, So you guys, we have a great show
back to the nineties today. We have some great guests.
We have all these fantastic people from the nineties. They're
still fantastic now, but they all have huge dance hits.
So it's going to be a dance hit show put
together by Mark love Rush, who's a very dear friend

(03:36):
of ours that we love to death. We have Rosala
coming on you guys. Shaney from alex Parties coming on,
Vicky Waters from Capella is coming on, and Collette van Certimo,
which I don't know if that's the right spelling for her,
I mean this right pronunciation for her last name. But
we'll find out when she comes on. It's going to
be very exciting, all big stars, and I think it's

(03:57):
going to be a lot of fun.

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Right And if I don't have my energy level that
I normally have, here's why I've had knee replacement. And
if they say it's okay, you get over it right away.
There for the crap. It's the most painful thing I've
ever done in my life. And when does the pain stop?
Is what everybody that has this operation ask. For reasons

(04:22):
of my age, I couldn't take narcotic painkillers because they
have made me hallucinate. Imagine hallucination. So I had to
do it dry without and I just couldn't take it anymore.
And I said to Jimmy, you know what, give me
a pill and I'll hallucinate. I don't care. Well I

(04:43):
did hallucinate. I called Sophia Lauran, Sophia Lauren. I don't
have Sophia Laurn's number. I've speed dialed her with the
hell Is speed dial. Anyway, she looked about seventy five
and was beautiful and we have the greatest chat. We
talked about Spaghettian and the movie that we made, and

(05:03):
blah blah blah blah blah. We had the best time
in the world. And she said, please call me again,
and I said, I will, Sophia. Now I never called
Sophia Lauren. It was a hallucination. That's what happens when
you take a morphine and and you're my age. The

(05:26):
brain can't tolerate the high. So I was loaded all
the time and unable to speak to anyone. All phone
calls were held back. I couldn't take one phone call,
and of course my friends were worried, but not to worry.
They were told it was just because of the high.

(05:48):
Now I knew I was going to do this show,
and it is my birthday, and my daughter Deirdre flew
in from Pennsylvania to be with me, and I didn't
want to be out of it. Stoned up the pill
two days ago. I'm in great pain, but I'm semi
semi soba.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Now we're good. You're good.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Why people did drugs years ago to get high this way,
I will never know. I never liked the feeling of high.
I still don't like it. I prefer to be crisp,
clear and with it. So if I'm a little dinghy
or a little something. I don't think that I've been

(06:30):
drinking or something stupid. It's the medication I'm on. I
guess you call it cold turkey. Yeah, I'm on cleaning.
I'm cleaning out.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
As I said, I I'm chatting too. I just put
the link to put in to watch. Hopefully it works.
Let's see the link for people who want to watch
the show. I put it on all my social media is.
I mean, I think it's going to be a very
fun show, you guys, But Paul get started with all
of that. Let's do a thing thank you to everybody.

(07:04):
So we want to thank everybody for tuning in. Every week.
You can hear the show on our new podcast platform,
we switched is now called a cast acast, so it's

another one hundred and fifty or one hundred and sixty
other ones. But those are the ones that everybody kind
of knows. So we say that with everybody there and
all great shirt. Yes, it's a great shirt.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
I love this shirt. How much was his shirt selling
for back then?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Probably one hundred fifty bucks? How much one hundred and
fifty probably.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Back in those days, one hundred and fifty Yeah, good, nerve.
I sold a lot of money here we're robbing people. No,
I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
It's one of a kind. You know, you have to
pay a lady eight dollars an hour to sit there
and make it, make it. I didn't pay people like
shitty wages, which eight dollars an hour twenty years ago
was a lot of money. You know, now it would
be terrible, But back then it was good. And it's handmade,
and it's one of a kind. Yes it is, so
it has a sieved. Nowadays it will probably be fifteen

(08:18):
hundred go away. Everything's so expensive. I was just looking
at T shirts from from John Barbados on eBay and
like they're like two hundred bucks.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
If people are stupid enough to when somebody's going and
to advertise their label at that great cost, you know,
I forget it. I don't wear labels. I'm wearing your
label only because you made it. And I loved his shirt,
and I've won it every year for my birthday, so
it has me.

You got a sparkle.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Looking thing that was freaking fabulous. So I like love it,
so everybody. So now the single is available right right now,
everybody can go get it or no, oh oh, it's
not even out yet, you guys, there you go.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
I like love it actually, if you know, club music
has not changed, but the dancing has. And I don't
care for the dancing because no one's dancing. They're just
on job. And you know, so I could go on
the dance floor now and I could dance again.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
But these are all the two nineties legends, so we
know how to make it.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
I used to go to a studio fifty four and
to the subway and all the great clubs in New
York in the day, and it was freestyle, but we
had style. It wasn't like we had a nervous breakdown.

Speaker 11 (28:47):
You know.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah, we have to add some new people.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Fat Liza Minelli, that creep. We could dance group.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
You guys. We added some new people. Gee, I can't go.

Speaker 19 (29:04):
Up.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
A bunch of people came in anyway. They are saying
that they love it and all this is good. So
so let's go from there. Let's go to Collette. Let's
talk to Colette a little bit. All right. So I
read in a bio that was provided to me by
Mark that you started out like you were playing Cinderella
as a little kid. Did you know you wanted to
be a singer and a performer as a little kid
or was it a fluke?

Speaker 6 (29:27):
Well, Mark started offer collect.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
Well, yeah, it's kind of weird.

Speaker 14 (29:36):
Actually I always.

Speaker 10 (29:39):
Felt that I was. I was a closet singer.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
So when all my family were out of the house,
I would glamor up and put my little record player
on and I would harmonize to Ella Fitzgerald, Luther Vandros Whitney, Houston,
all the greats.

Speaker 10 (29:54):
And I swear I began and I loved it. I
just had this feeling.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
And I love Shirley Bessie, So I used to dress up.
My mum looks like Shirley Bassey. So I used to
dress up in her clothes and that she would never know,
put her heels on, and then basically sing around the house,
you know, and just pretend you know every big spender
and hope they didn't come home and catch me. But

(30:19):
I was actually quite a shy kid. But yes, I
started as a Cinderella and it was the first performance
I ever did in the sixth.

Speaker 10 (30:26):
Form in my school.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
They didn't know in my school that I could sing
or anything, but I always had the aspiration and feeling
to do it, but I never got picked for anything,
kept in the closet. And then my ire teacher basically
one day randomly said, collect no, sorry, I've written a play,

(30:49):
a pantomime and we need to choose a Cinderella and
a star Trek. Now I never got chosen for anything,
as I said, nearly eighteen years I'm nearly sixteen years old,
and I'm like, no, i am sixteen years old.

Speaker 10 (31:00):
Sorry, I'm in the seat form. And I'm like why
would they ever?

Speaker 8 (31:03):
You know, it's a bit weird anyway, And it was
so random that he decided to call my name. So
it began when I had to be Cinderella in a
pantomime and I had to sing a solo track because
he sort of said, oh, yeah, you've got to sing
as well.

Speaker 10 (31:20):
I was like, what what are you talking about?

Speaker 25 (31:22):
How do you know?

Speaker 10 (31:22):
I sing I've never sung before. How do you know?
And I don't know how we go?

Speaker 4 (31:27):
How did it go? When you did it? When you're sang?
Was everybody like surprise, jaw dropping in my gosh.

Speaker 8 (31:33):
I was so nervous, my toplet was going, and I
was dressed. I was dressed like Chuck A. Khan and
I sung the only one by Lionel Richie and there
I stood in the middle of the stage and you
can imagine in front of kids.

Speaker 10 (31:52):
Oh my god, it was like a nightmare feeling.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
But I got a.

Speaker 10 (31:56):
Standing ovation and they screamed the place down.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
Damn though now.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
I can I don't know, you know. So that was
the beginning.

Speaker 6 (32:06):
When Mark was little, there was a wishing well in
the park where he lived, and he used to go
over to the wishing weller and singing it I'm wishing
for the one I love, and the voice back would say,
I'll be there. I'm counting a few more of these things.
I have to stick up.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
If they from the beginning to get that's twenty shit,
all right, So Collette, you had you have four UK
top forty hits in a row. Hauled that sucker down
was number twenty four, featured on Queerest Folk, which there's
a British version, there's a multi version. We allow to
sing on the American version. Then you can't get a man,
can't get a job. Life's the Bitch international gay anthem

(32:52):
of the nineties hit number thirty one. And besides all
of that, you wrote a track Ron's Gonna Love This.
You wrote a track for Tina Turner called open Arms
and it was on the All the Best the Hits album.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Yeah, that was.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Did you just send it to her? Did you get
to meet her?

Speaker 8 (33:09):
Unfortunately I didn't get to meet her. The track was
actually for an album i'd written because I'd initially got
an album deal with BMG Records, and unfortunately I didn't
get to release my album. But he and I i'd
co written it with a couple of other guys, Ben
Barston and Martin Brammer, and basically it was supposed to

(33:33):
initially be for my album, but when I wrote it
with the guys, I was like, do you know what,
this could be a Tina Turner song. Quite easily and weirdly,
as the time went on, I'd lost my record deal.
I didn't get to release my album unfortunately, but they
asked randomly one day if they could use or put

(33:53):
my song forward for Tina to sing, and it got chosen. Apparently,
our four songs her to launch her best the Tina albums,
So yeah and deal, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (34:07):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
I mean, I understand.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
She's very easy to meet. She's a phony snob. She's
very very down to earth. You know, she's a regular person.
So I can't wait to meet her.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
She comes, she's dead, didn't What are you thinking of?

Speaker 6 (34:29):
Elephant? The drugs start me? No? Really, for my knee,
I have to.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Think Tina Turner. You know what's love to do with that?

Speaker 6 (34:41):
I love Tina, Oh please, I love Tina. We're talking
about Patty LaBelle. She's easy.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
We're going to get her.

Speaker 7 (34:50):

Speaker 6 (34:51):
Bell is a sweet I've come from something this close
to meeting her coming to my house for dinner, because

maybe I could come to your house and bring Patty.

(35:33):
Would that be okay? She said? Would that be okay?
I said, what are you your mind?

Speaker 10 (35:42):

Speaker 4 (40:48):
I love it version. You need to be doing all
that stuff. All right, We're gonna move over to Alex
Party Shaney. So, Shanny, are you actually Italian? Are you
in Italy?

Speaker 14 (40:58):
Definitely not with this accent South London girl, Okay, I.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Was I think when I when I googled, I googled
Alex Party and it said it started out as an
Italian dance group. I think it said and so I
just thought maybe you spoke Italian.

Speaker 14 (41:13):
No, So Alex party was already established, I think like
a year before I came onto the scene. They had
that was their first song that had was read my Lips,
which is an instrumental, just had a little sample going
through it.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (41:28):
Yeah, And so the guys Johnny Johnny and Palos Nadi
Italian and Alex Natti Italian and I'm the only person
that's it's.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Not okay, okay? Where now do you guys live near
each other in England or you guys all like near
each other or no, no, not at all. So you
only see each other basically, like either if you talk
on the phone or when you go to perform at
all the different places. Yeah, are you all performing now?
Pretty much? I know rosala Is and I know Vicky

(41:58):
is Colin have you been performing still? Are you getting
ready to go performing? Arnie enough?

Speaker 8 (42:03):
I've just started to come back into the picture of things.
And just recently I performed at the kit Cat Club
in Berlin. Oh wow, which was really cool. That was
a really really good gig.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah, that's a very famous one. So Alex part of
you guys, they had a big hit Don't Give Me
Your Life and went to number two in the UK.
It was number five on the US Dance Charts, which
is huge nineteen ninety five Club Record of the Year.
They also had another single, Wrapped Me Up, which was
number seventeen in the UK, and they did a remake

(42:38):
of I Love Music?

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Right?

Speaker 11 (42:39):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (42:39):
That was you guys right?

Speaker 10 (42:41):
No music theme?

Speaker 4 (42:44):
That was Rozilla. It was a Rosola did I Love Music?
I wrote it in the wrong place. I'm an idiot.

Speaker 28 (42:51):
So we'll go back.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
We'll go back to Razola as she's next. So now,
did you know you wanted to be a singer when
you were young?

Speaker 14 (42:59):
No, I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
I think I went I think I went to go
into the army and I want to be a nurse.
You watch, you watch all these program on TV. But
I think when I started to think about singing, I
was in my secondary school and they said to me,
what do I want to do? And I think at
that time I couldn't really do that much. I've got
dyslexi and dyspraxia, so I found it really difficult and

(43:21):
challenging to kind of learn English maths and things.

Speaker 11 (43:24):
Like that.

Speaker 14 (43:24):
So I'd be sitting in the classroom just doodling and
you know, just messing about. And it's not until I
went to a club like a youth center after school. Yeah,
and then I started to learn. Well, I decided I
wanted to learn to learn to sing. And a singing
teacher I don't know if you know it, but you

(43:45):
us guys will know her and Sharon D. Clark she
was doing like the singing lesson. So I went there
and I was really interested in it, and then yeah,
it just started from there really, but yeah, I think
it was at that time it was the only thing
that I thought I could do.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
So, but you didn't start right off going into Alex Party,
right or did you?

Speaker 7 (44:04):
Maybe you did?

Speaker 4 (44:04):
Did you do another band or you tried to do
solo music or how did you actually become a part
of Alex Party? So it's really weird.

Speaker 14 (44:11):
So there was an advert that was going out in
a local paper and they was looking for a singer,
amateur singer. So I applied for it and I got
the part of whatever it Is and it led to
me doing a single called this is It?

Speaker 10 (44:26):
It was a cover.

Speaker 14 (44:29):
And then from there I started to do tour dates
and things. I was thinking, oh, yeah, I could kind
of do this. Then I ended up being approached by
Fifth Avenue management team. Yeah, they was doing quite a
lot of dance music around that time. So I signed
up with them, and that's where I met my manager
and then we just I just started to do a

(44:50):
lot of backing vocals. So I was doing backing vocals
for like Womack and Womack that done some stuff, Marshall
Jefferson being a Carol quite a few, quite a few. Yeah,
So I was I started to get really good at
backing singing, and I was thinking, you know, actually I
don't want to be out in one. I don't want
people to be seeing me, so maybe it's the best

(45:11):
place to be. So then what happened was my manager
was in MCA Music because she was one of the
A and R persons, and she said, oh, I've got
this back in track. You know you need to start
with your writing and that. So she gave this back
in track, which was that don't give Me your life
back in track. Now, the back in track does not

(45:33):
sound anything like what it sounds like now. It was
like it sounded like there was about three instruments that
was in the back in track, and maybe it sounded
like banging on baked bean ting cans and things like that.
So I wrote this song Don't Give Me Your Life,
which actually took me about ten to fifteen minutes to

(45:53):
write the whole melody, because I come up with a
melody first of all, and then I write the words.
Absolutely hated the soul.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
I have to tell you, and it's a big it.

Speaker 14 (46:08):
It was like it was the worst. The melody was terrible.
I just like, the words are terrible. But I kept
trying to change it. It wouldn't. It kept coming back
to this, and my managers phone me up and she's
like shaming, So, what's happening with that backing chat? And
I'm like, oh, you don't want to hear it, mate, listen,
it's really not good. She's like, no, no, no, let
me hear it. And so I something to her down

(46:28):
the phone, like really reluctantly, and she says, oh, I
think I think she'd get into the studios. I think that.
About a week or so later, I went in to
do like a rough and she come downstairs and she's like, oh,
let's listen to it. At literally I was cringing, so
I was like.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
Smiling and nodding, like they understand what you're.

Speaker 14 (46:48):
Saying anyway, So it got sent off to Italy, and
to be perfectly honest, I didn't even think I was
going to hear anything because I was just no for me.
I've thought I'd written quite a lot of songs that
were really really good and nobody didn't want to listen
to them, so why are they going to listen to
this one? But then what happened was one of the

(47:10):
A n R guys listen to the back and listen
to my song, and I was like, no, this is rubbish,
this is no good. But then there was Nardisy, Italian
producer said no, we want to listen to it, and
they heard it and they was like, oh man, this
is not Nie. So then after that I ended up
going to Italy and recording it and yeah, it was

(47:32):
just crazy.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
Wow, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
That is.

Speaker 14 (47:38):
But you know what's really crazier is that you know
when you do something and you think you know this
is the one, but you don't really know this is
the one. I don't know how Yeah, but I remember
my manager said to me, oh, Shaney, do you know
midweek is you be at number nine. I'm like, shut out,
what do you mean number nine? I said, what in

(47:58):
the proper, proper chart ones in.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Woollst real ones.

Speaker 14 (48:04):
She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess what they penciled
you in to do Top of the Pops.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
I'm like, what.

Speaker 11 (48:12):
It was?

Speaker 14 (48:13):
Just so you know, when you see all these young
singers out there and they're going on all these talent
compositions and things just go like a world where it's
like your feet don't touch the brown. That is exactly
what happened to me.

Speaker 10 (48:25):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Yeah? Yeah, right, that was like the biggest show you
could be on Top of the Pops or any of
the other ones. Anybody everybody else was on top of
the Pops? Are now okay? That's okay. So the name

(48:48):
of the song is Don't give Me Your Life, the
one let's hook up, the one that says Alex Party,
don't give Me your Life. And you introduce it for us, Shaney,
and then we're going to play it for everybody to hear.

Speaker 14 (48:58):
So this is Alex This I can't even do it.
This is don't give Me Your Life from Alex Party.

Speaker 5 (49:12):
You're true dead bad. Now what can I say?

Speaker 14 (49:20):
You're told me at me, but it never made that way.

Speaker 3 (49:27):

And the comments tab is all the people on the
on the actual chat list, I mean that are actually
in the chat room. That way, they can see it.
Because right now you just sent those texts, those chats
to me. So if you look at the top and

before we move on to Rosala, like who who was
somebody that you guys like kind of admired when you
were younger, Who was like a singer that made you

I really enjoyed the way that she sang. And as
a classical singer as well, it was just something different

lovely he is a lovely man. Yeah, And he's never

(56:16):
had a great love in his life. And I feel
mad because music was his life and he never had
anyone to come home to say I love you, I
said to him. But Johnny, you had millions of people
that when you went on stage, they said I love you. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
So we listened to Johnny Math, especially at Christmas time,
because he's got We've.

Speaker 6 (56:40):
Had a voice from heaven. No one didn't sing like him.
Did you know he's staying over three He sold over
three hundred and fifty songs, million records, million records. I'm
on that medication, so my name because of my I
couldn't be here without a little something an hour.

Speaker 4 (57:00):
To go to Rosala. And here's how we're going to
introduce Rosola, you guys, because I read online. Rosala is
the ninety eighth most successful dance artist of all time,
which is a big big to do. So everybody knows
her song. Everybody's Free to Feel Good. It was, you know,
such a huge hit all over the world. She toured

(57:21):
with Michael Jackson, she opened for Billy Ocean. She does ballads.
She has a ballad love Breakdown, that was a big song.
That was a big you know song that I liked
a lot. And she has a new album that came
out last year called Turn on the Light that we'll
talk about in a minute, but everybody needs to get it.
It's got dance hits and it's got pop music, it's
got everything. And she sounds just as good as she
sounded in the nineties. She's fabulous. And hello and welcome

(57:44):
to the show. We're happy to have you. And who
is your influence? Who is your influence?

Speaker 20 (57:49):
I love listening to Rutha Franklin when I was growing up.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
Aretha Franklin Franklin, Yeah, yeah, Now did you know that?

Speaker 6 (57:59):
She?

Speaker 10 (57:59):
So?

Speaker 4 (57:59):
I think I forgot where you're from, Tunisia or someplace.
So I forgot what I read where were you?

Speaker 14 (58:05):
I was born in Zambia, Zambia, okay, Zambia, and grew up.

Speaker 16 (58:09):
In Zimbabwe, and I've been living in the UK for
well over I started traveling to the UK late nineteen
eighty eight, so I started living here in nineteen ninety
and then nineteen ninety one I had.

Speaker 20 (58:21):
The big hit with Everybody's Really feel good.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
How cool is that? So you were singing though in Zimbabwe, right,
because I think I read like you kind of went
there and then you went someplace else, like so you
kind of started younger and you actually hit it pretty fast. Yeah.

Speaker 20 (58:35):
Well, people say I hit it quite fast.

Speaker 16 (58:38):
I didn't really because when I look back at my career,
I started my apprenticeship if you wish, in Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Speaker 20 (58:45):
You know, in Zambia, I was, you know, doing children's television.

Speaker 16 (58:49):
Programs, and then when we moved to Zimbabwe, there was
a friend of mine that formed a band and we
called the band GRAB, which was the letters of our
first names, which was Gabby, Rosala, Andy and Boiki.

Speaker 20 (59:04):
And we went around Zimbabwe, you know, covering songs that
have been played on the stations.

Speaker 16 (59:10):
And Zimbabwe and Zambi are very the radio stations are
very influenced by music from overseas Western music, so we
played a lot of that as well as doing some
African style songs as well, which the people wanted to hear.
So we catered to all that. And you know, I'm
going around the country and I'm doing this and I'm

(59:30):
loving it.

Speaker 20 (59:30):
And then there was a point.

Speaker 16 (59:31):
Where I thought, I need to release my own material.
You know, I can't keep doing songs by I don't know,
you're with the Franklin for instance. And then lo and behold,
you know, I manifested something. A talent contest sort of
happened and I joined this talent contest in Zimbabwe and.

Speaker 20 (59:51):
I won all the three hits and the.

Speaker 16 (59:53):
Prize was a recording contract in Zimbabwe, and I thought, wow, okay,
great and start a record material in Zimbabwe. Releasted only
in Zimbabwe and became the starlet in Zimbabwe, and I thought, right, I've.

Speaker 20 (01:00:08):
Gone as far as I can.

Speaker 14 (01:00:10):
It's Zimbabwe.

Speaker 20 (01:00:11):
I want to be an international singer, you know.

Speaker 16 (01:00:13):
And it just so happened that then there was an
English produced on holiday in Zimbabwe and he was friends
with a friend of mine that was a big time
DJ on Radio three in Harari, and cut a long
story short, he got to meet me. He spoke to
my record label, said I owned a studio in Wolverhampton

(01:00:34):
and my record label in Zimbabwe believed in me and
they bought me my first three E tickets to travel
to the UK to come and record this album, The
Spirit of Africa, which has just been released on Spotify recently.
And you know, that album was only released in Zambia
and South Africa, and we used that album to try

(01:00:58):
and get me a record deal and sending it all around.
And I don't know why this is one record company
that springs to mind, but there's a record label that
wrote to us saying we really love it. Was Arista.
Oh I remember seeing this letter saying she's great, we
want to sign a you know, and literally within the
first that week or so, they wrote back saying, actually

(01:01:21):
we're not interested, you know.

Speaker 10 (01:01:25):
Yeah wee or within a week.

Speaker 16 (01:01:28):
It happened so quickly, and then then somebody said to me,
so you see, that's that's the entertainment industry is very fickle,
you know.

Speaker 20 (01:01:35):
So I began to learn that from way back then.

Speaker 16 (01:01:39):
But we carried on sending around cassettes and one of
those cassettes fell on the laps of Tim and Nigel,
who were known as the Band of Gypsies, and I
got to meet them and they asked me what style
of music I want to do, and I said, look,
I'm African. I want to did dance music with you know,
a hardcore baseline and a piano sounds and drums, and

(01:02:00):
you know from that album, you know, one of the
songs that we did was you know, Everybody's Free to
Feel Good?

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
I love it, so I also so you had three
three singles that did well on the first album though,
right from the Everybody's three.

Speaker 20 (01:02:15):
Yes, yes, I had three. In fact, there was four.

Speaker 16 (01:02:17):
One of the first one was called born to Love You,
and that became a commercial, underground club hit. So the
other three Everybody's Free to Feel Good, are You Ready
to Fly? And Faith in the Part of Love. Those
are by far my three biggest hits today.

Speaker 4 (01:02:34):
But Born to Love You.

Speaker 20 (01:02:35):
The fans didn't want me to break out and become
a commercial international artist.

Speaker 16 (01:02:41):
They were like, we want to keep you underground because
you hours and I'm vain, guys, I also need to
earn a living, you know.

Speaker 14 (01:02:49):
I got to get paid, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
And yeah, what we're going to do is I want
to play Everybody's Free because it's such a big hit.
I'm hoping YouTube doesn't flag us for it. We're gonna
find out, I guess in a minute. So so one
we're gonna play Rosalas Everybody's Free. I just wrote everybody
is Free on it. You guys, I didn't write to
feel good on the thing for you one Rosala. You
introduce it and then we're gonna play it for everybody

So I think I want to do something fun that
we've never done before. So all of you have all

mean on the same bill, not on the same Yeah,
except I think this would be something fun to do.
We'll start with uh, we'll start with collect So so
you have four other people that you will be working with.

(01:09:08):
If you could ask any one of them a question,
what question would you like to ask them? I'd like
to get to know them better, or something you don't
know about them, or something that you don't like them
because they did something I don't know.

Speaker 33 (01:09:24):
My god, that's on the spot. I have no idea
what to ask, that's really I just you seem very
quick on your feet, so you would be able to
do it. Everybody else has time to think about.

humbling experience and the stand outside waiting for hours and
hours and they just want to give you all these

show was really really special when it was the first
time Capilla had actually been over to Periu as well.

Lee?

Speaker 20 (01:12:47):
You know, because I was a newbie signed to Sony

Speaker 16 (01:12:56):
And Lee and myself and we just hit it the
as we do top the pops together blah blah blah.

Speaker 20 (01:13:02):
And then I don't know if you remember, I think
I don't know what newspaper was. They made out like
Lee and I were having an affair.

Speaker 5 (01:13:17):
And I just met.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
Let me catch run up. So he asked, uh. Mark
asked Rosala what it was like because because his husband's
boy band and her were popular at the same time
and they were on top of the pops together, and
the press came out saying that they were having an affair. Remarks, yes, right, okay,
go ahead, and finished Rosala.

Speaker 6 (01:13:44):
And then I think she's being saw marked.

Speaker 16 (01:13:49):
I went what And then one of my friends called
him and like, you know that woman you're dating because
we were still like new.

Speaker 20 (01:13:56):
I think, make she's having an affair behind your back.

Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
Because it's in the US though, because that was one thing.

Speaker 20 (01:14:08):
I was just looking at some of my old cuttings
and I saw it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:12):
I couldn't start.

Speaker 20 (01:14:13):
I wanted to take a picture and send it to you, Mark.
I could not stop laughing.

Speaker 4 (01:14:17):
It was so funny. I love that. Yeah, all right,
So then Rosale your turn, asked somebody something.

Speaker 20 (01:14:24):
Oh my goodness me oh Shaney, Shaney, I didn't realize
you wrote.

Speaker 10 (01:14:35):
The track.

Speaker 35 (01:14:37):
I mean, well, proud of you, proud of you? Did
you go on and do Top of the Pops? I did, Risala?
I went there three times and.

Speaker 20 (01:14:50):
And if you remember, did they always encourage you to
sing live?

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
Or no?

Speaker 14 (01:14:58):
Those times there they did want us to sing live,
not at all, but to the pops was great, wasn't it.
It was amazing When he was like, younger, you're looking
looking at and you think. I remember seeing those balls,
the glittery balls, and I think, and I think when
I looked on them, was that Janet the Jackson's was

(01:15:19):
on there, and I said, one day I'm going to
go on there.

Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:15:22):
So when I actually got there and I looked and
I saw the ball was still there, I was like, yeah, no, yeah,
they didn't encourage us to sing live those days. They
did you did you get to sing live? They always
wanted me to sing live, and oh, they probably just
thought I was rubbish.

Speaker 7 (01:15:40):
Some live as well, though he actually he sung live.

Speaker 16 (01:15:42):
Yeah, and and and then once to say about ten
ten thirty, so we singing live at that hour and
I'm going, my voice is cracking, and then I'm thinking,
so I can't do this and so I'm so like
been turned into rubble because my voice was croaking.

Speaker 20 (01:15:57):
But yeah, what an experience.

Speaker 10 (01:16:00):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
The biggest. What's like the biggest crowd you guys have
played in front of? O? Like its an arena, like
I think ten thousand people?

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Like what?

Speaker 4 (01:16:10):
Like, I don't know how big arenas are in Europe.

Speaker 18 (01:16:13):
Michael Jackson definitely going to.

Speaker 7 (01:16:17):
Jackson.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
So she played the biggest I actually saw the Jackson's
victory tour back I don't know when that was.

Speaker 6 (01:16:22):
When the palladium the big one?

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
No not is there a pladium in England?

Speaker 15 (01:16:29):
Back in.

Speaker 6 (01:16:33):
Yeah, I hadn't you snoggle? All the Americans get all
excited if they work the palladium.

Speaker 12 (01:16:40):
All right, A big deal.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
So how big is Wembley? How many people does it hold?

Speaker 10 (01:16:46):
Well?

Speaker 16 (01:16:46):
When I had the fortune of supporting Michael Jackson, I
remember being told because we did stadiums. I did about
forty three stadiums with him, and the smallest was in
Italy and Monzo and that was twenty five thousand people.
I don't know about now, but at the time it's
normally seventy five thousand people for stadiums. And then I

(01:17:09):
remember when we performed in Paris. I can't remember the
name of the stadium, but these fans couldn't wait to
get in, and I remember they either burned the gates
down or broke the gates down, and instead of it
being seventy five thousand people, they ended up being one
hundred thousand people.

Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
Oh wow, a lot of people.

Speaker 16 (01:17:29):
The organizers were terrified to say anything because a riot,
and I remember when I went on stage, because you know,
the stage is high up and I could see on
top of people's.

Speaker 20 (01:17:38):
Heads and they were all squashed up.

Speaker 16 (01:17:41):
Like I remember having a gig like a tin of
sardines slowly swaying from side to side, and.

Speaker 20 (01:17:46):
I just thought, if anything goes wrong here, that game over.

Speaker 4 (01:17:50):
But that was unbelievable believing nowadays, when you guys go
play like these places on the weekends, how big are
the crowds? Like I know, the last time for Pride,
like two years ago, she Spinisten played here for Pride,
but there was only like well only it was like
five thousand people. I guess that's a lot of people
because it's on a field in a field. Yeah, is
that about a normal sized crowd, like five thousand people

(01:18:12):
or something? Is that about normal? That's a smallish that's smallish, Okay.

Speaker 18 (01:18:16):
I think mine's forty thousand.

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
That's huge.

Speaker 17 (01:18:20):
That was actually in a show in a place called
Night Megan in the Netherlands, and that was actually with Marcus.
So that's a really special show for me. Actually, well
there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
How about you, Shaney. What's the biggest arena you played?

Speaker 14 (01:18:32):
Oh listen, they all blow into one. I'm really sorry,
so I can't remember, but one memorable one that I
do remember was a festival bar in Italy and I
remember standing up there in my little white frock and
there was all these flying I'm really scared of things
that fly, like birds and bugs and things like that.

Speaker 4 (01:18:57):
What who told me to look down?

Speaker 14 (01:19:00):
And when I looked down there was all of these
cock croaches on the floor. Like I was trying to
I don't even know if the cock croaches.

Speaker 20 (01:19:08):
They looked like cockroaches.

Speaker 14 (01:19:12):
They had all the lights, they had the lights everywhere,
and I was just trying to like find a little
dot where on the floor where it.

Speaker 36 (01:19:20):
Was nice and clean, and I was just like, ah,
but yeah, no, I mean I'm from Florida, and in
Florida the cockroaches fly, so they can actually like fly
like it ficks you out?

Speaker 4 (01:19:33):
How about you? Like, what do you think of the arena?

Speaker 14 (01:19:36):
Gosh, I'm trying to think.

Speaker 8 (01:19:37):
Because I've played a couple of places, so I'll take
Gay Pride in Clapham Common was huge. I remember doing
that and also Little Little Square in France as well.
That was quite a big festival that went on there

(01:19:57):
as well.

Speaker 7 (01:19:59):
Because the gay part back in the nineties. They were huge.

Speaker 14 (01:20:02):
It was just.

Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
A lot so in the chat room the best music
years eighties and nineties, says he has a question for Rosala.
Do you never performed in Italy at festival bar? It
was like Top of the Bops, Top of the Pops
or dance Machine in France? Did I ever perform on it?

Speaker 12 (01:20:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
Yeah, a TV show. Oh, I guess it's just festival
TV show. Yeah, TV show.

Speaker 20 (01:20:31):

Yeah. America was good to me.

Speaker 16 (01:27:16):
I used to travel there quite a lot, particularly in
the early nineties. And one of the TV shows that
springs to mind that I got the pleasure.

Speaker 20 (01:27:27):
Of doing or was the Senior Hall.

Speaker 6 (01:27:29):
Yes, I remember going on.

Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
Yeah, that was the biggest show at that time. That
was the biggest show. Too good, but I could not
believe it.

Speaker 16 (01:27:39):
And I just remember when I did this TV show
in a black massive box, was massive with like gold on.
It was a dressing gown and at the back it
had arsenio and it was for me in my dressing room.
I kept it for so many years that it got
so old.

Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
It's sort of sort of pulling the.

Speaker 20 (01:28:03):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (01:28:06):
Who has shows coming? Does anybody have shows coming up
that we should be promoting and telling everybody about since
all around the world is going to hear the show.
I don't know if anybody's got a show, but if
you do, speak up or mark speak up for them. Yeah,
we all have shows.

Speaker 20 (01:28:24):
We all bump into each other. We've become good friends
over the years.

Speaker 16 (01:28:29):
You know, we all have a great camaraderie and because
we know that we are in a tough industry and
we see each other at gigs.

Speaker 10 (01:28:38):
And go, yeah, we're still doing it.

Speaker 14 (01:28:40):

Speaker 14 (01:34:30):
Absolutely, that is great on my playlist.

Speaker 9 (01:34:33):
You know, it's just so much the same thing is
now though when we do because we're doing to rework
a bit, we're going to have to do an edit
because we're not allowed to have the word bitch anymore.

Speaker 10 (01:34:51):
We used to say beach just to sort of yeah,
but it's just too.

Speaker 6 (01:34:55):
To the bitch.

Speaker 20 (01:34:58):
On my playlist as soon as we done.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
Yet, how come you can't say bitch?

Speaker 7 (01:35:04):
Is that we can't have any swearing on the UK radio?

Speaker 4 (01:35:08):
Bitch?

Speaker 7 (01:35:10):
Bitch is the most offensive word ever.

Speaker 6 (01:35:13):
Oh wow, you could have. I got a couple in
America knocked your eyes out. The bitch looked like nothing,
you know. John Rivers used to use the word pussy
and so she changed it to Pusse.

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
Got away with it.

Speaker 10 (01:35:37):
About I'll probably change it to bad Yeah, way to
do it.

Speaker 11 (01:35:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:35:44):
So here's an interesting question for everybody. You've all performed
with a lot of great performers. If you guys were
going to go on tour today, and you can go
on tour with any musical act living or dead, and
you can't say Michael Jackson Rosala because you already did that.
If you could go on tour with any any kind
of musical act ever, and you're going to pick any

(01:36:05):
one act living or dead, who would you want to
go on tour with? And we'll start with Alex's time.
There you go, that's a great one. I agree. All right,
we're going to go up to the top of the
screen to mister Mark Love Rush.

Speaker 7 (01:36:22):
I would have to say, Patrick sways, oh.

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
As well, she's like the wind, he's saying. She's like
you just like him because he's cute.

Speaker 7 (01:36:39):
No, I actually love that song.

Speaker 4 (01:36:41):
It's like I like that song too. It's very cover.

Speaker 6 (01:36:44):
You like him because he's cute, and you're bitch.

Speaker 4 (01:37:00):
He's supposed to be the only one, all right, So Vicky,
he's Jed's j love that song and dirty dancing. The
best Patrick Swayze movie is called Roadhouse.

Speaker 6 (01:37:17):
He ye, I thought he was good Ghosts.

Speaker 4 (01:37:23):
Oh yeah, he was good in Ghosts. Vicky's turn. If
you're gonna go on to hold.

Speaker 19 (01:37:28):
A candle to me, I would say, I the Prince.

Speaker 6 (01:37:34):
That's all.

Speaker 18 (01:37:36):
People Bryson.

Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
Follows me on social media.

Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
It was the second one.

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
People Bryson's like an R and B singer who sings
like ballads, a lot of ballads. He's great. He sings
a lot of Disney song, like a lot of Disney movie.

Speaker 7 (01:37:55):
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:37:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:37:59):
But so ron Ron Moss is the guy from Player
and he's married to uh Devin who used Davasquez, who
used to be a supermodel, and she dated Prince. That's
our six degrees of separation. And also our friend Ozzie
Newton went out with Prince wants to all right, so
we're gonna go up to collect Oh god, And I've

(01:38:20):
had time to think about it.

Speaker 8 (01:38:24):
I think again always there's more than one, because I
love so many different people.

Speaker 4 (01:38:29):
You get you get to break the rules. You can
have three.

Speaker 8 (01:38:32):
Oh cool, Okay, so I'll have I'll have Anita Baker,
uh love uh Patty LaBelle Yeah, that's easy. Oh, I
forgot what her name is now influenced one American Idol

(01:38:57):
but not Yeah, she won American Idol when she uh.

Speaker 10 (01:39:02):
Yeah, Fantasia. Yeah, I love Fantasia.

Speaker 6 (01:39:07):
I love her.

Speaker 4 (01:39:09):
She does have a baby Daddy song. I used to
love that song. Yeah, she's a good one.

Speaker 10 (01:39:15):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:39:16):
Now we'll go to Rosala. Who can't pick Michael Jackson,
but a few people living or dead, who would you
like to go on tour with?

Speaker 16 (01:39:24):
Honestly speaking, I think all the artists out there are fantastic,
but I would say when I'm when I'm on tour,
which is with Alex party Shaney, Vicki from Capella Collette.
We haven't done gigs together. Maybe we have in the past,
I don't know. But I love performing with these guys.
That's nice anything because you know, we all feel nervous.

(01:39:47):
We all look at each other and go, we still do.
We've got another gig, and we know we know how
we we know, we know, And I just love seeing
him on the circuit.

Speaker 12 (01:39:56):
And that's.

Speaker 6 (01:39:58):
People are usually on a bill.

Speaker 4 (01:40:00):
How many people are usually like on a bill at
one time?

Speaker 14 (01:40:02):
To play depends on the show, depends on the show.

Speaker 20 (01:40:06):
Depends. It depends.

Speaker 18 (01:40:09):
I'm crumb in, yeah, depends.

Speaker 11 (01:40:13):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:40:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:40:14):
We went to a freestyle concert here and it had
like all the like Taylor Dane, Stevie b I don't know,
all these like dances. But there was like literally there
was like maybe twelve acts you know on it. You
get there at like seven o'clock and it's done. It
like it was a great show. But but but there
were so many people like you only got to really
be on there really for like I think the headliner's

(01:40:35):
probably got five songs maybe and everybody else got like
two or three.

Speaker 6 (01:40:42):
Shots. Didn't have to sit. We were in left wing stage.
Left wing.

Speaker 4 (01:40:47):
Yeah, we had green maxis.

Speaker 6 (01:40:49):
We were standing standing at the feet of all the performers. Graze.

Speaker 4 (01:40:56):
One good thing about having a popular show is that
we don't usually have to pay the gold places. That's great.

Speaker 6 (01:41:03):
Don't forget where media were press we sell you. I
expect us to pay to go to your show to
sell you. What the are you nuts?

Speaker 4 (01:41:15):
I've been and I've been to a lot of things.
I've been to the MTV Awards. We go to Academy
Award parties that are like, you know, talk.

Speaker 6 (01:41:22):
So to me if you come to my show. You
could come three. So what did you think I'd pay you? Well,
everybody else. That's because younger these days, nobody's paying you
any more. Mark, it's over.
