    The dancer's name is Wunmi! She was in my creative arts class at City & East London college, as an arts & fashion design student. I remember her quite well. Slim, stunning and extremely talented. The whole Soul 2 Soul movement came out of another movement called the Madhatters in North London, pioneered by Trevor Nelson, who became one of the UK's most notable DJ's. He was my school mate at Kingsway Princeton and we kick started house parties from my apartment & house in North London, all while in college. We loved what we called Rare Soul in the 80's. Before we all knew it, our movement spread across all of London and underground parties. Jazzy B used to DJ a lot and is also from my neck of the woods of Finsbury Park. I remember the last house party where Jazzy B was the DJ. Before we all know it, Soul II Soul was born and BOOM! That's the skinny from an incognito fellow. They used to call me Prince haha, because I dressed like him. I can tell you all, it was the greatest time to be alive for all of us in the 80's ❤

This song is arguably one of the greatest R&B songs of all time not just one of the greatest 90s R&B songs I meant it when I said this is one of the greatest R&B songs period end of discussion. Such a timeless song that could of been played live in the 60s 70s 80s 90s or the 2000s. This song transcends time and space. What beautiful percussion harmony Melody and of course the strings violin 🎻 backup singers harmonizing. This song had everything except a violin or a guitar solo during the bridge.

    To my big bro R.I.P. I remember you taking me to a party where they played this, it was a hot summer's night and a bbq in a huge garden. This had just been realised. The DJ kept playing the intro for at least ten minutes then saying, "hold on, rewind" playing it over and over again (we played musical statues every time the dj stopped the intro to rewind it again and again). We danced to this tune so hard (after all the dj made it last for almost 20 mins and it was pure record decks at the time). I played in the garden and house until early hours and then you gave me a piggy back home where mom was so vex with you because you kept me out so late- I would give anything to go back there now and this song will always remind me of you

    Caron Wheeler Of Soul ll Soul Is 61 Today
    Golden Oldies is wishing English singer, songwriter, record producer and musician Caron Melina Wheeler a happy birthday today (born 19 January 1963). She officially rose to fame in the late 1980s as lead singer of R&B group Soul II Soul. Managed by her bandmate, Jazzie B, the group became one of the London's best-selling groups in the 1990s. Their debut album, Club Classics Vol. One (1989), which established them as a global success worldwide, earned two Grammy Awards and featured the UK and Billboard number-one singles "Keep on Movin'" and "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)".
    Happy birthday Caron Wheeler.❤

      Carol Wheeler is her name.
      She also had a solo album of her own after she left the group. One song was Blue Is The Color Of Pain. She had one more hit song off that album, too.

      Correction...Caron Wheeler is her accurate name...had first name wrong.
      Her 1st big hit was "I Adore You". Then "Blue" was her next big hit.
