Kav's cover of Shalamar's 1982 groover 'I Can Make You Feel Good' gave him his first Top Tenner in January '97 when it made No. 8... It was the third chart single for Manchester's newest singing sensation.The days were ending when a teen-pop act who didn't make the Top 10 with his first two singles would get to release a third, although perhaps "Kav" was in any case protected by sharing a manager with Take That. Actual quote from the Wikipedia entry about his debut album: "Kavana worked with many big name stars on the album including Lulu and Howard Donald".
Anyway, his version of this song is a fairly straight retread of the original (caution: clip contains Simon Bates getting the title wrong. Twice.), but with a slightly more Nineties production. I was never fond enough of the original to care one way or another about covers of it, and he does an acceptable but uninteresting job. Ten years after his sole Now! appearance, he readopted his first name (Anthony) and re-emerged as a reality TV show competing for a part in Grease. He didn't win.
