D-Mob Introducing Cathy Dennis 'C'Mon And Get My Love'

Chart Peak: 15

YouTube

The third hit for D-Mob following 'We Call It Acieed' and 'It IS Time To Get Funky'... Had reached No. 23 by 22nd October 1989.

And indeed, this was the single that launched Cathy Dennis to an unsuspecting world, as well as becoming D-Mob's biggest US hit. It wasn't his or her biggest success back home though and seems little remembered now, although it does come from the largely ephemeral field of pop-dance. It's a fun and upbeat track that reminds me rather of Kylie's work around this time (though dare I say it better sung) but who would ever have guessed that over a decade later Kylie would still be around and having be hits with songs written by Cathy Dennis?

As much as I enjoyed this track I don't find myself with a huge amount to say about it. I suppose it falls slightly between the stools of serious fashionable dance and out-and-out pop, or maybe it's because Dennis can afford not to do comeback tours and stuff that her hits are less in the public eye nowadays than some of her contemporaries.

D Mob featuring Nuff Juice 'Put Your Hands Together'

Chart Peak: 7

YouTube

Fourth and last Top 20 for Dancin' Danny D (or Daniel Kojo Poku), which seems a fairly impressive achievement for a dance act of this time. Indeed I can remember several of his/their tracks, including this one, but I can't remember who Nuff Juice was.

Still, whoever did it, 'Put Your Hands Together' is a decent enough slice of commercial dance. The lyrics are decidedly stupid, but the energy is enough to make this pleasant for the four minutes it lasts, though not to make much difference to your life in the long run.
