Cappella is the creation of Italian Gianfranco Bortolotti... 'Move On Baby' is the group's 3rd smash hit in the last year and has followed 'U Got 2 Know' and 'U Got 2 Let The Music' into the British Top 10.
Not the biggest of the act's many Top 20 hits, 'Move On Baby' is remembered now if at all for the notorious Top Of The Pops performance on which the public face of the group, Kelly Overett, made it clear that she hadn't contributed the vocal on this track, which was instead the work of an unidentified session singer. I don't know whether Rodney Bishop was really the rapper on this track either but he just about gets away with his vocal. )You can, incidentally, see the full episode from which that clip is taken in higher quality at Pop Unlimited 1994, also featuring people who could sing or at least had the sense to mime.
In truth, Cappella was more of a franchise than a band, with Bortolotti calling in assorted sessioneers and producers to work on tracks and hiring others to represent them on stage. I'm not sure whether this makes it ironic that the name is Italian for church. Whoever put it together, 'Move On Baby' is formulaic but proficient and it is at least catchy. Well, perhaps "unforgettable" is a better word if you've seen TotP.
