Damn, she really was underrated and embarrassed I forgot her and her music. Also, every time I see Lyndon David Hall it makes my heart sink, passed away way too soon, brilliant talent. Also, I could of sworn Nate James was from the UK?
Another correction .. Shaznay did not sing backing on I want to be your lady … Michelle Escoferrey of Truce and later Ivor Novello winner sang the backing 👍🏾
Here are Hinda's big remixes in the Garage clubs! You Think You Own Me (Booker T Remix) ua-cam.com/video/XJlOB_-t2j0/v-deo.html I Wanna Be Your Lady (Curtis and Moore Remix) ua-cam.com/video/InaHHzitrqc/v-deo.html If You Want Me (Lenny Fontana Remix) ua-cam.com/video/FwNmvKwgPtk/v-deo.html
I think Hinda got caught up in the label/artist changes when Universal Music bought Polygram, owner of the Polydor, Mercury, Def Jam, Motown, Island, A&M and Fontana record labels. A lot of singers and bands were dropped, transferred or careers held up by executives who were restructuring based on sales and expenditure. Samantha Mumba was locked into her Polydor contract for 7 years despite only releasing 1 album and execs wouldn't release any new material - her career was basically destroyed. Hinda was fantastic, but she didn't stand a chance, the labels were signing too many people and not committing to them. Steph, you really should give us a First Avenue management profile, they managed most of the acts you've profiled. For good or bad, Dennis Ingoldsby and Oliver Smallman managed to find the bulk of Black British Pop-R&B talent, secure them deals and put them in the mainstream, they had the midas touch.
I totally agree! Due to the label changes, Hinda got lost and then unfortunately dropped. I’ll see what I can do with putting together a video on First Avenue Management’s profile, as I do have a few videos of some of the artists signed with First Avenue coming up soon :)
I loved the Brooklyn funk remixes of If You Want Me and YouThink You Own Me, I also loved the Full Crew Remix of I Wanna Be Your Lady. I wasn't sure about the original versions.
Can I put a request in? Or rather 2 if you’re able to find much. There were 2 girl bands around at the late 00s/early 2010s called Vida who sang Boombox and Vanquish who sang The Harder You Love. It seems like they had the one song then disappeared entirely
I never heard of them. Do you remember Girls@Play, "Airhead and Respectable, and Fe-m@il, who sang "Flee Fly Flo"? They were both in the early 2000s. Also, do you remember a singer called Lisa Roxanne, who sang No Flow?
@@flowerofthesouth Oh yes I do remember them all! I’ve been looking into Lisa Roxanne actually, but there’s not much info on her at all. But I’ll see if I can at least make a short video with the bits of info dotted around the internet.
I Wanna Be Your Lady is in constant rotation. One of the best British R&B songs ever. Her voice is like melted chocolate on that song.
Damn, she really was underrated and embarrassed I forgot her and her music.
Also, every time I see Lyndon David Hall it makes my heart sink, passed away way too soon, brilliant talent.

Yes my apologies you’re right. Nate James is from the UK, I think I read that he has some ties to the US. Thank you for pointing that out :)
Oh Seph, love the way your videos pop out of nowhere and give me a jolt of nostalgia, how I have forgot about Ms Hicks until now 😂

Oh gosh thank you for this! I'd completely forgotten how much I loved her as a kid ❤

I would love to see a video of A*M*E at some point!! Very underrated artist, was a huge fan back in the days❤️
I’ll see what I can find and will put together a video soon ❤️

A correction … Hinda was born to a Tunisian mother (beautiful mother) and actually a French natural father and British step father 👍🏾
Nice one Seph 👍🏾, I used know someone who dated her in early 90s.

Have you done Fundamental/FD3 yet?
@@matthewprince9705 Yes I’ve done them already. They were one of my earlier videos.
