Ahead of my next One More Time club night (1999 on 19th March) - hope those Moopsters who made 1998 night can make this, I thought I'd kick off some pop memories of 1999.
We had what seemed like every 'ageing' diva going to Metro or other producers for a new version of Believe (hi Tina Turner, Diana 'I want a little more bass' Ross, Belinda Carlisle, Mike & The Mechanics, Lulu and Donna Summer). And poor Gloria trying to keep her Gloria! campaign going having gone early on the divas do dance craze.
The girl groups got some instruments - hi Hepburn and Thunderbugs and the 21st Century Girls (whose career ironically never made it into the 21st Century).
And obviously THIS which got poo pooed by the music snobs but was a glorious moment in pop.
It seemed there were shedloads of new manufactured pop bands and solo acts launched each month!
