Robin Beck

ROBIN BECK first came to prominence singing the Coca-Cola theme tune 'The First Time', scoring a major international hit in the process. Although this was to be the general public's inauguration into the lady's work, Beck had in fact been plugging away on the music scene for quite some time, having issued her debut album, the heavily Disco orientated 'Sweet Talk', in 1979. This soon forgotten opus, featuring backing vocals from no less a figure than Luther Vandross, included a cover version of TODD RUNDGREN's 'Hello It's Me'.

Private Life

More than one artist with that name: 1) Over on the dark side of the moon the rumours have began to swell. Jamie oozes an appetite for destruction as he plays his bass under the skies of purple rain. His uncanny yet supernatural knack on the drums struck an unheard chord building a tapestry of hysteria. Enter Renee. A jagged little pill of feminine randomness – her vocals addictively-educed with a lonely-hearts club attitude. Together under the joshua tree the duo begin to see parallel lines. Their sound the only element needed to build a bridge over troubled water.
