Cappella - U Got 2 Know (1993)

The name Cappella was first used in the year 1987. In the beginning, the act was a Hi-NRG act and the main man behind Cappella was the Italian producer Gianfranco Bortolotti of Media Records, with contributions from the likes of Michele Persona and Mauro Picotto. In 1988, the act debuted on the British charts with the song 'Bauhaus (Push the Beat)', and the following year with 'Helyom Halib' which peaked at UK#11. At the time, the act was fronted by the singer Ettore Foresti. Three years later Cappella scored another UK Top30 hit with 'Take Me Away', which sampled Loleatta Holloway's 'Love Sensation' - the same track that had been unlawfully sampled on 'Ride On Time' by Black Box in 1989.
It was not until 1993 when Cappella began to gain momentum. After 'U Got 2 Know', based on the distinctive riff of Siouxsie and the Banshees' 'Happy House', got to the heady heights of UK#6, two permanent members were drafted in: rapper Rodney Bishop from London and ex-SL2 dancer Kelly Overett from Ipswich.
'U Got 2 Let the Music', which sampled Alphaville's 'Sounds Like a Melody', was released in October 1993 and climbed to UK#2, held off from the top slot only by Meat Loaf's 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)'.
Further hits followed: 'Move On Baby' UK#7 February 1994, 'U & Me' UK#10 in June and 'Move It Up' UK#16 hit in October.
Shortly after this, Kelly was fired from the group. It emerged that she had not actually performed on any of the records - though this should have been obvious to anyone who had seen her performing 'Move On Baby' live on Top of the Pops.
