Soul II Soul vs. Inner City

This one was a strange one... but I loved both: Kevin Saunderson and Shanna Jackson (a.k.a. Paris Grey) were Inner City and Jazzie B. and Caron Wheeler were Soul II Soul. The former hailed from Illinois, US, the latter from London, UK. Although both chartwise scored according to their country of origin, their musical style was vice versa. At the time, end 80s/early 90s, I saw them as rivals, when really they were complimenting each other. Both are two of my favourite formations. Ever.
