    The dancer's name is Wunmi! She was in my creative arts class at City & East London college, as an arts & fashion design student. I remember her quite well. Slim, stunning and extremely talented. The whole Soul 2 Soul movement came out of another movement called the Madhatters in North London, pioneered by Trevor Nelson, who became one of the UK's most notable DJ's. He was my school mate at Kingsway Princeton and we kick started house parties from my apartment & house in North London, all while in college. We loved what we called Rare Soul in the 80's. Before we all knew it, our movement spread across all of London and underground parties. Jazzy B used to DJ a lot and is also from my neck of the woods of Finsbury Park. I remember the last house party where Jazzy B was the DJ. Before we all know it, Soul II Soul was born and BOOM! That's the skinny from an incognito fellow. They used to call me Prince haha, because I dressed like him. I can tell you all, it was the greatest time to be alive for all of us in the 80's ❤

    To my big bro R.I.P. I remember you taking me to a party where they played this, it was a hot summer's night and a bbq in a huge garden. This had just been realised. The DJ kept playing the intro for at least ten minutes then saying, "hold on, rewind" playing it over and over again (we played musical statues every time the dj stopped the intro to rewind it again and again). We danced to this tune so hard (after all the dj made it last for almost 20 mins and it was pure record decks at the time). I played in the garden and house until early hours and then you gave me a piggy back home where mom was so vex with you because you kept me out so late- I would give anything to go back there now and this song will always remind me of you
