Haywoode - A Time Like This 1983
Haywoode trained from an early age at London's Corona Stage Academy.
Her career started with modeling, dancing and acting roles in British television shows like "The Gentle Touch" and was a regular as a Hill's Angel on "The Benny Hill Show". Movies include: Ragtime, Superman & others
Singing, dancing and modeling roles in the West End theater (Bubbling Brown Sugar), She joined Flick Colby's Zoo, as professional dancer performing weekly on BBC One's T.O.T.P She was approached a year later to record a demo by Sony CBS records offering a deal.
Her debut single, "A Time Like This", reached the Top 5 in the US Hot Dance Club Play Chart, and established her distinctive brand of soulful funk/pop. Via a succession of singles - including a couple of tracks produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, "You'd Better Not Fool Around", "I Can't Let you go and "Getting Closer" later on covered by Kylie minogue.- In July 1986 with the song "Roses" she hits the top 20 in the UK music charts. [1] Her debut album Arrival (released soon after "Roses") included Haywoode's cover version of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover".

The Arrival album was being sold online (Amazon Japan) for $800 so In February 2010 Cherry Red's Cherry Pop label released a digitally-remastered Arrival - Special Edition, featuring seven bonus tracks and in-depth 'making of' article with four new interviews with those involved in its creation (producers Phil Harding and Bruce Nazarian, CBS Executive Steve Ripley and Haywoode).

Due to popular demand from her 80s fans in 2011 Haywoode released an album named Bounce Back, collaborating with different producers in Australia, Netherlands, Italy and US.

This was my favourite track from the Arrival Album and has an Extended Intro, Beefed up the bassline, added effects and Outro. Hopefully not played around too much with an excellent original track.

Starpoint - Miracle Love
Taken from the 1982 Album 'All Night Long' This was never released as a single or 12" and was a seriously underrated track. 
 

Starpoint - Miracle Love (Wonkar's Extended Rub)


Central Line were a post-disco, pop and jazz-funk group, based in London, England. They recorded three albums for Mercury Records in the 1980s, and had two hit singles in the United States, as well as one Top 40 success in their native country.

The band was formed in March 1978, and were signed to Mercury Records early in 1979 by John Stainze. The original founding members were Steve Salvari, Camelle Hinds, Lipson Francis and Henry Defoe. Hinds, Francis and Defoe were previously in a band called TFB (Typical Funk Band), which had contained members that would go on to form Light of the World. TFB also contained the drummer Errol Kennedy, who later joined Imagination. Salvari joined TFB after the departure of Kenny Wellington in late 1976, as their second keyboard player and the band members then stood at Salvari, Hinds, Francis, Defoe and Kennedy. The band gigged for about a year then broke up. Francis and Defoe went to work with a bass player who was in Boney M., and Salvari and Hinds staying together to work on various projects.

In early 1978, four of the TFB members got back together, and expanded the previous format by recruiting Linton Beckles and Jake Le Mesurier. The band decided they needed a new identity, and Defoe came up with the name Central Line, because the band were now running down a central line of funk and soul.

They toured with Roy Ayers, Grover Washington, Fat Larry's Band and The Real Thing. Central Line released their first single, "Wot We Got Its Hot" to a good reception, but their second single "Sticks & Stones" did not fare so well. They finished the year appearing on BBC Television's, Linda Lewis' Roadshow.

Salvari left in early 1980. After working with Barry White, Robert Palmer and Sheena Easton, he continues in the music industry as a record producer.

Bassist Hinds later formed Hindsight with Defoe, and also played bass in The Style Council, as well as forming The Walkers with trumpet player Canute Wellington, and releasing "(Whatever Happened To) The Party Groove" / "Sky's The Limit" in 1983.

Francis and Beckles are now dedicated to the church, and Le Mesurier died in the 1990s from an accidental drug overdose.

Despite a club hit with "Walking into Sunshine" which sold well in the United States, and a UK Top 40 hit with "Nature Boy", consistent mainstream success eluded them, and they disbanded in August 1984.
