Café Society - Somebody To Love (12'' Mix) 1984

People Like Us Lead singer Cindy Dickinson was born in the UK and received professional training from the age of ten as a soprano at The Manchester School Of Music under Professor Campbell from BBC Radio. She worked with various bands all over the UK and also got involved with song writing. She came to visit her sister in South Africa and enjoyed it so much that she decided to stay. Whilst there she got an agent, which got her signed at RPM Records. She soon released a rock orientated single ‘Love Stealer’ which had on the B-side one of her own compositions called ‘You make me fee like a women’. With that song she won a Sarie Award (South African equivalent to the Grammies). The group Syndicate, with band member Peps Cotummaccio, approached her to join them and they were soon touring Cape Town for six months and also travelled to Italy, England, Greece, Portugal and Mexico for performances. They released the single ‘Don’t Go Into Town’. She also travelled on the passenger cruise ship the QE2 as the singer for the Harry Bence Orchestra for six months, which travelled from the UK to America. Paul Crossley and Terry Owen then became involved with her on ‘People Like Us’ and recorded several songs for which she received very little money and nothing was signed officially. Later after the initial success of ‘People Like Us’ this would become one of the topics that would tore the relationships of the band to an irreconcilable situation. After the birth of her son Cindy took a break from the industry and later became involved with other projects including ‘Strutt’ with Denise Ostler and Helena Muir. ‘Strutt recently also included a male singer David who came from Cindy’s singing school ‘Reach For The Stars Voice Training Academy’, of which she is the director. Cindy Dickenson is currently living in Durban, South Africa where her husband is the radio DJ Dave Guselli on East Coast Radio.

People Like Us - Deliverance (remix) 1986/1987

PEOPLE LIKE US were a High-Energy Dance Group from Johannesburg, South Africa. 
They had many hit dance records around the world in the mid 80's, mostly released internationally via PASSION RECORDS in London.  Their music was well produced, of a high quality with intelligently written lyrics (especially for Dance Music at the time). CINDY DICKINSON was the key vocalist. She has an outstanding voice and really made the People Like Us sound work - but was not always given proper credit by original group founders.  Unfortunately original group founder Paul Crossley dies of an AIDS related illness around the time of their main success. Cindy Dickinson (now Cindy Guselli) lives in Durban, South Africa with well known East Coast Radio DJ husband, Dave Guselli. 

People Like Us also had hits with the songs DELIVERANCE, MIDNIGHT LOVER (US Dance Chart #1),and FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES.

Koto - Japanese War Game (Club Mix) 1983

Hi NRG Italo Disco Eurobeat inspired synthpop from Durban's own Mike Durandt, it follows the tried and tested formula of potent synths and sultry, effeminate vocals over uptempo rhythms that conjure images of sweaty aerobics studios and suburban discos. It's either generic or timeless, depending on your memories of the era. This is the original South African 12'' Maxi release.  Later also released in Canada on Power Records.

Producer: Kevin Mason  
Engineer: Mike Durandt 
Recorded at: Coastal Recording, Durban, South Africa.
