Description

Princess' appearance at a London fashion show caught the eye of a member of the team working for songwriting and production trio Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman, who were eager to continue their streak of success in the charts following the release of songs like Hazell Dean's "Whatever I Do, Wherever I Go," Divine's "You Think You're A Man," and Dead or Alive's iconic "You Spin Me 'Round (Like A Record)".Inspired by The BB&Q Band's "Genie," and the work Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis did for The S.O.S. Band, Stock Aitken Waterman decided to take a stab at credible soul recordings, carefully curating sounds that would complement Princess' powerhouse vocals.Although the collaboration between the parties ended abruptly at the end of 1986, "Say I’m Your Number One” is still very much considered as the jewel in the crown of Stock Aitken Waterman’s cavalcade of hits.Show TracklistingYou Spin Me 'Round (Like A Record) (Dead Or Alive)I Wanted Your Love (Luther Vandross)Love Is War (Brilliant)Say I'm Your Number One - Demo Version (Princess)Say I'm Your Number One - 7" Mix (Princess)Respectable (Mel and Kim)Princess on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hrsprincess/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/611798185548155/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HRSPrincessPhil Harding on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhardingmusic/Twitter: https://twitter.com/phardingmusicHost and Producer: Diego MartinezExecutive Producer: Nicholas "NickFresh" PuzoAudio Engineer: Adam Fogel Follow us on social media: @choonspodSubscribe to our PATREON: patreon.com/choonspod
