RECORD REVIEW - BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
Barbara Tucker
looked set to explode on the dance scene and take her rightful place
among the divas in the mid 90s. She had promoted the legendary
Underground Network weeklies in New York that featured Lil Louie
Vega and a parade of guest stars. Her debut single "Beautiful
People" was released on Strictly Rhythm to a fantastic response
among garage fans. Uplifting lyrics, gospelly chords and Vega's
customary dance-inspiring beats made the song an instant classic.
"I Get Lifted" and "Stay Together," fortified with mixes from Armand
Van Helden and Frankie Feliciano, built the anticipation for a
full-length to a fever pitch. Both the label and Tucker promised
one would be forthcoming.
There were
one-off singles, like "Peg" on Hospital Records, her vocal rendition
of DJ Pierre's "Horn Song" (retitled "Everybody Dance"), and a hit
duet with Daryl B'bourneau, "Stop Messing With My Mind," but there's
still no LP on the horizon, or is there?
