Soul II Soul :

Soul II Soul is a 2-time Grammy winning act that emerged at the end of the
1980s from London. The group initially attracted attention as a sound
system, playing records at house and street parties (where their clothing
style - dubbed "Funki Dred" - quickly made a splash, inspiring them to
start a line of clothing). Founded by Jazzie B and featuring a changing
roster of other musicians - notably Nellee Hooper Simon Law and Caron
Wheeler - Soul II Soul's experiments in music-making of their own resulted
in the dub plate "Fairplay," which secured them a deal with Virgin Records.
They had huge hits in 1989 with the singles "Keep on Movin'" and "Back to
Life (However Do You Want Me)," both from their debut album Club Classics
Vol. I. These songs (both featuring Wheeler on vocals) set the tone for
early 90s mainstream dance music in the UK.
Their follow-up album, 1990 - A New Decade, yielded the hits "Get A Life"
and "A Dream's
Keep on Movin'
