Loveparade Featuring Andrea Barker Love Train Straightgate Vocal Dub (1993)

Remember The O Jays This is a 90s garage house cover of Love Train, originally written by superstar soul, funk and disco production, songwriting team, Gamble Huff. It was a UK, 9 hit for The O Jays in 1973 and 20 years later, Loveparade gave it a dance update for Pulse8 Records. It wasn t a hit. Lee York (real name Norbert Kreuzer) and Rick Layne (Abraham Lin) were the Germanbased producers behind Loveparade and have worked together, under various guises, on many dance and pop releases. On vocals, is singer and actress Andrea Barker. She was previously a member of electrofunk girl group Street Angels, who released a couple of singles in the mid1980s ( Dressing Up UK, 81, One Bite N, A). She has also recorded and performed with The Weather Girls, Hot Chocolate, Lou Bega, Jimmy Nail and, since 2005, has established a successful Boney M tribute act, Memories of Boney M. This is my preferred mix of their Love Train cover, and speaking of covers, the German release has a much better sleeve, showing the band.
