Blind Item Bands, August 16, 2006...

I love me some Mai Tai. The only British based female group of Surinamese (?) heritage that I can think of, they had 2 top-10 songs in England, which I absolutely adored. I used to get the "Now That's What I Call Music" tapes imported from the UK back in the 80s, and along with cheese like this exposed me for the first time to the Smiths, Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood, just to name a few.

Click here to hear their #9 song "Body And Soul" from 1985.

and here's the video for "History" which made #3 on the Dance chart and #8 in the UK..
