Sporty was the only one who could actually sing. Doing very well for herself on the stage these days.

I liked that duet she did with Bryan Adams - When You're Gone

Sad Sweet Dreamer - Sweet Sensation

I think they were one hit wonders.

I think Sweet Sensation also had a minor hit with a cover of Abba's pre-fame song So Long.

Black lace actually did some great songs for discos, especially good for getting the older and younger members up and dancing.
They also did a couple of 'adult' songs which were half decent - to the tune of Agadoo was have a screw and 'we're having a gang bang'

Re: Naff Songs/Singers You Hated To Love

I'll always have a soft spot for Black Lace as their Party Party album was the first piece of music that I owned! For a while it was the only cassette I had to listen to on my little portable cassette recorder as I went through the first stage of that awkward transition from little kiddie to music loving teen.

Re: Naff Songs/Singers You Hated To Love

Rita Sue and Bob Too - That song they were all dancing to always makes me really laugh! And Agadoo, reminds me of a horrible Hula Hula Pub party, in 1984 - it's so 80's vile it's Art!
