MUSICAL YOUTH

The year was 1982 and with these triumphant words, five school kids from Birmingham named Dennis, Michael, Kelvin, Patrick and Junior launched themselves onto an unsuspecting public and into pop and reggae history. Their debut single, 'Pass the Dutchie' surged to #1 in the UK within two weeks of release and went on to sell over five million copies worldwide.  'Pass the Dutchie' even went as far as reaching #10 on the Billboard 100 US chart, becoming reggae music's first top ten hit in that country. For the next three years, the hits kept on coming as the boys brought reggae into the pop mainstream with singles like, 'The Youth of Today', 'Never Gonna Give You Up', 'Heartbreaker', '007', 'Tell Me Why', and 'Sixteen', as well as two albums, 'The Youth of Today' and 'Different Style'. They toured throughout the world, exchanging numbers with Michael Jackson. Motown legend, Stevie Wonder even wrote a song for them. Irene Carra (Flashdance) and Jody Wotley (Shalamar) both sang on 'Sixteen'. And they also sang a duet with Latoya Jackson. The band went on to record a fantastic song, 'Unconditional Love', with disco diva, Donna Summer, and also headlined at the world famous Montreaux Jazz Festival and Reggae Sunsplash.  Musical Youth became the symbol of achievement, hope and pride for many other youths of all ages, creeds, nationalities and colour around the world as their combined talent and hard work won them respect. They were nominated for a Grammy award as best newcomers in 1984. Dennis and Michaelare looking forward to seeing all Musical Youth fans around the globe. Why not call today for an instant quote!!
