Будущий солист группы "Ottawan" Жан Патрик (Jean-Baptiste Patrick) с юных лет работал в шоу-бизнесе. Во время учёбы в школе на Карибских островах пел в хоре. После школы уехал во Францию, где создал свою собственную группу "Black Underground". Долгое время успех в музыкеобходил его стороной, пока, наконец, его пение не услышал известный композитор Daniel Vangarde. Он предложил ему свою помощь при условии, что Жан сменит название своей группы на "Ottawan". В результате первая же их композиция "D.I.S.C.O." (1979) стала хитом. А через два месяца сбылась заветная мечта Жана: он стал звездой "диско": композиция "T`es OK" (1980) была №1 во Франции, а её английский вариант "You`re OK" целых 20 недель не выходил из европейских TOP10. Известными песнями группы "Ottawan" были также композиции "Sha-la-la song" (1980), "Hands up!" (1981), "Crazy music" (1981), "Siesta for two" (1981), "Shubidube love" (1981), "A.I.E. is my song" (1981), которые сейчас широко распространены в mp3 в рубрика дискотека 80-х и ретро. За первые три года своего существования "Ottawan" продал около 17 млн. дисков. Вторым участником группы была девушка Жана - очаровательная Аннэт (Annette), приехавшая вместе с ним с Карибских островов.

Odyssey is originally a New York City, United States-based singing group, best known for their 1977 hit "Native New Yorker," and a series of other mainly dance and soul hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Mo-Do was formed when Frittelli met the producer Claudio Zennaro. Other producers who worked with Frittelli (sometimes quoted as members of the group) were Fulvio Zafret, Mario Pinosa and Sergio Portaluri.
Mo-Do is probably best known from the single "Eins, Zwei, Polizei" (co-produced with Zennaro and Zafret) which reached No. 1 in the German, Austrian and Italian music charts.

You may not know his name, but you'll probably recognize his voice. Since the death of Klaus Nomi, Somerville has reigned as the best white falsetto singer in pop music; his soaring voice propelled Bronski Beat and the Communards to respectable chart positions (especially in Europe) during the 1980s, and his return to musical activity finds him in excellent form. Dare to Love doesn't really break much new ground for Somerville. He's still working the club floor with disco-inflected dance-pop, and his melodic sense is still as strong as ever -- from the airborne melodic lines of "Heartbeat" to the down-and-dirty funk of "Alright," this album is a smorgasbord of pure pop pleasure.
