Beverley Knight - Made It Back 1999

Parlophone Records CDRHYTHS 18


Finally, the second of Alifunk's Beverley Knight's Made It Back CD singles. Released in April 1999, this was the first single taken from her re-packaged album. Made It Back '99 features a more commercial production provided by TNT and Mike Spencer, who introduce a sample of 's Good Times by Chic into the song. The Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards groove with its bitchin' bassline, has been used more times than a 2 Bit hooker but Boy, does it feel at home on this number. Not much left of the Soul Inside production of course, but what the hey, it still includes Redman & Specialist. I guess you can't make an omlette without breaking eggs?

The single became Knight's first top 20 single in the UK when it peaked at #19 upon its release. It was supported by a re-released version of Prodigal Sista, which contained this and two other remixed tracks. A new video was also created, but was not included on the CDS but I've included it here. As with the original, it uses the TNT 7" Mix which does not feature Redman. The Booker T Night Time Dub is typical 4x4 Garage fodder although it does retain much of the vocal.

  2. Thank you again Mickey to post this CDS.
    I know that it's a commercial mix but i love it, powerfull voice with a infectious beat.
    I'm happy to watch this video, i suppose that my friend Larry DJ is happy too (he's a big specialist on R&B videos).

    Kind regards

  3. I have loads of 90's soul videos on VHS, from Soul of MTV, but no way of getting them onto my PC. I bought a video card but the PC ignores it. Very disappointing. :-(
