Cappella biography
Producer : G. Bortolotti. Musical team : Max Persona, Lorenzo Carpella, S. Zucchini, B. Guerrini, S. Paganini, Diego Leoni, M. Picotto...
Legend says that Cappella was not a band formed just a few years ago : for some, its inception dates back to 1975. Only at that time, the name was different : The Cappella-Project. It started as a group of song-writers that created songs for other artists. Like the well-known Let's All Chant (Move Your Body) performed by the group Go... The hitsong Mallorca was shaking British dance floors for quite some time. This song was performed by Lewis Lovebump. And if you listen to the song Bauhaus (a.k.a. Push The Beat) you can hear the trumpet: that comes from another Cappella-Project tune, Papa's Got A Brand New Big Pag. And of course there were more hits like Transformation with the brilliant DJ Pierre Trance Mix, Six Days, Moonday and Dirty Games (1st U Got 2 Know). The name Cappella referred to Italian Renaissance Frescos and Chapels, and was chosen to evoke the idea of rebirth.
But... Suddenly The Cappella-Project stopped, and the only person left was Gianfranco Bortolotti. He was leading the Media team, when in 1987, with Francesco Bontempi's collaboration, he created the track Bauhaus/Push The Beat, which had great success in clubs all over the world, entering many of the European charts, including the UK Top 50 ! Fronted by the dancer and model (and maybe sometimes singer) Ettore Foresti, Bauhaus was a song reminiscent of the late 70's disco. About a year later the track Helyom Halib (sampling Yello's Goldrush and LNR's Work It to the Bone) was released, which turned out to be a major stormer, reaching very high positions in various international charts, including the UK Top 10. This chronicle of huge success was to continue with such massive tunes as House Of Al Kali, Be Master In One's Own House, House Energy Revenge, Get Out of My Case (where, according to some, we can hear for the first time Kelly's voice) and The Rotation Of The House. After that, Forresti was fired. The next tracks Everybody (sampling sounds from a single of Quadrophonia) and Take Me Away had huge success due to the use of a sample of Loleatta Holloway's Love Sensation by the Media team. Loleatta's voice was also sampled on a number of Black Box's tunes such as the massive Ride On Time and I Don't Know Anybody Else.
An unknown singer took her place, and in 1993, after a long break, the first commercial hit appeared, U Got 2 Know. Borrowing a sample to Ralphi Rosario - You Used To Hold Me, it became a huge hit in Europe, UK, and even the States (it went Top 10 in the UK and Germany, entered the Top 30 all over Europe, went # 3 in Israel, # 1 in Italy). During live appearances, the vocalist Anna Ross was on stage to front the project. Song was used by the basket ball team the Houston Rockets for their starting lineups. Cappella was sued for using the distinctive riff from Siouxie & The Banshees Happy House without paying publishing... And they lost.
In the meantime, the search for 'the voice of Cappella' continued. Another singer, Salee, joined the Cappella team, and the same year (1993) we saw another hugely successful single U Got 2 Let The Music. But Salee didn't like doing music videos, so in the 2 clips of U Got 2 Let The Music, one could already see the future singer Kelly Overett. U Got 2 Let The Music reached the top 10 almost everywhere (reaching #3 in Israel, #2 in UK being their biggest hit to date there, # 1 in Italy and Spain, #1 in the Billboard dance chart, # 3 in the MTV Europe chart). Kelly was the new frontlady, and Rodney Bishop the rapper. U Got 2 Let The Music contained samples taken from JM Silk Let The Music Take Control, originally released in 1987. The melody reminded of Alphaville's Sounds Like A Melody.
The Ace of Cappella tracks was undoubtedly Move On Baby. Released in January 1994, its powerful, racy and melodic theme took it to number one in the UK, the Euro Sales Chart and a number of other countries! According to rumors, vocals belonged to Eileina Dennis. Kelly and Rodney usually performed the song playback, apart from a Top of the Pops show in England in Februarywhere they had to use their own voices.
The radiomixes of the Cappella singles differed from country to country (but the videomixes were all the same !). They were adjusted to the style which was 'hot'at the moment of release in a country. Move On Baby's version that was released in Germany, the UK and most countries was more Techno-like. But the Dutch/Belgian and French radiomix (actually the Mars Plastic Edit) has a more 'commercial' (but nicer) Eurodance sound. Following that, Media released the dance floor's most eagerly awaited album of the year, U Got 2 Know.
Raps on Move On Baby and follow-up single U & Me weren't actually done by Rodney, but by Dutch rapper DJ MC Fixx it (he later confirmed it officially). MC Fixx It previously had a big success with the very first edition of Twenty 4 Seven's I Can't Stand and who was also the rapper of Anticappella's Move Your Body. American singer Vicky Shepard complained about the fact that the voice singing U & Me's chorus was his own voice which had been sampled from one of her own singles Love Has Changed My Mind which was released in 1992. She tried to take a legal action but in vain, because U & Me was released worldwide, US excepted, so the American laws could not do anything for her. She has never received any vocal credit or financial restitution of any kind. Rumor say that Cappella singles also borrowed some vocals to Angie Brown.
Kelly and Rodney did a lot of tours and gigs all around the world, appearing on the stage of not less than 3 editions of the Dance Machine concerts in Paris, France. Success of the project was so huge that several fake cassette albums were released in Poland. These albums (entitled Everybody's Free or U Got 2 Let The Music) only contained a few real Cappella tracks, along with other Italian artists tracks wrongly attributed to Cappella.
According to some rumors, album track What I Gotta Do (strongly inspired from the melody of David McWilliams's The Days of Pearly Spencer) was released in Japan only, but this is uncertain. In September, a new single was released worldwide : Move It Up. It featured vocals by Jackie Rawe.
Then in March 1995 the last single with the photo of Kelly Overett on its cover was released. It was called Don't Be Proud, with vocals done once again by an uncredited Eileina Dennis. No videoclip was shot, as Kelly had already left the band at the end of 1994 (as she announced it in an interview on the French radio M40). One of the rumors was that Kelly Overett was fired because Media wanted a 'real' singer in the group. It is a fact that when you listen to her solo release Follow Your Heart her voice is totally different from all the Cappella singles on which she is supposed to sing. Another explanation was given by G. Bortolotti himself : the success had got to the project members' head and they did not hesitate to tell the journalists to piss off. But more recently, Kelly herself revealed another truth : it was her decision not to enroll for another exhausting year for Cappella.
Rodney Bishop was also fired in the first place, and Patrick Osborne took his place (with a singer called Suzie ?). Patrick Osborne was from the boy band called Worlds Apart (and rapper for the group Patric). Allison Jordan was chosen from thousand other vocalists. When she joined Cappella, Patrick Osborne was still there. They both recorded a song which title is unknown, this was released as a single in Italy before Tell Me The Way was released. It is said that this single was so weak that it was even not played at the local radio stations. Afterwards Patrick Osborne left Cappella and Rodney Bishop came back.
Tell Me The Way (with its melody reminding of Terrorize - It's Just A Feeling and covering rather than sampling Pamela Fernandez - Kickin' In The Beat) was released. It had great success in the Italian official charts, and a large number of other countries. Alison was the voice on the single, with some help from Katherine Ellis. In January 1996 Cappella released I Need Your Love, it immediately climbed up the club and sales charts. They also released Back In Your Life (Some people say this single is released in Japan and others are saying it's from Australia) and in the summer of 1996 they released their second album called War in Heaven, and then in the fall they released their single Turn It Up and Down, a superb track in a typical Cappella style. They also released Don't Be Proud and Another You. According to rumors, War in Heaven was almost completely recorded before Kelly was fired, so it probably only contained a few songs really sung with Alison's voice. Zeitia Massiah did background vocals on Do You Run Away Now?.
In May 1997 they released a single called Be My Baby in most of Europe. The single U Tore My World Apart was only released in Germany. In Scandinavia the single Do You Run Away Now was released. The melody was inspired from Duran Duran Save A Prayer. Meanwhile in Holland the single The Big Beat was released. This single had a double side with another song from the older album Helyom Halib, called Be Master In One's Own House and previously released in 1990. Both singles were become big flops.
On 25 February 1998 the long-awaited new album was released in Japan with the title Cappella, including 14 songs. Also there were rumors about Rodney Bishop leaving the band, although one could see him at the live concert they gave in Japan. Afterwards, the rapper and producer Tiziano Pagani took his place. Tiziano also produced the single U Tore My World Apart and Bortolotti was only the producer of the Pagani Mixes. You can hear Tiziano Pagani also on the Pagani Remixes on the single Be My Baby, and in the remixes and mixes from Take Me Away, because they were only produced by Tiziano Pagani. As for the female vocalist, she was rumored to be Beverley Skeete.
On 1st of June 1998 a limited edition 12' Vinyl was released in Italy at BXR records (which is only a DJ label Promoting). The single was entitled People Of Love. Then, 3 singles were released at the same time in different countries, U R The Power Of Love in Germany, U Tore My World Apart '98 in Scandinavia and Throwin' Away in Japan. But U R The Power Of Love didn't make the hitlists. Afterwards, U Got 2 Let The Music '98 / Leave It was released. Very weird single, the track Leave It was without any rap or singing, but with only a voice saying 'Leave it'.
March 1999, Gianfranco Bortolotti announced that he didn't work on the Cappella project anymore, and that there would be no new releases by Cappella probably this year. He added that only when he would have some time, he would do some work for Cappella again. Some time later, there were rumors according to which there would be a new Cappella project with 4 well-known eurodance stars.
In October 2000, a message on the Official Media Records website announcing "The Return Of The Media Star : from Media Recording Studios is ready a new bumper sound, emblematic for the history of dance music: the new Cappella single. The title is unknown but the style is very happy energy massive. Stay in tune for other Cappella news". But this message was deleted several days after it was publicized...
October/November 2000 sees the spreading success of a song released by the techno project Freeze. They have released an trancesong called 2 Know and it used the sample "... U got 2 know how you make me feel..." This song was one of the themesongs of Love Parade 2000 and has already hit top 20 in Belgium. The hit U Got 2 Let The Music was also covered by a project named Max Deejay.
October 2001 : another comeback rumor... Cappella would be back with a new single, title still unknown. According to Media Records the single would be released in almost every European country. In November the info was confirmed : the new single will be a remix of U Got 2 Know. It was planned for January 2002, would contain a remix by Gigi d'Agostino and other Media Records DJs. Actually... But its release was delayed.
2002 : in July a whitelabel (12" vinyl record with several mixes, but without the official artist name) was released by Media Records, called U Got 2 Know 2002. In August the vinyl was released officially by Warner Music in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In the middle of September this release was available on a CD-single released by WEA.
October 2002 : according to some rumors, Cappella were in studios again. Nobody knew who would be the performers. But Media records had promised a next single, a really totally new one and not once again a remixed version of the old hits. An entire album was even planned, depending on the success of this next single. But once again, nothing came.
December 2003 : after another year of silence, once again Media records promised the return of Cappella. The new single, entitled (U R An) Angel ws said to be planned for January 2004. The new members of the group (according to rumors) would be called Jessy M and the new male singer would be called Dave Bee. There would not be any rapper.
2004 : the release of Cappella's new single was postponed to April 2004. Fans were losing hope again when... the first demos came out ! Contrarily to the first rumors, the brand new single featured female vocals and a rap as well.
2005 : a Cappella's best of CD+DVD was planned to be released under ZYX Germany around August. Working title was Best Of / Greatest Hits / Definitive Collection . But Media Records Italy still did not confirm this DVD release. The album War In Heaven was re-released in Germany on the 6th of June.
2006 : a new version of Cappella's U Got 2 Let The Music called Technical remix was planned to be released on a compilation.
2007 : U Got 2 Let The Music was covered by Tyro and published in France under Cyber Prod
2009 : U Got 2 Know was covered by the project Dubguru.
2010 : ZYX planned to release some new Cappella remixes on June 25th : U Got 2 Know 2010 and U Got 2 Let The Music 2010, both as maxi-vinyl. Move On Baby was covered by Dj Antoine.
2011 : Cappella's CD album The Remixes was re-released on Juno last August 8th. In December, Cappella released a new single : Power featuring Bootmasters. LMFAO's hit Party Rock main melody had some similarities with Cappella's Tell Me The Way.
2012 : U Got 2 Let The Music was covered by Mastermind DJ feat. Lareine. Meanwhile, a Dutch booking agency called International Artist feature a duet of performers under the name Cappella, available for half-playback gigs.
2013 : Cappella project was back for good with 2 new faces, an English married couple : singer Lis Birks, aged 20, from Werrington, and Marcus Birks, aged 28, from Leek. They used to be the members of projects The Cameleonz that they founded in July 2006, and it's under this stage name that they had appeared on stage of real-TV show Britain's Got Talent in May. The new Cappella formation was presented on November 2nd during Go 90's concert in Enschede (Netherlands).
2015 : Marcus and Lis posted that they were in studio to record vocals and raps for a new single... But nothing came out.
2017 : records company ZYX published a Collection Box Deluxe, including 3 CDs, one DVD and maxi-singles
2018 : Cappella released a new version of their hit U Got 2 Let The Music under name Cappella 2.0 feat. Mastro J
2019 : Mike Candys did a remix for Cappella's hit Move On Baby.
2021 : Cappella rapper Marcus passed away from Covid-19 at the age of 41.
2022 : the new members of the project were introduced : Vikki Waters from Manchester and Steve Lewis aka MC Breeze. Vikki was classically trained from the age of 4 years old, she has performed on shows and festivals all over the UK and Europe. She is also an actress and a model. As for Steven, he had been performing for over 25 years. He started a 2 year BTEC national performance course and consequently became a extra in programmes such as Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Brookside and various other projects. He joined the Army for 6 years after serving many tours. He became a youth worker at the start of the 90s then became heavily involved in Mc-ing.
