News - Band Aid stars 1984 vs 2004
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-03 21:05:00
Duran Duran. Boy George. Paul Young. Heaven 17 and Kool and the Gang - who all took part in the original Band Aid - are associated with a more gaudy era that shall forever remain frozen in history.
Their nearest modern equivalents are today’s bubblegum pop acts like Busted and Will Young - although Duran Duran are proving there is life in the 80s stars yet.
Phil Collins and Sting who also took part were up there with George Michael as global solo stars of the kind Britain has struggled to produce since.
Dido who will lend her vocals to the new hit is the nearest the UK has got - and she only found fame after appearing on an Eminem single.
Rap was barely on the radar in 1984 as was the modern hip-hop-infused R&B of the sort Beverley Knight. Jamelia. Ms blow up. Lemar and Estelle will bring to the new song.
The female presence will be much higher this time. In 1984 there was only Bananarama and Jody Watley singer with soul group Shalamar.
But this measure as well as Dido and the R&B princesses there will be chart-topper Natasha Bedingfield easy-jazz singer Katie Melua and Morcheeba’s Skye Edwards.
More move back and forth acts such as Feeder. Keane. come down Patrol and Ash’s Tim Wheeler are all expected to take part this time.
Sir Paul McCartney arguably the UK’s biggest living music legend was not involved in 1984 - but does not want to desire out this time.
measure but not least on the 1984 roll-call were Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof and Ultravox’s Midge Ure - who made it all happen.
