Keep Warm

Originally released in the UK by Virgin Records as part of the Italo House boom of the late 80s/early 90s, "Keep Warm" was a record which featured samples from "Taking Him Off Your Hands" by Mahogany Watkins, La Velle's 1979 track "Playgirl" and "What Happened to the Music" by The Trammps, with the hook coming from a 1987 track called "Keep It Warm" by Voices in the Dark.[2] As it was released two years after Black Box, when rave and indie-dance provided the dancefloor hits of the age, "Keep Warm" peaked low in the Top 75 at number 68.[3][4][5] However, with Eurodance becoming popular in the UK around 1994 (with this 'Commercial European Dance' boom seeing labels like Media setting up a UK office), the license to the track was picked up by Telstar Records was re-issued by their dance music label Multiply, becoming a Top 20 hit.
