720 ( 702a) Hello Alison Limerick - Where Love Lives ( Come On In )
Chart entered : 30 March 1991
Chart peak : 27 ( 9 as a re-mix in 1996 , 44 in a re-mix in 2003)
Number of hits : 11
Here's one that's got slightly out of sequence.
Alison was born in London and attended dance school before becoming a session singer and musical actress. In the eighties, she worked with The Style Council, Squeeze ( in the ill-fated Labelled With Love musical ) and This Mortal Coil.
In 1990 she was spotted performing the Billie Holliday song God Bless The Child at a show at the ICA in London by Swedish house producer Lati Kronlund. He had this track ready to go but needed a singer with a wide vocal range and invited Alison to come in and record it.
"Where Love Lives" didn't really attract my attention at the time but now it sounds a top class house track with an arresting piano intro, a strong, rather risque song at its heart, an excellent vocal performance and chilly Scandinavian synth washes to give it greater depth. It wasn't a hit when first released in 1990 but charted the following year after becoming a club hit in slightly re-mixed form. It routinely scores high in Best Dance Single polls. Both the later versions are shite.
