TITLE: I Love to Love ARTIST: Tina Charles FORMAT1: MP3 /download/ FORMAT2: Licence (see below for conditions) RELEASE: 22/10/26 LABEL: INTV/VBEAT PRODUCER: PAUL TAMS Tina Charles (born Tina Hoskins; 10 March 1954) is an English singer who achieved success as a Disco artist in the mid to late 1970s. Her most successful single was the UK no. 1 hit "I Love to Love (But My Baby Loves to Dance)" in 1976. Charles began her career as a backing singer and session musician and recorded her first solo single in 1969 with a then-unknown Elton John playing piano. During the early 1970s, she supplied vocals for the Top of the Pops album series of cover versions of contemporary hits. In 1971, she made appearances in the first series of The Two Ronnies, the BBC1 sketch show starring Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett, performing songs such as "River Deep – Mountain High" and "Ruby Tuesday". In 1975, Tina and her friend Linda Lewis were backing vocalists on the Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel chart topping song, "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)".[5] Charles provided the lead vocals for 5000 Volts' 1975 disco hit single "I'm on Fire". Although not publicly acknowledged as a group member at the time due to contractual problems, Tina Charles was considered to have a stronger voice than the group's later official lead singers. The song reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart,and 26 in the Billboard Hot 100. Tina's big break came soon after in 1975, when Indian-British composer/producer Biddu, who had just enjoyed success with the disco song "Kung Fu Fighting" for Carl Douglas, produced the singles "You Set My Heart on Fire" and "I Love to Love (But My Baby Loves to Dance)" for her. The latter single spent three weeks at number one on the UK chart in March 1976 and was a major hit around the world. It won a Juno Award in 1977. In 1978, Charles was a joint winner at the World Popular Song Festival held in Tokyo, performing the tune "Love Rocks". Charles represented the UK and shared the top prize with Japan's own entry. Since 2000, Charles has performed throughout Europe, where disco music and her hit singles have been reappraised and she has become a popular live performer. This 2000 remake of the Number 1 single was Produced by Paul Tams and was also remixed by the USA HOT TRAX Label. =============== License Overview (full licence contained on download) Limited Commercial License The Seller grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use this audio track/s for commercial purposes, strictly limited to: Social media promotional videos (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) Independent podcast intro/outro or background music Small-scale local advertisements or independent films
