M People Liverpool Empire 20/10/2013

 

M People (stylised as MPeople) are an English dance music band that formed in 1990 and achieved success throughout most of the 1990s. 
The name M People is taken from the first letter of the first name of band member Mike Pickering, who formed the group.
In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked them as the 83rd most successful dance artist of all time. 
M People have sold over 11 million records worldwide


 Pickering had been a member of 
Factory Records dance act Quando Quango, but became more noted as one of the original DJs at The Haçienda.
Paul Heard was a member of acid jazz band Ace of Clubs, and Shovell had previously been in the collective Natural Life.
The original plan had been to have a roster of different singers for different songs but having been spotted by Pickering and Heard, 


Heather Small became the distinctive vocalist of the group.
She had been in the English Soul band Hot House, which had released a number of critically acclaimed records without scoring any major success

 

Heather Small (born 20 January 1965) is an English soul singer who was the lead singer of the band M People and later became a solo artist. Her debut solo album was Proud, released in 2000. She was also a contestant in the British television show Strictly Come Dancing in 2008. 

Small, who grew up on a West London council estate,joined her first group, Hot House,
while she was still a teenager.
She was the studio singer voice of the re-recorded version of UK number 1 single "Ride on Time" from Italo house band Black Box.

After a chance meeting with Manchester DJ Mike Pickering, formerly of Quando Quango,
Small and her distinctive voice helped to sell over 10 million albums worldwide singing with the group M People.
They had considerable success with songs such as "Moving On Up", "One Night In Heaven" and "Search for the Hero".In 1997, Small performed on the "Perfect Day" record alongside a wide range of artists including Tom Jones and Lou Reed. The song was the official 1997 Children in Need charity release. It sold over a million copies and was the UK's number one single for three weeks, in two separate spells.

In 1998, after the release of M People's Best Of album,
Small and the band took some time off to pursue solo projects.
