Barry Blue is a man of many talents. He was a '70s glam rock artist in his own right, with hits such as "Do You Wanna Dance?", before many decades as a producer, starting with working with Heatwave all the way to making records with the likes of modern acts like The Saturdays and The Wanted. He is one of the world's most versatile songwriters, whose songs have been recorded and sampled by the likes of Celine Dion, Diana Ross and Andrea Bocelli through to Missy Elliott, J. Dilla, Redman and Philip Bailey of Earth Wind & Fire.
