Touch and Go
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Touch and Go is an acid jazz ensemble. The most notable singles that they recorded include 'Would You...?', 'Straight... to Number One' and 'Tango in Harlem'.
In October 1998 'Would you...?', a track marked by its distinctive sampling of a woman's voice saying 'I've noticed you around / I find you very attractive', reached the #3 spot on the UK pop music chart. It became a hit in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where the ensemble toured extensively. 'Would You...?' has been included on such television show soundtracks as the American G String Divas and the cult British series As If. The track has also been sampled for San Pellegrino, Carlsberg and Nokia advertisements [1].
'Straight... to Number One' was also featured in some advertisements, including one for Apple Computer's iTunes. The song was also featured in the first season of the American version of Queer As Folk
As of 2007, the ensemble is still touring Eastern Europe and performing their popular tracks from the mid 1990s[2]
