Vivienne McKone - Sing

Began dancing at the age of two and worked as a child in television. She attended a local dancing school, training in Amercan tap and jazz then went on to attend the Royal Ballet School. She appeared as a child as 'Velma', the solo dancer, in Alan Parker's Bugsy Malone, and inspired by the music of Paul Williams and the Soul and Pop Music of the 70's began a musical theatre involvement whilst performing as a solo artist and continuing acting and television work.

She has appeared as the receptionist in BBC's Casualty, and her first album entitled Vivienne Mckone was produced by American producer Stuart Levine (Crusaders, Randy Crawford, Simply Red). Her next album, entitled Souled Live, was recorded live in London in 1997. Her music, a pop-soul mix has been recognised and given a place on such albums such as the Jazz FM album Spririt of the Street - The Very Best of Inner City Cool alongside artists such as The Brand New Heavies, D'Angelo and Jamiroquoi.

She has also been approached to be the solo support act for American jazz artist Al Jarreau in May 2000. In 2001 she enjoyed playing to a packed out house at the Jazz Cafe, and the Scala supporting the legendary Omar and is currently putting together another studio album.

God, i have been waiting for 15 years to listen to this song again after i heard it the last time on a local radio station, i had no idea who sang it or what its title was. I have been searching all this time for it. Believe me, it's not easy to find something where all you remember is "sing, this is the time for love". you get around a million hits on google, if you search for that ;)

Yesterday i heard it on an internet radio stream, and saw the name and interpret, now i am here..

Awesome...

This song came into my head randomly the other day - and taken me days to remember Vivienne's name! As great as I remember. Got this on single at parents house - a visit to the loft the next time I go I reckon!

@Steril707 the same thing happened to me! If you look for this song you don't find it anywhere!

@Steril707 Ive got the vinyl EP but my turntable is long gone. Try Limewire if you have an ipod...

I love Vivienne so so so much - i saw her live on many occasions and she was/is so talented - her brother Ernie on bass was awesome too - they were some amazing gigs - jazz cafe, subterrania - amazing heady days. There was such a North London indie soul scene going on - boogie back, conscious, Nuff Tuff and of course Vivienne - bang in the middle of it all.

Cool Simon Laws mix on this too! This has made me smile - thank you!

I haven't heard this since 1993. This floats my boat, big time.
