Darryl Pandy - Animal Magnetism

The outrageous larger than life Darryl was the vocalist on "Love Can't Turn Around", the first House record to cross over pop in 1986. I instantly recorded him for the new label, Nightmare Records, just after leaving Record Shack, and we had this out by Christmas 1986, as the follow up to his hit. While not charting, it sold ten thousand and established the label, particularly round the world. Darryl, of course, went on Top Of The Pops, rolling around on the floor and kicking his shoes in the air, and the BBC had jammed switchboards.

I wrote this song with Hans Zimmer, years before he went on to win all his oscars as Hollywood's top film composer.

Is that Tracy Ackerman on backing vocals?

[IanLevine]

Yes - she recorded the original version, which was released in the early 1990s on a double CD called "Record Shack - 36 Rare And Unreleased Gems"

RIP Darryl Pandy!

[JEDI7ACEN]

Darryl is really underrated! Way better than the so called singers that were or is out now trying to sing. Well there isn't many singers out now, just Auto tuners.

These new schoolers should recognize the power of Mr. Pandy.

I still boom "Love Can't turn Around" in the car.

I love your music, do you prefer vinyl or CD for listening back to your work on?

[CedrictheDragon]

This is my fave of your hits on the CD I have, even though I have a soft spot for So Many Men(So Little Time)

@IanLevine Hi Ian, the Heaven of the early and mid 80's seem a long time away! I used to come and talk to you in your DJ loft - probably thought I was a stalker but just a fan - you were always the best DJ and you and Fiachra have an amazing catalogue of great music and I would like to thank-you! Do you have a recoding of Every Waking Hour? I love Linda's vocal performance on that record.

I remember Love cant turn around as a schoolkid This is better! Amazin bursts that only a gay brother is capable of unleashing.

[nickbraak]

[rideltrompeta]

True showman, wish I had seen him Live...
