The Fun Boy Three with Bananarama – It Ain’t What You Do…. (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

“It Ain’t What You Do (It’s the Way That You Do It)” is a calypso song written by jazz musicians Melvin “Sy” Oliver and James “Trummy” Young. It was first recorded in 1939 by Jimmie Lunceford, Harry James, and Ella Fitzgerald.

The jazz tune was transformed into a pop song with ska elements in 1982. With the title slightly altered to “It Ain’t What You Do….”, it was included on Fun Boy Three’s debut self-titled album, but it was not available on a Bananarama album until 1988’s Greatest Hits Collection.

Terry Hall of Fun Boy Three owned a copy of Bananarama’s previous single “Aie a Mwana” and after seeing an article about the trio in The Face he decided he wanted them to sing background vocals on this song, solely based on the fact that he liked their look. “It Ain’t What You Do….” became a big hit in the UK, climbing to number four in the UK singles chart. The success of this single also prompted Bananarama to return the favour and have Fun Boy Three sing on their next single “Really Saying Something”.

Katrina And The Waves – Do You Want Crying (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

Written by keyboardist Vince de la Cruz “Do You Want Crying” was the foolow-up single to “Walking On Sunshine” and became a top 40 US hit reaching No. 37 in the late summer of 1985. The single also charted in the UK at No.96 and Canada at No.29.

This song has pretty much been over shadowed by “Walking On Sunshine” but in my opinion it is a great 80’s pop song that deserves to be revisited again.
