Candido gets remixed by Johnny Vicious

In the UK in the late-‘70s, if the Gap Band’s ‘Oops Upside Your Head’ was responsible for the novelty rowing craze, then ‘Jingo’ by Candido started the now-embarrassing formation we call line dancing, complete with twirl, kick and shuffle!

Percussionist Candido, with Kleeer vocalist Woody Cunningham, created near mayhem with their ‘Dancin’ And Prancin’ album that also included the club classic ‘Thousand Finger Man’, but it was the curiously titled ‘Jingo’ that took a full two years to eventually cross the Atlantic and hit the lower reaches of the UK pop charts, later dominating dancefloors for years to come.

Now three decades on in the hands of Johnny Vicious it returns once more on the Warehouse label – newly mixed, remixed and cut to pieces by the skilled New York alchemist who’s behind a package of new millennium-friendly mixes that, whilst still retaining the spirit of the original, add freshness into an overplayed standard.
