Dan-I: Nicely Nicely LP VDK 8001: DAN-I - Nicely, Nicely (LP)
I first met Jamaica-born Selmore Lewinson in 1969; even then as a 13 year old at Holland Park School, he was known as Dan-I. I used to call him Black Danny, always happy-go-lucky, amazing that I used to teach him and his class Spanish as an assistant to Mrs. Inez White.

While still at school Dan-I started getting hired as a session singer in London's vibrant recording scene. Some ten years later, our paths crossed in London, Dan-I now signed to Island Records being groomed for stardom. Monkey Chop was a Top 20 hit in Britain and # 1 in various countries around the world. I remember Dan-I leading me around the Chiswick, London offices of Island Records in 1980, acting as though he owned the place. After meeting with the then managing director, I was introduced to a young Irish manager, Paul McGuinness whose band had just been signed to Island. Soon after, Dan-I was released from his contract and that young band - U2 - had replaced Bob Marley as Island's meal ticket.

Dan-I lived in Los Angeles in the mid 80s after a stint in New York. Besides releasing this compilation of his various efforts from the late 70s, Dan-I recorded several demos in Los Angeles. Later, Dan-I lived in South Africa before returning to London. The legendary Trevor Horn is the uncredited producer of Monkey Chop.

Dan-I passed away from unspecified causes in September 2006.

The Best Of Rodney On The Roq CD PBCD 88155-2 DRAMARAMA - Private Life (COMP)(CD)
By no means the first Posh Boy act to cover a New York Dolls tune - F-Word! recorded Bad Girl in '78 - Dramarama delivered a great version of The Dolls' Secret World to be included in The Best of Rodney On The Roq (now available through Rhino Records). Posh Boy arranged twice for Dramarama to fly out to the west coast from their homes in New Jersey, only to see Posh Boy's then distributor turn down the Cinema Verite album, containing their hit Anything, Anything.
