Michelle Patricia Gayle (born 2 February 1971) is a British recording artist, songwriter, actress and author. Gayle had success as a Soul and R&B singer in the 1990s. She achieved seven Top 40singles in the UK Singles Chart, her two biggest hits to date being "Sweetness" (Number 4, September 1994) and "Do You Know" (Number 6, February 1997). She released two Top 40 albums through RCA Records but they parted company in 1997, and although Gayle has recorded other albums, they have not been released.
As an actress, Gayle is best known for her work on television, in particular playing Hattie Tavernier in BBC's EastEnders from 1990–1993. She has also had various roles in film and theatre and played Belle in the West End musical Beauty and the Beast in 1999. She has taken part in several celebrity based reality television shows, and, in June 2007, she became a panellist for ITV's topical chatshow Loose Women.
Gayle branched into writing and the rights to her first novel were acquired by Walker Books in 2010. The book, Pride and Premiership, was published on 5 May 2011.
Michelle Gayle is the self-titled debut album by BritishR&B-soul singer Michelle Gayle, released in 1994 by RCA Records of BMG UK. The album includes the Top 10 single "Sweetness" along with four other UK Top 40 hit singles; "Looking Up", "I'll Find You", "Freedom" and "Happy Just to Be with You". The album was produced and co-written in parts by Narada Michael Walden who had previously worked with artists such as Whitney Houston.
Track listing
"Get Off My Back" (Ronnie Wilson, Dennis Charles, Michelle Gayle)
Sensational is the second album by BritishR&B-soul singer Michelle Gayle, released in 1997. It includes three singles which reached the UK Top 20; "Do You Know" (UK #6), "Sensational" (UK #14) and the remixed version of "Happy Just to Be with You" (UK #11) which had been released as a single in 1995. The original version of this song features on her debut album Michelle Gayle.
"Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)" is a pop song from singer Enrique Iglesias. It is the first single from his album Insomniac and takes the latter part of its English name from the sample of a ping pong ball bouncing that is employed as a percussion track throughout the song. The song's Spanish version is entitled "Dímelo" and was released to Latin radio, becoming Iglesia's 17th number one song on the US BillboardHot Latin Songs. In 2007 the song sold 3.1 million copies worldwide.
Lyrics and music
Iglesias himself generally refers to the song as simply "Do You Know?", as it was his record label's insistence to add on "The Ping Pong Song" in parentheses to make it more distinctive and marketable.
The instrumental backing tracks are based on sampled loops from the well-known production company Bunker 8 Digital Labs. These samples include all of the original tracks in "Otiga Verde" from the sample library. The opening piano, guitar chord riffs, and lead sound synthesizer which is heard throughout the song are directly lifted from the individual sample loops.
Do You Know is the sixth studio album by American singer Jessica Simpson. The album was released on September 9, 2008, in the United States by a joint-venture between Columbia Nashville and Epic Records. The album is her first effort in an attempt to cross over to country music. Songwriter Brett James produced the album along with John Shanks. The album debuted at #1 in the Billboard Country Charts and at #4 in the Billboard 200 with sales of 65,000.
Background
After the release of her 2006 pop album A Public Affair, Simpson stated she wanted to go back to her roots and do country music because she "has been brought up around country music", and wants to give something back. Simpson had already sung country themed songs previous like "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". She started her country move by appearing in the music video for "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore", by country legend Willie Nelson. She then went to Nashville to start recording her album.
