SNAP!

Last updated: 1 day ago

This German electronic dance music production duo (Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti), who were fronted by a rotating cast of singers and rappers, had a huge international smash in 1990 with "The Power." London-based rapper <a href="spotify:artist:2GbS7sJVGrAU8640vs2RBX">Turbo B.</a> and his cousin Jackie Harris teamed up to vocalize on "The Power," with Harris' curdling vocal elevating <a href="spotify:artist:2GbS7sJVGrAU8640vs2RBX">Turbo B.</a>'s pedestrian rap. But by the time things got rolling, Harris was already gone, replaced by <a href="spotify:artist:1iFQherWGoVvyU6CuILKKb">Penny Ford</a>, a former <a href="spotify:artist:4TwHRCIu3Xg9fjS3l7owkp">Gap Band</a> background vocalist. <a href="spotify:artist:2GbS7sJVGrAU8640vs2RBX">Turbo B.</a> himself was gone by 1992, shortly after Snap!'s second <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Arista%22">Arista</a> LP, The Madman's Return, hit the streets. He was replaced by Nikki Harris, a former <a href="spotify:artist:6tbjWDEIzxoDsBA1FuhfPW">Madonna</a> background vocalist. Snap! had a second big hit in 1992 with the number five pop single "Rhythm Is a Dancer." A trance-influenced third album, Welcome to Tomorrow, appeared in 1994. The group disbanded in 1996, as a compilation titled Snap! Attack was released. However, they returned in 2000 with the <a href="spotify:artist:2GbS7sJVGrAU8640vs2RBX">Turbo B.</a>-led single "Gimme a Thrill," and continued performing and sporadically releasing singles and updates of past hits. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
