A disco flop first released by Leo Sayer in 1977, updated by DJ Meck, looks all set to be a success after getting the stamp of approval from more than one high profile radio type. The song 'Thunder In My Heart' is to be released in Feb as 'Thunder In My Heart Again', backed by a lovely new techno beat, and has already been championed by the likes of Pete Tong and Jo Whiley.
Earlier in the month, Meck told the Independent: "I really wanted to use some of the record and beef it up and bring it up to date and see where it went. I would never have known it was a Leo Sayer record. You probably think of two or three records he did that people unfortunately think of as being a bit naff or not cool. This is so not that Leo Sayer."
At that stage, Sayer was missing, presumed unaware of the impending success of his old track, but now, according to reports, he's been found and has something to say about it: "They put some beats on it - it sounds bloody good," Sayer told reporters, "it's as alive now as it was then."
