UK Number 40s: Q-Tee - Gimme That Body (1996)

 


I have a very clear memory of tuning in to the Top 40 countdown on a Sunday afternoon in 1996 and this being number 40. I don't specifically remember it getting no further than that. For many though the question is probably who is Q-Tee and what is this record?

Q-Tee is a female rapper from London and this was her only official Top 40 hit. She did however unofficially have a number 39 in 1991. The St Etienne debut single "Only Love Will Break Your Heart" was a double a-side with "Filthy" where she was the uncredited vocalist.

In the time that has passed in-between, she had been a writer on the 1995 Eurovision entry "Love City Groove" by Love City Groove.

Following this record she wasn't quite finished yet as she provided vocals on the Mark Morrison hit "Horny" later on in the year.
