Princess

Princess was an influential British funk and pop duo formed in the early 1980s, consisting of singer and songwriter Joyce Sims and producer and songwriter John "Jellybean" Benitez. They are best known for their catchy melodies and danceable beats, which combined elements of funk, pop, and disco. Notable works include their hit singles "Say I'm Your Number One" (1985) and "After the Love Has Gone" (1986), both of which received significant airplay and chart success in the UK and beyond. Their debut album, "Princess," released in 1986, showcased their distinctive sound and further solidified their place in the music scene of the era. Princess's impact on music is marked by their contribution to the 1980s pop and dance music landscape, influencing future artists within the genre. Their work is often credited with helping to bridge the gap between disco and the emerging electronic dance music of the late 1980s. While the duo may not have sustained commercial success in the long term, their tracks remain popular in retro playlists and continue to be celebrated in the dance music community.
