Touch and Go is a jazz-pop ensemble from the United Kingdom. Their most notable singles include "Would You...?", "Straight... to Number One", and "Tango in Harlem".
In October 1998, "Would you...?", a track marked by its distinctive sampling of a woman's voice saying "I've noticed you around / I find you very attractive / Would you go to bed with me?", reached the #3 spot on the UK pop music chart. It became a hit in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe where the ensemble toured extensively. "Would You...?" has been included on such television show soundtracks as the American G String Divas and the cult British series As If. The track has also been sampled for San Pellegrino, Carlsberg, and Nokia advertisements.[1] The lyrics – with almost identical wording – were originally used as part of a psychological study conducted in 1978.[2]
"Straight... to Number One" was also featured in some advertisements, including one for Apple Computer's iTunes. The song was also featured in the first season of the American version of Queer As Folk.
As of 2007, the ensemble is still touring Eastern Europe and performing their popular tracks from the mid 1990s.[3]
Producer David Lowe is the composer of all BBC News music since 1998.
