T-Spoon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
T-Spoon (or T Spoon) is a Dutch pop/dance band, created in 1991 by rapper and former U.S. Airforce member Shalamon Baskin (aka Shamrock) and composer Remy de Groot (aka Prince Peration). In 1994, they were offered a recording contract by A La Bianca and had several hits, working along side guest musicians..
In 1996, both singer Linda Estelle and dancer Anatevka Bos joined the group, which changed the bands direction into the then-popular happy hardcore-genre. In 1997, they became famous with the summer hit Sex on the beach, which made the charts in The Netherlands as well as Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.
In 1998, Shamrock left the group, and was replaced byGreg Dillard. With Dillard as the bands new rapper, the group had the 1999 hit Summer love. Anatevka left the group that same year to host a TV show on Netherlands station Fox 8 (now named Veronica).
In 2000, Greg Dillard was forced to leave the group for breach of contract. He claimed to be unable to be present at the bands concerts because of family issues. Estelle therefore became the new face of the group. Together with Des'Ray of 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor and Anita Doth of 2 Unlimited, she started her new group Divas of Dance-
In 2002, Shamrock rejoined T-Spoon, and the group has released a number of remixes that were not very successful.
In 2006, Fergie covered T-Spoon song "Delicious", taking it to the top ten in many countries.
