Taffy (born Katherine Quaye, 1963, New York[1]) was a 1980s Hi-NRG disco singer known for her Italo disco hit I Love My Radio. The song, produced by Claudio Cecchetto[1], who was also behind all her previous hits in Italy, was released in the United Kingdom by Rhythm King's Transglobal Records (both part of Mute Records in those days) was originally a hit in France in 1985 and was originally known as a record about a Disc Jockey broadcasting after midnight. However as very few radio stations in the United Kingdom broadcast after 12am in the late 1980s this reference in the record was changed, and so a re-recorded version called I Love My Radio (My Dee Jay's Radio) was put out instead. This is the version that reached #6 in the UK singles chart.
