La India, or simply India, is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter of salsa and house music. She has been nominated for both Grammy and Latin Grammy awards and won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album in the past, but it was this song that brought us queens to the dance floor each week, where we would dance and have some serious church to this ditty, I Can't Get No Sleep... which would always mix into her other classic, the tribal sounding, Love and Happiness. There'd be the stand and pose, the runways, and voguing...pre Madonna. I don't even think a floor was left at the end of the night. India was also very short, somewhere over 4', but don't let that fool you...she could belt out! Good times.....
You GOT that right MISS THING!!!! Classic house for REAL. If this doesn't make your body move, YOU HAVE NO SOUL.!!!! She had a VOICE.
ReplyDeleteIndia has a fiercely divine voice. This song had.... has a permanent place in my heart. It is timeless...takes me back to the big club days
ReplyDeleteMan, that was a great song....I remember it well. House music went to crap after the early 2000'3
ReplyDeleteShe has an amazing voice, but I hope you queens did get some sleep after all the frolicking and cavorting!

ReplyDeleteShe sure can belt it out. A spit fire.
ReplyDeleteWhen house music was the best!!! India's music would tear the floor up. And your right about Love and Happiness. We were done.
