The band's main line-up consisted not only of a young Wheeler, but also a young Cleveland Watkiss - as well as the late Claudia Fontaine (who would go on to pair with Caron as Afrodiziak) \u0026amp; Roy Hamilton - with guitar, arrangement and production provided by Weekes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the group was short-lived - recording only this 12\" alongside a couple of singles for Leonard \"Santic\" Chin's Sanity label (a stellar cover of the Mary Jane Girl's classic All Night Long) and Alan's later Bpop label (the down-tempo groover Lost in Paradise, co-arranged alongside Watkiss) - there is no denying the talent on display here, as the years and decades that followed can surely attest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freestyle Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41619566461084,"sku":"FSR116","price":14.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_7158e000-6c51-4c48-8d64-148becc3ec87.jpg?v=1651652410","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/la-famille-caron-wheeler-dancer","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
