Louchie Lou and Michie One

Louchie Lou & Michie One (Louise Gold and Michelle Charles) were a female ragga/soul duo from London, who met in 1991 at a Rebel MC gig. Their debut single was "Rich Girl". They made their musical debut in the UK Singles Chart in 1993 with their number 7 hit, "Shout". It was a mash-up of the 1964 Lulu hit, originally recorded by The Isley Brothers, with the Henry Mancini composition, the "Peter Gunn theme" as performed by The Art of Noise and Duane Eddy from 1986. For their 1994 album debut, they collaborated with Sly and Robbie, and Quincy Jones' son QDIII. 'I'II Be Free was released in October 1995 and contained the singles "Rich Girl" and "Champagne & Wine". International tours in Japan and the Far East along with a headline engagement at Japansplash festival brought visibility to Asian audiences.
