Show Notes
THE ONLY WAY IS YAZZ
In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we celebrate the extraordinary career of Yazz, from her breakthrough with Doctorin’ The House and the global smash The Only Way Is Up to her evolution through soul, and reggae. We explore how a former model and England volleyball player became one of the defining voices of the late-’80s house music explosion, helping bring dance music into the mainstream. Along the way, we uncover the fascinating story behind her biggest hit, a reimagining of an overlooked 1980 soul recording by Otis Clay that went on to eclipse the original in the public consciousness. Plus, we revisit the hit-filled years, the lost albums, and the remarkable personal journey that made Yazz one of pop music’s most compelling and enduring figures.
