“Remember Me” by Blue Boy

"Remember Me" carried Blue Boy, the alias of British DJ Alexis "Lex" Blackmore, a long way from home. It first surfaced on his 1996 EP Scattered Emotions, then returned in January 1997 as a single in its own right, remixes and all, with Jive's name on it. Blackmore built the whole thing around samples of the American singer Marlena Shaw, and she shares the writing credit with him, Richard Evans and Bobby Miller.

That hook travelled. By February 1997 it had climbed to 8 on the British singles chart, and it made number 2 on Billboard's dance club chart in the US, got to 13 on the Eurochart Hot 100, and went top 10 everywhere from Ireland and Spain to Israel, Iceland, Finland and Switzerland.
