British jazz-pop combo Swing Out Sister came out of Manchester in the late 80s.
They began life as a trio of Andy Connell, Martin Jackson (formerly of A Certain Ratio and Magazine) and former fashion designer Corinne Drewery.
Jackson left the group after the first album, which produced the Top Ten single Breakout.
You On My Mind (1989) should have been a much bigger hit, and 1994’s cover of La La (Means I Love You) was a bit of a last gasp as far as the UK charts went.
