Another chart topper visited the Phoenix FM studios last week when Baby D popped in to chat on Karin Ridgers’ House Of Fun show.
Baby D, whose real name is Dee Fearon, is best known for the 1994 No 1 single “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” and also had two more top 3 singles with “I Need Your Loving” and “So Pure”.
She came down with her husband Phil Fearon, who had a number of top ten hits himself in the 1980s as singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist for soul band Galaxy.
Dee and Phil came down with their daughter Danielle and chatted about their careers and also picked music to play on the show, which can be heard again on our website at phoenixfm.com.
