Barbara Tucker ‘Beautiful People’ | The Making Of A House Anthem

30 years on from its release on the iconic Strictly Rhythm, Barbara Tucker shares the story behind one of house music’s most loved vocal hits, ‘Beautiful People’.

Written by Tucker, alongside India and Lem Springsteen, the track was produced by Louie Vega and Kenny Dope. Vega used the vocal loop for his Hardrive project, culminating in ‘Deep Inside’ in ’93.

Here, Tucker explains how she came to meet “Little Louie” Vega in New York during the ‘80s, the inspiration behind the lyrics, and the whirlwind of filming Top Of The Pops performances and music videos.
