Formed in 1985 in London's Ealing suburb by "rare groove" enthusiasts Simon Bartholomew, Jan Kincaid, and Andrew Levy, the Brand New Heavies carried on the tradition, flying the flag for old-school funk at a time when the R&B world was completely dominated by rap music. The band released their first record in 1990 on England's Acid Jazz label, then re-recorded many of that album's songs with new lead singer N'dea Davenport for their 1991 US debut. Hugely popular in their own country, Brand New Heavies actually managed to land four songs in the US R&B Top 50 -- their biggest hit, 1991's "Never Stop," peaked at #3. Davenport went solo in the mid-'90s, and was replaced by Siedah Garrett. In 2000, Davenport and the BNH reunited to record a new track for the band's 1991-2000 Trunk Funk Classic compilation.     Brand New Heavies Saturday Nite (Remix) feat. Mos Def LiquidAudio R&B Soul-loving Brits attempt to come up with a weekend funk anthem. I say, chaps, shall we endeavor to boogie?
