Blue Pearl

Blue Pearl are an English electronic music duo, consisting of American female singer Durga McBroom and British musician Youth (Martin Glover). They are best known for "Naked in the Rain", which was a #4 hit in the UK and a #5 dance hit in the US in 1990. It was followed by "(Can You) Feel the Passion" (whose melody samples Bizarre Inc's "Playing with Knives"), which hit the top spot on both Billboard's Dance Club Play and the UK Dance Chart in 1992. Their records featured guest appearances from David Gilmour and Richard Wright of Pink Floyd, for whom McBroom had been a backing vocalist.
