SOUL SYSTEM

The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. was a team composed of the producers Robert Clivilles and David Cole (better known under the name of C + C Music Factory), vocalists Michelle Visage (Michelle Shupack), Octavia Lambertis, Gary Michael Wade, and Jamal Alicea. The team was best known for the 1978 Bill Withers song, "Lovely Day" and was featured in the 1992 movie "The Bodyguard." With several house remixes, it reached #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and peaked at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1993.

What happened next?
Clivilles and Cole's career is well documented. Michelle Visage is best known these days for being a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race and its spin-off series (including the UK version). She also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 partnering Giovanni Pernice where she finished 7th. As a result, of connecting with Faye Tozer who danced with Giovanni the previous year, Visage and Steps recorded "Heartbreak in this city" in 2021.
