49ers were an Italian house and Eurodance act featuring producers and DJs Gianfranco Bortolotti, Luca Cittadini, Diego Leoni and Pieradis Rossini with vocalist Ann-Marie Smith. They were named after the San Francisco American Football Team. (Also not to be confused with the US hip-hop outfit of the same name)
They are best known "Touch me" and "Don't you love me", which both spent 2 weeks at #1 on US Billboard Dance chart. "Touch me" heavily sampled Alisha Warren's "Touch me" and actually released in UK (Europe) in December 1989 where it peaked at #3 but was in the top 40 for a while at the start of 1990. It also spent 5 weeks at #1 on top of the Canada Dance chart in April 1990.
