Blue Pearl was a techno and house music duo, consisting of American female singer Durga McBroom and British musician Youth (Martin Glover). They charted two songs on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.
"Naked In The Rain" was a #4 hit in the UK Singles Chart and a #5 dance hit in the US in 1990, which was originally issued on blue vinyl. It was followed by "(Can You) Feel the Passion" (their response to Bizarre Inc's "Playing With Knives"), which hit #1 on the UK Dance Chart in 1992, reaching #14 on the UK Singles Chart. They also had a minor hit in the UK Singles Chart in November 1990 with the #31 hit, "Little Brother".
Their records featured guest appearances from David Gilmour and Richard Wright of Pink Floyd, for whom McBroom had been a backing vocalist.
Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or pearl:
“The blue we bathe in is the blue we breathe. The blue we breathe, I fear, is what we want from life and only find in fiction. For the voyeur, fiction is what’s called going all the way.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“Then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Judean threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
