The formation of the band that preformed this cover of 'Melting Pot' is one of those lovely serendipitous stories. 5 artists, all successful performers in their own right, preform an impromptu item together at the NZ Music Awards in 1986, a representative of CBS is so impressed they are given a contract to form a band. That band was, 'When The Cat's Away' and it was the original girl band, formed five years before spice girls. They had several hit songs and successful albums.
Was fun to watch the video of their performance, sooooo 80's!! I used to think that 'big hair, big sleeve' look was soooo wonderful - and the T-shirt with jacket look, totally Don Johnson from Miami Blues. LOL Too funny!!!
