Massivo was a short-lived electronic music group who had a top 30 hit single in the UK in 1990.
History
[edit]The group was made up of Steve McCutcheon, Jon Jules,[1] and Darren Pearce[2] with Tracy Ackerman - who had worked with McCutcheon's father Les in Shakatak and This Year's Blonde[3] - on lead vocals and being given a specific credit.
The group's only hit single was a cover of the Minnie Riperton hit "Lovin' You", which peaked at no. 25 in the UK singles charts in June 1990, and spent nearly three months in the top 75.[4] The group performed the song on Top of the Pops the week before it peaked.[5] The song "bubbled under" in Australia, only reaching no. 151.[6]
Massivo released at least two other singles ("Kingdom of Love" with Jackie Rawe and "Take My Hand") but never made the charts again.
