The Source was originally an alias for the songwriting team of Anthony B. Stephens, Arnecia Michelle Harris and John Bellamy, who wrote the 1986 single release "You Got the Love", which featured Candi Staton on vocals. This was released on Source Records.〔http://www.discogs.com/artist/548143-Source-The-7〕 In 1989, DJ Eren, a club DJ in London, UK, put Candi Staton's vocals over an early House track by Jamie Principle called "Your Love", which became a club hit. This version was also released in 1989 by British producer/DJ John Truelove as ''The Source'', on a vinyl bootleg EP known as "Love/Rock".〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnwFepoE3l8〕〔http://www.discogs.com/Source-Love-Rock/release/425964〕 John Truelove then adopted the name ''The Source'' for himself and continued releasing records using the name.〔Leggett, Steve "(The Source Biography )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation〕 The mash-up of ''You Got The Love'', credited to The Source featuring Candi Staton charted in 1991 in an official release, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.〔John Truelove#Beginnings〕 In 1997 it was remixed and released again by Truelove, this time under the alias ''Now Voyager'', reaching one spot higher at number 3. Truelove signed with XL Recordings in 1997 and released a 12-inch EP called ''Clouds'', featuring four different mixes of the Chaka Kahn song "Clouds" sung by Kahn's sister, Yvonne Stevens, aka Taka Boom.〔 In 2006, "You Got the Love" was remixed and re-released yet again, reaching number 7.〔"(The Source feat. Candi Staton - You Got The Love )", inthemix〕 In 2009, Florence & The Machine released a version entitled "You've Got The Love" from the album "Lungs". Now Voyager began as a band started by Truelove in 1996. He recruited Louise De Fraine (vocals), Chris Harvey (guitar) and Larry Lush (programming, keyboards). Despite writing and showcasing an album of material, the band failed to secure a significant record deal. Now Voyager remains a side project for John Truelove. ==Context== Candi Staton was unaware of the record's existence until she was told that she had a number 1 single: "They were calling my house saying I had a number one record in England, and I said, 'What song? I haven't released any song.' When they told me it was "You Got the Love", I said I'd never made a record called that. Then I got off the phone and realised - it was the one from the diet video! Which was never supposed to be put on a record at all".〔Heawood, Sophie (2006) "('I was so drunk I fell on to the stage' )", ''The Guardian'', March 24, 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Source (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
