Music career [link]

She is primarily known for two of her solo records which reached #1 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play chart, "Make the World Go Round" and "Ain't No Need To Hide" in 1996 and 1997, respectively.[1] Both songs were produced by the duo Deep Dish. Stonebridge (DJ) remixes of "Make The World Go Round" were also released.

In an unusual reversal of the conventional music industry success story, Sandy B had her #1 hits after leaving a major record label for an indie label. Though her two chart toppers were released on Champion Records, her debut #1 single "Feel Like Singin" had been released in 1992 on [Nervous Records]. She also released a single "Back Together" in 1994 on King Street Sounds.

After "Make The World Go Round" hit #1, Nervous included the David Morales remix of "Feel Like Singin" on the dance compilation album, 100% Pure Dance.

In 1998 Sandy had an on-screen appearance in the movie Donnie Brasco, starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp.

In 2000 and 2001 she had hits with singles released by the group Karmadelic, on which she performed the lead vocals. "Check It Out" reached #2 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play, and "Nothingness" peaked at #10 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Both songs secured moderate Rhythmic/Dance format airplay.

In 2003, she released a solo record "Lose Our Love" via the Junior Vasquez Music label, and it also saw the release of "Love Burns", written by Janice Robinson and produced by Stonebridge.

In 2004, she contributed vocals to the song "Medicine" which was credited to DJ Mike Cruz Presents China Ro & Sandy B, on Nervous Records, featuring remixes by Dezrok. The same year, she also released "The Beat Is Inside You", credited to DJ Exacta & Sandy B. Sandy B is currently seeking a new label home and working on new material.

In 2005 Sandy co-wrote a song "Risen" with Janice Robinson, which went platinum in Belgium for the pop artist, Natalia. In 2006 you could hear her "Being True To Her Groove" in the Disney animation Kronk's New Groove.

Currently ( 2009 ) Sandy is currently in the studio working on new material, and is in the process of touring the UK and Europe. Sandy's "Make the world go Round" is currently making a huge resurgence in Europe.

    Better Off Alone

    by: Judes

    She’ll never give her heart to anyone
    I never had a chance and now it’s done
    Oh no, should I let it go
    Or will we be
    Two pieces put together
    No longer on our own
    Who says we’re better off alone
    I’m longing for a chance to talk to you
    But it won’t work that way in our school
    Oh no, should I let it go
    Or will we be
    Two pieces put together
    No longer on our own
