about
Snap! is a German eurodance, hip-hop, and pop music project formed in 1989 by Frankfurt-based producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti. The group experienced several line-up changes over the years and achieved its greatest commercial success when fronted by American rapper Turbo B. Snap! is best known for the UK number-one singles "The Power" and "Rhythm Is a Dancer". Münzing and Anzilotti adopted the aliases Benito Benites and John "Virgo" Garrett III when founding Snap!, aiming to distance themselves from prevailing stereotypes about German music. Their debut single "The Power" combined house and hip-hop elements and used multiple samples, including a drum loop from "King of the Beats" by Mantronix, rap lyrics from "Let the Words Flow" by Chill Rob G, and the vocal line "I've got the power" from Jocelyn Brown's "Love's Gonna Get You". Legal concerns led to a re-recorded version featuring Turbo B on rap vocals and Penny Ford on additional vocals, although Brown's voice remained on the final track. "The Power" reached number 2 in Germany, spent two weeks at number 1 in the United Kingdom, and climbed to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It was certified platinum in several countries. Following the departure of Jackie Harris, Penny Ford became the full-time lead singer. The group released "Ooops Up", a reworking of "I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!)" by The Gap Band. The track charted at number 2 in Germany and number 5 in the UK.
