1994 - Netherlands
T-Spoon is a Dutch eurodance group. They were founded in 1991 by composer Remy de Groot (aka Prince Peration) and were offered a recording contract by No More Music.
In 1994 the American Jazz/Blues vocalist Jean Shy was the featured singer for the Dutch formation.
In 1996, singer Linda Estelle joined the group, which changed the bands direction into the then-popular happy hardcore-genre. In 1997, they became famous with the summer hit Sex on the Beach, which made the charts in The Netherlands as well as Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, The Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The song was first released in Ireland following its success in Europe. Here it became one of the biggest hits of the year and peaked at number 2 in the Irish charts.. Such was the success in the Republic of Ireland that the song was released in the United Kingdom at the end of the summer and replicated the success in Ireland also reaching number 2 in the UK charts. It is also frequently mistaken to be created by Vengaboys.
In 1998, Shamrock left the group, and was replaced by Greg Dillard. With Dillard as the bands new rapper, the group had the 1999 hit Summerlove. In 2000, Greg Dillard left, and Estelle therefore became the new face of the group. In 2002, Shamrock rejoined T-Spoon, and the group has released a number of remixes that were not very successful.
