"Fantasy" is a single by Earth, Wind & Fire from their album All 'N All, released as a single in 1978. The selection was written and composed by Maurice White, Verdine White, and Eddie del Barrio, and it reached #32 on the pop chart and #12 on the R&B singles chart in the United States, and #14 on the UK singles chart. "Fantasy" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Song.

Black Box remade the song for their debut studio album Dreamland in 1990. Their version featured Martha Wash on lead vocals, but their music producers initially failed to credit her. Black Box's version of the song charted at #5 in the UK, #16 in Germany, and #3 in Australia.

Black Box was an Italian house music group popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The members of the group included a trio made up of a club DJ (Daniele Davoli), a classically trained clarinet teacher (Valerio Semplici), and a keyboard and electronic music "wiz" (Mirko Limoni). The three created an image for the Black Box act using French Carribbean fashion model Katrin Quinol (b. Catherine Quinol) as its album/singles cover art and supposed lead singer in all of the group's music videos.

By early 1990, Martha Wash was engaged to perform vocals on a number of tracks which, Wash was apparently told, were for club consumption and were not for mass-release. One would be "Everybody Everybody", which would become one of their two top-ten hits in North America. The album Dreamland was released in May 1990. Katrin did not contribute musically to any of the tracks on the album, she was considered the group's "image".

Katrin Quinol lip-synched the vocals in "live" performances and in the music videos for Black Box. Martha Wash sued Black Box, RCA Records and then C+C Music Factory for performing vocals on their respective songs and not receiving due credit. These legal actions led to the legal recognition of vocalists who perform songs for other artists, including samplings. Wash received full vocal credit upon the single release of "Strike It Up", but the music video still featured Katrin Quinol lip-synching the lyrics.

Cada hombre tiene un lugarEn su corazón hay un espacioY el mundo no puede borrar sus fantasíasTome un paseo en el cieloTodos nuestros barcos fantasearTodos tus sueños se harán realidad inmediatoY juntos,Hasta las doce de nuncaNuestras voces se anillo para siempre, como uno.Vienen a ver, la victoria,En una tierra llamada fantasíaAmante de la vida para usted y para mí,Para la vista, para que su éxtasisUsted encontrará, de otro tipo,Que ha estado en la búsqueda de usted,Muchas vidas, ha llevado a que,Reconocer es su vida ahora en revisión.Cada pensamiento es un sueño,Corriendo por en una corrienteTraer a la vida a su reino de hacerTome un paseo en el cieloTodos nuestros barcos fantasearTodos tus sueños se harán realidad inmediatoNuestras voces se ring juntosHasta las doce de nuncaTodos nosotros, vivirá para siempre, como uno.Vienen a ver, la victoria,En una tierra de fantasíaAmante de la vida de un nuevo decreto,Traer a su mente a la eterna libertadComo usted estancia, para el juegoLa fantasía, tiene en el almacén para usted,La luz resplandeciente se puede ver a través,Es su día, brilla el día, todos sus sueños se hagan realidad...Como se desliza, en su pasoCon el viento, como volar lejosDar una sonrisa de tus labios, y decirSoy libre, sí, yo soy libre, ahora estoy en mi camino
