"(Can You) Feel the Passion" is a song recorded, written, and produced by American/British group Blue Pearl. Released in 1991, by Big Life/SBK Records the single is to date the act's second best known song after "Naked in the Rain". "(Can You) Feel the Passion" had better success in the United States, hitting No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and the Music Week UK Dance Singles chart in 1992, while reaching No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background

[edit]

The single is done in a spoken word type manner by lead singer Durga McBroom, while the hook, riffs, and chorus melody written by Durga was augmented by Youth on the keyboards, and samples from Bizarre Inc's "Playing with Knives". Ironically, club DJs have used both "(Can You) Feel the Passion" and "Playing With Knives" in their bootleg mashups due to the former providing the lyrics and the latter's piano-heavy house feel.
