Kim Wilde’s first records were written and produced by her father and brother, Marty and Ricky. The three of them have had a great influence on the music world, as this regular series ‘Wilde World’ shows.
The name Misty suggests the name of a middle-aged sultry female singer, but in fact it was a duo consisting of Mark Eden and Mickey Fudge. They recorded a couple of singles which were released in 1977. Their first release was ‘Jezamine’, a cover of the track originally recorded by the Casuals, and written, of course, by Marty Wilde. They followed it up with ‘Magic spell’, which was an original track written by Fudge.
Their version of ‘Jezamine’ was typical Seventies disco fodder, although you could also recognize it as a proto-Level 42 track. You can listen to the track here.
