Two Man Sound was a Belgian pop trio of the 1970s. Their style combined the disco music typical of the era with samba and bossa nova[citation needed]. Their signature hits were their version of "Charlie Brown" released in 1975, which was a success in Belgium and Italy, and a Latin medley of Brazilian pop songs called "Disco Samba", released in 1977. The latter became a huge European hit in the early 1980s, with repeated hit-listings in Euro Charts from 1983 through 1986. Other songs were "Capital Tropical", released in 1977, which peaked at no. 11 on the US Dance Chart,[1] and "Que Tal America", a samba hit released in 1979, which became an "underground disco anthem" in North America.[2]
Other projects
[edit]Band members Lacomblez and Deprijck were also record producers and songwriters who penned the international 1977 hit "Ça plane pour moi" for fellow Belgian artist Plastic Bertrand.[3] Deprijck, who was also producer on "Ça plane pour moi", appeared under numerous other pseudonyms during his career; finding fame in several European countries for his work with "Lou and the Hollywood Bananas"[4] who produced the minor 1978 ska hit, "Kingston, Kingston".[5] Two Man Sound's 1979 track "Que Tal America" was a minor hit (no. 46) in the UK Singles Chart.[6]
