Barry Blue Biography

Barry Blue (born Barry Ian Green, 4 December 1950, London) is a singer / producer / songwriter from the United Kingdom. He is best known for his hit songs, "Dancin' (on a Saturday Night)" (1973), which he co-wrote with Lynsey de Paul, and "Do You Wanna Dance" (1973).

He signed to Bell Records in the early 1970s and had five hit singles, including "School Love" (1974). His final Top 40 hit in the UK Singles Chart occurred in October 1974, when "Hot Shot", another song co-penned with de Paul climbed to No.23.

By the end of the decade his popularity had declined.

In 1989, under the banner of Cry Sisco!, Blue enjoyed another minor UK hit with a song called "Afro Dizzi Act", which reached No.42 on the UK Singles Chart. A compilation album, Greatest Hits was released on Repertoire Records in 2002.

Blue continued to work in the music industry as a record producer for other artists, including Heatwave, Bananarama, Toto Coelo and Cheryl Lynn.

Blue has also been a prolific songwriter for other acts. Among his hit compositions are: "Kiss Me Kiss Your Baby" for Brotherhood of Man (a European million seller) (1975) "I Eat Cannibals Part 1" for Toto Coelo (1982) "All Fall Down" for Five Star (1985) and "Escaping" for Dina Carroll (1996).

He has written album tracks for many more artists as well.
