Published 2013-05-24
Blue Boy is a pseudonym for the Scottish DJ, Alexis 'Lex' Blackmore.
The single Remember Me peaked at #8 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1997. The single also went to number two on the American dance chart.
The track is built around two samples from the 1973 live version of "Woman of the Ghetto", a 1969 soul song by Marlena Shaw, originally recorded for her album The Spice of Life. Near the end is the line: "Remember me? I'm the one who had your babies", in reference to African-American maids raising white children for little pay.

This song has been living rent free in my head almost 30 years. And I’m fine with that.

This track was played liberally by the DJs in so many underground deep house clubs in LA in the late 90s. Such good times!!! 🎶❤️

I got tired of all these rappers from today. This is real music for the soul and now I am sitting here, waiking up to Blue Boy

Pure gold. Those of us who were in our teens or 20s in the 1990s, we had the best music without doubt. We are a unique generation. This is in the top with beats international dub be good to me. Love the 1990s.

Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don't let it make you cry For ever if I'm far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song to you Each night we are apart Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I’m with you The only way that I can be Until you’re in my arms again Remember me

I’ve been trying to find this song for 10+ years! Couldn’t remember the lyrics, just been singing the “ging-ging” bit to shazam, friends, family. No app or person had a Scooby what I was on about and it was so frustrating until today. Best feeling finding a song you’ve been looking for for YEARS 😭

The other day I was on my way home and a girl behind me was playing this song on her phone and really, really feeling it. She almost started to dance in the middle of the street. It made me so happy. I had never listened to this song before, and forgot about it until today, that YouTube recommended it to me. I wish I was more mystical so I could talk about the universe sending me signs through music and stuff, but honestly, all that came to mind was google spying me through my phone. I hate this dystopian era. I really enjoyed the song, though.

When you stumble upon a song that you haven’t heard in 25 years, and it brings you back to that moment in time that you forgot and reminisce fondly.
