1995–1999 British dance/pop group
Dreamhouse were a British dance/pop group which consisted of members Paul Barry, David Riley, and Jules Tulley. They released their debut album, first in Asia in 1997 (titled Sha-La-La), and then in Europe and the U.S. in 1998 (self-titled as Dreamhouse). The group released four singles, including a cover version of the Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs song “Stay“, which made the UK charts.
History
David Riley, a native of Jamaica, was a collaborator on remixes with artists such as R. Kelly and Fu Schnickens.[1] Jules Tulley worked as a session musician and television presenter, while vocalist/songwriter Paul Barry had been active in the music industry since the late 1970s (he was in the band the Questions).[2] After the trio met in a London recording studio, they formed Dreamhouse and were signed to Trauma Records.[1] Their self-titled debut album mixed dance-oriented covers of 1960s pop songs with original compositions rooted in reggae.[3] The group’s rendition of “Stay“, the 1960 number-one song by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, was released as a UK single in 1995 and reached number 62 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] Three years later, “Stay” was released in the US as the album’s lead single.[2][3]
The Asian release of their album slightly differs from the Europe/US version, as it contains more tracks. Included is the song “Sha La La” (originally by the Walkers) plus two mixes of the song; a mix of “Let’s Live for Today” (originally by the Rokes), and the two extra tracks “Walk Like a Man” (originally by the Four Seasons) and “Lightnin’ Bar Blues” (originally by Hoyt Axton).
After Dreamhouse, Barry continued his highly successful songwriting career, co-writing hit songs such as “Believe” by Cher, “Hero” and “Bailamos” by Enrique Iglesias and “Let It Go” by James Bay. Tulley joined the Eurodance country group Rednex.
