I never knew he was the original mc of this tune

[@DOTHERIGHTTHING1989]

He wasn't MC on the tune, band took his accappella to test how techno+rap demo track would do in clubs. By mistake promo version was sent to shops and almost entirely sold out. It was too late to recall it. This tune would have been hit with him or without him. As a matter of fact, there are at least 3 versions of "The Power" that became hit on the charts. 2 of them produced by Snap!, another one by Paul Hardcastle (The Deff Boyz Featuring Tony Mac - Swing). There's a couple of songs by various rap/R&B groups using this music or inspired by it.
