This has been bothering me for over about a year and a half now and I can't
take it anymore. Someone please help.

It sounds like someone else besides Nicola Bright-Thomas is singing
lead on Izit's "Don't Give Up Now." Bright-Thomas has a VERY distinctive
voice (which is sometimes a little annoying in being so distinctive) and
I just LOVE the vocalist or vocals on "Don't Give Up Now" compared to all
other IZIT songs.

I first heard the song on the Planet Earth Compilation, and ran out and
bought anything with IZIT on it expecting to hear the same vocals, and I get
Bright-Thomas' signature vocals on everything else, but this one song. I ended
up finding the Whole Affair Remix album. Of course, the credits weren't very
detailed so no answer to my being perplexed. And now after all this time, I
finally find the original Whole Affair album re-released through Countdown
records (and I still don't have the original release of the album; does it
have detailed credits?), and again, there are not very detailed credits.
They list Bright-Thomas as singing all the lead vocals.

Can anyone help? This really might seem minor, but it's been driving me up
the wall. I really don't think that's Bright Thomas, and I would love to
know who is really singing that song so maybe I can find some more of her
songs. Thanks in advance.

-Just do it!
