Oct 31 2025:: #ElectricBritish Electric Foundation - “Ball of Confusion” feat. Tina Turner, 1982
...or, How a Couple of Noodly English Synth Boys Helped a Struggling Rock and Roll Powerhouse Come Back Better than Ever Before
British Electric Foundation (B.E.F.) was a band/production company formed by former Human League members Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. In 1982 they crafted “Music Of Quality And Distinction (Volume One),” an album featuring a variety of vocalists, including some of their favorites from prior generations, covering classic songs from the 60s and 70s, backed with their own synth stylings.
They invited Tina Turner, struggling at the time to establish herself independent of ex-husband Ike, to cover The Temptations’ “Ball of Confusion.” The track became a hit in Norway and only Norway, oddly enough, but that was enough to get the attention of Capitol Records, who promptly signed her.
Ware and Marsh’s subsequent recording of Tina covering of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” became a hit across the globe and was the starting point for Tina’s comeback album Private Dancer. The rest, as they say, is history.

Guess I’m gonna need another autograph from him 😜

The social class and wealth disparity between the 80's British synth pop acts and their European idols from a decade earlier has always astonished me. Good to see Martyn Ware make it explicit.
