Taffy (singer)

Taffy (born Katherine Quaye, 1963, New York [http://avanguard.splinder.com/archive/2007-05 STRACULT, il Blog di Avanguard ] ] ) was a 1980s Hi-NRG disco singer, known for her Italo disco hit, "I Love My Radio".

The song, produced by Claudio Cecchetto, who was also behind all her previous hits in Italy, was released in the United Kingdom by Rhythm King's Transglobal Records (both part of Mute Records in those days) and was originally a hit in France in 1985. The song's sentiments were about a disc jockey broadcasting in th early hours. However as very few radio stations in the United Kingdom broadcast after midnight in the late 1980s this reference in the record was changed. A re-recorded version called "I Love My Radio (My Dee Jay's Radio)" was released instead. This is the version that reached #6 in the UK Singles Chart.cite book
