Brenda & The Big Dudes – Touch Somebody | Vinyl LP | VG+

A strong mid-1980s South African pop-disco release from Brenda & The Big Dudes, the group fronted by the legendary Brenda Fassie before her solo superstardom. Touch Somebody captures the upbeat township-pop and synth-driven dance sound that defined much of the local chart music of the era.

The title track “Touch Somebody” became one of the recognisable dancefloor singles associated with the early Brenda & The Big Dudes period. The record blends pop hooks, bubblegum-disco rhythms and bright synthesizers typical of South African club and radio music in the mid-1980s.

This Family / CCP Records pressing is a classic local issue and an important part of Brenda Fassie’s early discography. Records from this period remain collectible among fans of South African pop, bubblegum, and early township dance music.
