  • Livin' Joy is a house music group from Italy who released two successful dance hits in the 1990s. In 1994, fronted by the American lead singer Janice Robinson, they reached number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart with "Dreamer". The song turned out to be a mild sleeper hit on pop radio, finally entering the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1995. It peaked at number 72 and spent seventeen weeks on the chart. The song had a more successful run on the UK Singles Chart, hitting the number one spot after being re-issued (its original run in late 1994 had taken it to #18). In mid 1996, "Dreamer" re-entered the Hot 100, this time climbing to number 95. By then, Robinson had left the group and been replaced by Tameka Starr. With Starr on lead vocals, the follow-up single "Don't Stop Movin'" peaked at number five in the UK and was number one in Italy in 1996. It hit number three on the U.S. dance chart in early 1997 and became another modest, although long-lived, hit in the mainstream - climbing to number 67 on the Hot 100, spending twenty weeks on the chart. It was followed by one additional Top 10 single in the UK in 1996 ("Follow the Rules") and two Top 20 hits in 1997. In Australia, "Don't Stop Movin'" peaked at number 6 on the national ARIA singles chart. The parent album, also called Don't Stop Movin', grouped together the hits, including "Dreamer" with new vocals by Starr (although the original with Robinson singing was a hidden bonus track). Robinson subsequently re-released 2005 remixes of "Dreamer", credited as a solo release, which charted in the American dance charts. Plans for a widescale commercial release of "Just for the Sex of It" in 1999 were scrapped, due to lack of interest in the song. It only received a limited club run, but was released as a single in Australia and proved popular in the nightclubs. In 2008, recordings for the ill-fated follow-up were leaked online: "Love Yourself", "Lookin' Fine", "I Only Wanna Dance", "U R My Livin' Joy", "You Don't Love Me", and "Bump This".
  • Livin'Joy (talvolta citato anche come anche come Livin Joy o Living Joy) è il nome di un gruppo musicale facente parte del genere dance/Eurodance principalmente attivo negli anni 90. Il progetto Livin' Joy è nato in Italia, i produttori erano i fratelli Paolo e Gianni Visnadi; gli stessi sono anche stati autori di altri progetti dello stesso genere tra i quali si ricorda anche Alex Party. Il primo singolo dei Livin' Joy è stato Dreamer, cantato da Janice Robinson; tale singolo è stato un successo non solo di carattere nazionale in quanto ha aggiunto la prima posizione sia nella classifica UK sia in quella americana. Nonostante il grande successo del primo singolo, i produttori non riescono a trovare un accordo con la cantante Janice Robinson per la realizzazione di altri brani: la voce del progetto viene così affidata a Doris Diggs, conosciuta anche come Tameka Starr. Le sonorità di Dreamer porteranno alla realizzazione del secondo singolo di grande successo dei Livin' Joy nel 1996, intitolato Don't Stop Movin', tratto dall'album omonimo Don't Stop Movin', pubblicato pochi mesi dopo il singolo. Don't Stop Movin' ha raggiunto la posizione #8 sia in Italia sia in Svezia, ma ha ottenuto risultati migliori in Finlandia ed in Australia, ottenendo rispettivamente la settima e la sesta posizione. Sempre nel 1996 i Livin' Joy ottengono grande successo con Follow the Rules. Il singolo ottenne un buon piazzamento nella classifica inglese anche se non raggiungerà mai il primo posto.
