- "Weekend Special" is the debut single by the South African recording group Brenda and the Big Dudes taken from their debut studio album Weekend Special (1983). It was written by Melvyn Matthews, as was the B-side "Life Is Going On". "Weekend Special" features production by Blondie Makhene (one half of the 1970s duo Blondie & Pappa) and Matthews. The song was released by EMI Records as a maxi single titled "Weekend Special", in February 1983. The single was successful commercially and became one of Brenda's signature songs. "Weekend Special" had an extended life in cover versions and remixes, including one by New York producer Van Gibbs in 1986 that spent eight weeks on Billboard magazine's Hot Black Singles chart. The song's international success led to Fassie touring the United States, Europe, Australia, and Brazil. As a full album, Weekend Special continues to sell well as a collector's item. (en)
