The group had three members, Steve Nichol , Jane Eugene and Carl McIntosh. They were signed to Virgin Records and released&nbsp;their debut album, “Little Spice,” in 1984. Their breakthrough hit,&nbsp;“Hanging on a String,” topped the US Billboard R&amp;B chart, and they toured extensively in America. Tensions led to the departure of Jane and&nbsp;Steve, but the group continued with new members. Loose Ends’ distinctive&nbsp;sound blended soul, funk, pop, and electronic elements, influencing&nbsp;artists across genres.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Producer: Sumit Sharma (<a href=\"https://www.sumitsharma.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.sumitsharma.co.uk/</a>)</p>","author_name":"Sumit Sharma"}
