In 1990, The Beats International collective formed in the late 1980s by Norman Cook (later in his career known as Fatboy Slim), after his departure from the Housemartins. After their number-one single "Just Be Good to Me" they followed up with a re-recorded version of "Won't Talk About It", which replaced Billy Bragg's vocal with that of Lindy Layton and Lester Noel.
"Caravan of Love" is a 1985 R&B hit originally recorded by Isley-Jasper-Isley, the second half of the Isley Brothers' 3 + 3 lineup of the 1970s. British indie band the Housemartins released "Caravan of Love" in November 1986. The a cappella song was a success, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart on 16 December 1986 (only the second a cappella recording to do so, after "Only You" by the Flying Pickets in 1983).
