RealMusic Blog remembers the heady days of Garage glory, when a young Craig David teamed up with Artful Dodger and dropped a track that sent everyone crazy. Back then, we used to spend our days busting the two-step with a pout to rival Posh Spice and the smooth voice of Craig David singing ‘Re-re-wind’ blasting out of our sub-woofer speakers.
