Both [[song]]s were [[record producer|produced]] by the duo [[Deep Dish]]. [[Stonebridge (DJ)]] [[remix]]es of "Make The World Go Round" were also released. In an unusual reversal of the conventional music industry success story, Sandy B had her #1 hits after leaving a major [[record label]] for an indie label. Though her two [[chart topper]]s were released on [[Champion Records]], her debut #1 [[single (music)|single]] "Feel Like Singin" had been released in 1993 on [Nervous Records]. She also released a single "Back Together" in 1994 on King Street Sounds. After "Make The World Go Round" hit #1, Nervous included the [[David Morales]] remix of "Feel Like Singin" on the dance [[compilation album]], ''100% Pure Dance''. In 1998 Sandy had an on-screen appearance in the [[film|movie]] ''[[Donnie Brasco]]'', starring [[Al Pacino]] and [[Johnny Depp]]. In 2000 and 2001 she had hits with singles released by the group Karmadelic, on which she performed the lead vocals. "Check It Out" reached #2 on the [[Hot Dance Music/Club Play]], and "Nothingness" peaked at #10 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Both songs secured moderate Rhythmic/Dance format airplay. In 2003, she released a solo record "Lose Our Love" via the Junior Vasquez Music label, and it also saw the release of "Love Burns", written by Janice Robinson and produced by Stonebridge. ==Recent times== In 2004, she contributed vocals to the song "Medicine" which was credited to DJ Mike Cruz Presents China Ro & Sandy B, on [[Nervous Records]], featuring remixes by Dezrok. The same year, she also released "The Beat Is Inside You", credited to DJ Exacta & Sandy B. Sandy B is currently seeking a new label home and working on new material. In 2005 Sandy co-wrote a song "Risen" with Janice Robinson, which went platinum in [[Belgium]] for the [[pop music|pop]] [[musician|artist]], Natalia.
