O'Chi Brown
O'Chi Brown is an English singer and songwriter born in Tottenham, London, England. She scored two hits on the Dance Club Songs, the most successful being "Whenever You Need Somebody," which hit number one in 1986.[1] Despite strong demand, the song's further progress on the US charts was thwarted when stocks of the record ran out.[2]
