Has anyone ever heard of a girl group called "Coffee"? I bought their CD at an outlet store. It's from the early 80's, I think? I thought I had read somewhere once that these might be members of a 60's girl group? Hmmm. Can anyone help?

Coffee did two LP's on the De-Lite label...
One called Slippin & Dippin and I can't remember the title of the other but there was a great dance song called 'Casanova' (not the Levert song which was issued much later) They were in action in the very early 80's...

The version of "Casanova" that Coffee covered was the Ruby Andrews song.

Ooooh nice trivia Motownforever... I had no idea!!!
And I will go and check my Ruby Andrews LPs at once, although I hope it's not on the only album I am missing!!!! ("Black Ruby" on Zodiac from 1972.... if anyone has a spare copy in good condition just name the price! LOL)

Loleatta Holloway also did a nice cover version of "Casanova". Holloway's version appeared on her 1975 Aware LP, "Cry To Me."
