Along with Fiachra Trench, his songwriting partner, Ian Levine helped develop the Hi-NRG dance sound courtesy of hits such as "High Energy" by Evelyn Thomas, "So Many Men, So Little Time" by Miquel Brown, and "(I Can't Believe It) It's a Miracle" by Moonstone. Levine, born in Blackpool, worked as a producer and songwriter as early as the '60s (he also wrote "Black Pearl" by Checkmates Ltd.). By the 1970s, he began recruiting American soul singers like Evelyn Thomas and Hazell Dean to storm Britain's charts (and occasionally, America's). ~ John Bush, Rovi
