JIMI POLO - Better Games

In 1989 Chicago singer and producer Jimi Polo (born James Perri) released his debut single on the UK's Urban label - Free Yourself on the A-side, and Better Days on the B-side. I 1986 and 1987, Polo had released a few early Chicago house records as half of duo Libra Libra. In 1989, the same year of his solo debut, Polo also had success as part of UK electronic group Funtopia. A 1996 hit by UK dance music producer known as Pianoman used a sample of the Better Day's piano melody. The song - Blurred - which also samples from the chorus of Blur's Girls And Boys, was a huge hit in Ibiza in 1995 - before the samples had been cleared for release.
