B-Side

B-Side, also spelled Beeside and Beside, was an alias of American rapper and singer Ann Boyle. In the 1980s she collaborated with various artists on the French/New York label Celluloid, mixing New York electro beats with sophisticated eighties pop. She sang and rapped in French and English, often within one song. 

 
On her only album, the 1985 'Cairo Nights', she was backed by Bill Laswell's Material (with Nicky Skopilitis), augmented with the likes of Dieter Colb (Roboterwerke, Supersempfft), Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, and Bernard Fowler. She was a member of Afrika Bambaataa's Timezone, and did vocals on the 1982 EP 'Change The Beat with Fab 5 Freddy' (another of her aliases was Fab 5 Betty). [SOURCE: LAST.FM]
