Rage was an English dance music group composed of producers Barry Leng and Duncan Hannant, had drummer Hans Greeve and fronted by vocalists Tony Jackson (1992–1993) and Steve Lee (1995).[1] The group were renamed En-Rage in Germany to avoid confusion with the German band Rage.

Career

In 1992, the group released a dance cover version of Bryan Adams' "Run to You", which reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Subsequent singles, including a dance remake of "House of the Rising Sun", fared less well on the chart, although an album titled Saviour was released in 1993.

Singer Tony Jackson, who had previously performed backing vocals for Billy Ocean, Amii Stewart and Paul Young, among others,[3] died in June 2001.[4]
