Background

Black Box recorded a cover of "Fantasy" for the group's debut studio album Dreamland in 1990. Their version featured Martha Wash on lead vocals, but their music producers initially failed to credit her. Black Box's version of the song charted at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart,[16] number 16 in Germany, and number 3 in Australia.[17]

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "Sleaze-speed house rendition of Earth, Wind & Fire's evergreen received widespread club support as an import last year. Ethereal remix emphasizing plush strings and Martha Wash's unmistakable voice should keep fires burning at pop and urban radio."[18]
