Big Supreme was a band from the United Kingdom, featuring vocalist Barry Flynn from the band Bonk[1] (whose UK Number 96 chart single "The Smile and the Kiss" [2] (1983) was the first commercially released recording to feature Toni Halliday from 90s indie chart stars Curve) [3]. After Bonk's Top 100 debut was re-issued under a more radio friendly band name, The Chant of Barry Flynn, a male/female trio was formed by Flynn in the mid 1980s, with the new band (Big Supreme) signing to PolyGram's Polydor Records label.[4]. During the 1980s, the band had a two singles in the UK Singles Chart. The first, "Don't Walk", entered the chart on 20 September 1986. It remained in the chart for three weeks, reaching #58. In the US "Don't Walk" became a classic at the famed Dallas, Texas nightclub, The Starck and also regularly played as the last song of the night by DJ Joe Friar at Club Control in Victoria, TX. In Houston the track was frequently played on KKBQ-FM and KRBE. Clubs such as The Ocean Club (Galleria) and Club 6400 (Richmond ave.) also included the track as part of their mix playlists. Their second chart single, "Please Yourself", entered the chart on 14 March 1987, reached a high of #64, and was in the chart for two weeks. Barry Flynn would release a single in 1989 as Flynn called "The Only One" [5], whilst keyboard player Robin Hild would find brief success in America as part of Scarlett and Black.
