Where style meets substance

"U.K. Black" is what black British kids whose parents came from commonwealth countries after World War II proudly call themselves. Soulful songstress Caron Wheeler has taken UK Blak as the name for her first album, an inspirational mix of pain and hope that veers far off the beaten tracks of the retro British funk school. So far, in fact, that she landed on the right side of the tracks when she performed last October at Royal Albert Hall for the Princess of Wales at the British Fashion Awards. The Princess was literally swayed; it was to Di for.
