Clifford Makhene

Another Makhene brother, Clifford Makhene, later formed the trio Fire and Flame and recorded a maxi single under DGr (David Gresham records). the hit, Whole Lot Of Love, sold the maxi single like hot cakes on a christmas morning. In the trio “Fire” was cliff Makhene, “Flame” were two songbirds, Gladys ramela and Diana ncube. cliff was a gifted song writer as he penned among other songs: Touch Touch (Brenda and the Big Dudes), Baby I’m Torn InTwo (pappa and Blondie/america’s Mc cray Brothers) as well as most of the tracks on the Big Dudes’ 1990 Special Feeling album, which featured Mandy. he co-wrote the songs with the group’s lead guitarist, Sammy Klaas. they’ve both left us for the ambitious orchestra on the other side.
