History
[edit]Italian-born[where?][when?] Charlie Rapino began his career in the music industry in the early 1980s as a lawyer, a path that eventually led to production work for various record companies.[2] In 1987, he started producing house music in Italy with his brother Marco under the name The Rapino Brothers.[2] It was, however, a song that featured Charlie as MC rather than behind the production desk, "Tingo Tango", was to prove a turning point in their career, earning extensive UK radio airplay and a recommendation from Culture Club's Jon Moss for the duo to further their burgeoning profile in London.[2] In May 1992,[3] The Rapino Brothers moved to London to establish themselves as hit pop producers.[2]
By January 1993, the duo had secured their first hit as Rapination, featuring singer Kym Mazelle, with "Love Me the Right Way",[3] when the song peaked at No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] This was preceded in December 1992 with a remix radio edit of Take That's first top 5 hit, "Could It Be Magic".[5]
Charlie Rapino went on to become an A&R, first at Sony Music International and then at Decca Records.[citation needed]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
