Rage was a British dance music ensemble created by producers Barry Leng and Duncan Hannant, featuring drummer Hans Greeve alongside vocalists Tony Jackson (active 1992–1993) and Steve Lee (1995). To prevent mix-ups with the German band Rage, they performed under the name En-Rage within Germany.

Career

The group achieved notable success in 1992 with their dance rendition of Bryan Adams' "Run to You", which climbed to number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. Later releases, such as their dance adaptation of "House of the Rising Sun", attained lower chart positions. Their album Saviour was launched in 1993.

Tony Jackson, who had contributed backing vocals for artists including Billy Ocean, Amii Stewart, and Paul Young, passed away in June 2001.
