Dare 2B Dif'rnt
Dare 2B Dif’rnt is a co-ed act that consists of Debra Torres and Paulie D.
They both hail from Staten Island, New York and got together in 1993.
Paulie had studio time booked for himself and Lisa Gonzalez known as Split
Dis. They were to record a cover of the Machine disco classic “There But
For The Grace Of God.” They chose this song because the original made
waves with its reference to a place with “No blacks, no Jews, no Gays.”
They wanted to flip the line to make it a positive one by replacing that line
with “No crack, no crime, no A.I.D.S.” They felt in a small way they could
affect the world in a positive way. However on the day of the studio
appointment Lisa had to back out of the act due to some long term dental
work that she didn’t realize would affect her pronunciation of certain words.
Debra Torres was Lisa’s cousin and since she knew the tune and
happened to be there hanging out, volunteered to do it. Debra and Paulie
worked together so well that they decided to make it permanent and
changed their name to Dare 2B Dif’rnt. That studio effort became the “B”
side of their debut ZYX release in 1994 called “A World Of Love.” “A World
Of Love” scored number one placements on the International Hi-NRG Chart
in DMA Magazine and in Streetsound Magazine on the Canadian Dance
Chart. It was also a Sales Breakout in Billboard Magazine. “A World Of
Love” was also licensed to Indo China where it still appears on compilations
today in it’s original version. This single led to many gigs, the first of which
found them performing with KC & The Sunshine Band!
