A Touch of Class was a pop group based in Germany, although the four members each came from different countries—Joseph "Joey" Murray from New Zealand, Sarah Egglestone from Australia, Tracey Elizabeth Packham from England, and Livio Salvi from Italy. The four met in Hamburg, where they were all cast members of the German production of the stage musical "Cats". Their first single, "Around The World (La La La La La)" (which was a cover of the song "Pesenka" of the Russian group Ruki Vverh) was number one in Germany for six weeks in 2000.
