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. It was later on a Top 40 hit in the United States and United Kingdom. The song was in television commercial for General Electric in the United States. It has since been covered by DJ Carlee and re-titled "Dizzie Round The World" in the Hardcore techno genre[1]. The song was also covered in 2007 by the band BeFour under the name "Magic Melody."

Their debut album Planet Pop featuring songs from Alex Christensen and Clyde Ward was released on February 6, 2001, by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, for which they were awarded an ECHO for 'Best Dance Act'. Similar sounding follow-up singles were successful in parts of Europe, but A Touch of Class are mainly remembered for their first hit.

They originally were promoted as "ATC" but the DJ and producer ATB successfully took the band's record label to court, and they were forced to change their name to A Touch Of Class. Three singles were released from their second album Touch The Sky in 2003 but they were not particularly successful, and the group decided to go their separate ways.

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Stop tearing up my heart
Tearing me apart
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

Set me free
I see when you're driving along the highway
If love like that is shining in your eyes
I remember everything you have told me
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Leave me all alone
Why don't you go on home
So you don't know how happy I will be
I don't need your love
I don't want your love
So come on and set me free

Set me free

Stop tearing up my heart
Tearing me apart

If you never wanted to feel my lovin'
Then let me just keep walking on my way
Do you ever think you can change your love life
Your life
Now is the best time to leave it all behind
You really want to make me feel so blue
I don't need your love
I don't want your love
So come on and set me free

I could be wrong but I don't think ATC is still preforming and doing music and I'm hoping I am wrong cause they were an amazing band. That is for sure
