Well, I think we both got it wrong:
From discogs.org:
Miss Jane is not a person; it is a project of Italian producers David Carlotti and Carmine Sorrentino, created in 1998 as a front for Carlotti and Sorrentino's remake of "It's A Fine Day". Their remake is based on samples of Kirsty Hawkshaw's vocals from the 1992 Opus III version, itself a dance remake of a 1983 a capella track by Jane and Barton on the Cherry Red label. A woman named Luisa Gard provides the on-stage image for the touring version of Miss Jane, but does not contribute to the recordings in any way.
So yeah, Jane and Barton (probably where the "Miss Jane" name came from) did the original in 83, and opus iii covered it in 92
