Nu Shooz


Nu Shooz is a dance music group fronted by Portland, Oregon husband-and-wife duo John Smith and Valerie Day. Nu Shooz originally released I Can't Wait as a single in Winter 1985 on Poolside Records. The original recording was done at Cascade Recording in Portland in Fall 1984. I Can't Wait was a big hit on Portland radio stations and got the attention of Atlantic Records who signed them. Atlantic had Nu Shooz re-record I Can't Wait and issued the new version in February 1986. They scored two major pop/R&B/dance hits: I Can't Wait, which climbed to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Its follow-up, Point Of No Return, also topped the dance chart and hit #28 on the Hot 100. Both singles were on their album Poolside which made Billboard's Top 200 Album chart as high as #27 and selling a half million copies, garnering a gold record. Their final pop chart entry was Should I Say Yes? which hit #41. They had two more dance hits, one of which, Are You Lookin' For Somebody Nu, topped out at #2 on the dance charts in 1988. This single was on the album Told U So which climbed Billboard's Top 200 Album chart to #93. Their last album Bagtown was released in 2016. Read more on Last.fm.
