Career
The group was led by their songwriter Michael Cleveland, and it was known for employing a strong disco-esque bassline and early hip hop lyrics backed by two female singers: Réjane "Reggie" Magloire and Rose Marie Ramsey.
"Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" was released on Sound of New York Records (SNY-5102) in 1982 and peaked in early 1983, reaching the Top 10 U.S. urban and dance charts as well as the Top 15 in UK. The follow-up single, "When Boys Talk," did not do nearly as well on either side of the Atlantic, which combined with their limited later success put them into the one-hit wonders category. Vocalist Magloire later enjoyed some success with the Belgian techno-house outfit, Technotronic.
