Joeski Love

Best known his platinum-selling 1986 single "Pee Wee's Dance," whose trademark hook has been sampled numerous times, Joeski Love was originally part of a rap group that was signed by Vince Davis to his Elektra-backed Vintertainment label. After the group disbanded, Love stayed on with Davis, who produced "Pee Wee's Dance" as well as another single, "Say Joe." A chance meeting with producer Hank Shocklee caused Love to team up with Salt-n-Pepa producer Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, who aided Love with his 1991 debut effort for Columbia Records, Joe Cool. ~ Steve Kurutz
