Last week in januray '87 and first week in february '87, Steve "Silk" Hurley was number one in UK charts... Who? Steve "Silk" Hurley and his hit "Jack Your Body". The best is probably to watch the sample below to see if it's remind you something...
Even if this song might appear insignificant, that was quite a "revolution" as it was the first "house" song to reach the top of the charts and this opened the way for the next music style: "acid music"...
If, as for me, this name doesn't ring a bell, we probably have some excuses as this was Steve's unique big hit... But Steve was and still is first and foremost a great DJ... What he does best are remixes and arrangements on others' songs... And on that side of the job, the least we can say is he worked with the best! Just have a look at some stars he worked for: Michael Jackson ("Jam", "Remember The Time") - Prince ("Get Off") - Janet Jackson ("Runaway") - Madonna ("Take a Bow") - Mary J.Blige - Jennifer Lopez - and many others...
So, it's a good name to recall to show-off as an expert at your next party! :-))
