U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 86
Backstory: This San Francisco Bay Area based New Wave and R&B trio consisting of all African-American members consisted of Fizzy Qwick (Debravon Lewis), William "Billy" Peaches, and Romeo "Breath" McCall. In 1984, they released their one and only self-titled album. According to the band, the name Tiggi Clay was named after a notorious bully that they unfortunately knew while growing up, most likely sometime during their high school years. This single was released off of the really short lived Motown Records sub-label, Morocco. It was a minor success, but the album sadly never took off despite having many positive reviews. After breaking up, Qwick went on to make and produce more music and even worked a bit with Tina Turner. Most recently, Qwick has written music for the little known singer, U. Niq.
The review: This song is just an absolutely fun and awesome blast to listen to! The catchy synths, and fresh and upbeat vocals, and medleys are just too awesome! Such a shame it never really caught on too well.
Final rating: 9/10
