Nu Shooz INFO
Nu Shooz was a 1980s dance music group fronted by husband and wife duo John Smith and Valerie Day, based in Portland, Oregon. Nu Shooz originally released “I Can’t Wait” as a single in Portland, 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 this got the attention of Atlantic Records who signed them to their label. 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. RIAA certification on October 2, 1986.
Their final pop chart entry was “Should I Say Yes?” which hit #41, but 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.
