Somethin' for the People
The R&B production/recording trio
Somethin' for the People was formed in Los Angeles in 1990
by Oakland, CA, natives Curtis "Sauce" Wilson and Jeff
"Fuzzy" Young, along with L.A.-based
Rochad "Cat Daddy" Holiday. After writing songs and recording demos
for several years, the
three hit pay dirt when they were asked by producers Denzil Foster and Thomas
McElroy to write
a song for their artist Samuelle. Somethin' for the People signed a contract
with Capitol Records
in 1993, releasing their self-titled debut album that year. They also wrote
songs for Brandy, En Vogue,
and UNV.
Somethin' for the People had hopped labels by 1996, and their debut LP was
reissued on Warner Bros.
The trio's second album, This Time It's Personal, was released in September of
1997. It spawned the gold-
selling, Top Five pop and R&B hit "My Love Is the Shhh!" While
attempting to craft a follow-up, Sauce,
Fuzzy, and Cat Daddy were kept busy producing tracks for Will Smith's hit album
Big Willie Style and
Adina Howard's Welcome to Fantasy Island. But they finally released another
album of their own, Issues,
in July of 2000.
