Black N' Blue was a rock band from Portland. They did not make it to superstardom, but they recorded some hit albums such as Without Love, In Heat, & Nasty Nasty. Their biggest hit single came off the self-titled first album called "Hold on to 18".

Black 'N Blue were signed by Geffen Records. They release four albums under this label & three Music Videos: Hold on to 18, Miss Mystery, & I'll Be There For You.

Black 'N Blue reformed in 1997 for a show that would be recorded and released as - One Night Only - Live.
