Freeez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freeez was a dance music group from London, England who had two top ten hits on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1983. The song "I.O.U." from the Breakdance movie Beat Street spent two weeks at number one, and was followed by "Pop Goes My Love" / "Scratch Goes My Dub," which hit the top five. In 1987 a new remix of "I.O.U." climbed to number eighteen on the U.S. dance chart, plus number twenty-three in the national United Kingdom Gallup charts.

The group consisted of John Rocca, Andy Sennet, Peter Maas and Paul Morgan. Rocca and Stennet also recorded as Pink Rhythm in 1985. Much of the band's early work, including the track Southern Freeez became part of the Jazz-funk scene in the UK, in the early 1980s [1]. The band were signed to the record label Beggars Banquet Records [2].
