From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nick Straker Band, from London England, is a popular music group who had a handful of hits on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The group consisted of several members of the band New Musik. Their most successful song in the US, "A Little Bit of Jazz," spent one week at #1 in 1981.
