Nu Shooz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nu Shooz was a 1980s dance music group fronted by husband and wife duo John Smith and Valerie Day, based out of Portland, Oregon.

In 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.

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.
