The Goodmen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goodmen are a house music duo from Amsterdam, the Netherlands: Gaston Steenkist ("Dobre") and René Horst ("DJ Zki"). Their biggest hit was "Give It Up", a house music track based upon loud, samba-styled percussion and the simple, repeating vocal line of the song title. It hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1993 and made a brief appearance on the Hot 100, peaking at #71.
In 2001 they returned to the dance chart under the artist names of Mechanical Soul Saloon, F-action, Chocolate Puma, Basco, DJ Manta, DJ Zki & Dobre, Fresh Tunes, Glenn Masters, Jark Prongo, Klatsch!, René Et Gaston, Rhythmkillaz, Riva, Stainless, and Tomba Vira.
In 1995 Simply Red sampled "Give It Up" for "Fairground", their UK Number One hit of that year.
