Spunkadelic
Spunkadelic was a Canadian hip-hop/R&B group best known for their songs "9.95", "Take Me Like I Am" and "Boomerang". The group consisted of singers Alicia Whittaker (listed as Ali) and Ray Guiste (listed as Ray) backed by Peter Willis on keyboards.[1]
"Take Me Like I Am" was written by Peter "Spunk" Willis and Sterling Jarvis in 1988 but released somewhat accidentally in California radio markets in 1990 where it received airplay.[2][3] The song was nominated for Best R&B/Soul Recording and Rap Recording of the Year at the 1991 Juno Awards.[4]
The group also gained some notoriety for their song "9.95," which was included on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack in 1990 and the song "Creatures of Habit" which was released on the subsequent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II The Secret of the Ooze soundtrack in 1991.[5]
