THE YEAR IS 1990!
-
This was the only hit for the group, who were composed of DJ Dimitry, DJ Towa Towa, and a vocalist named Lady Miss Kier. Kier and Dimitry were married.
-
Before they recorded this, DJ Dimitry wrote to Bootsy Collins and sent him a tape. Collins, a funk pioneer who recorded with George Clinton, liked it and flew in to play bass. He appeared in the video.
-
The rap in the middle is Q-Tip, who was a member of A Tribe Called Quest at the time. He has been a guest rapper for many artists, including De La Soul, Mariah Carey, and The Beastie Boys.
-
The group got their name from a Cole Porter song called “It’s Delovely,” which is about falling madly in love. They mention that song in the line, “Just de-lovely and delicious.”
- This was a hit in New York clubs before it went mainstream. Like Madonna’s “Vogue,” which came out the same year.
