  • Club Nouveau is a rhythm and blues pop band that was formed by record producer/performer Jay King in 1986 in Sacramento, California, subsequent to the break up of the Timex Social Club. Other members of Club Nouveau included original members Denzil Foster, Thomas McElroy, Samuelle Prater, and Valerie Watson. The band's name was changed from its original incarnation, Jet Set, to exploit the break up of the Timex Social Club. The group was signed by Warner Bros. Records, on which it released its first three albums. From its debut album, Life, Love & Pain, which was released in 1986, they scored four consecutive hits: "Jealousy", "Situation #9," a remake of Bill Withers's "Lean on Me," and "Why You Treat Me So Bad." Why you treat me so bad was sampled by The Luniz on their smash hit "I Got Five On It" and subsequently by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs on "Satisfy You". The latter two both made it to #2 on the R&B charts the next year, with "Lean on Me" becoming a big Billboard Hot 100 hit. "Jealousy" also made an appearance on the soundtrack to the film Modern Girls. Foster and McElroy soon left to form their own group and focus on producing other acts, and Prater eventually left as well. The replacements were David Agent and Kevin Irving. The group's next albums — beginning with Listen to the Message — were laced with an evolving social consciousness, though they were not as successful commercially as the group's debut. Notable recordings include a dancehall-influenced version of the gospel classic "Oh, Happy Day" from the album A New Beginning. More recently, the platinum hit single "Me & U" by Cassie has been said to sound eerily similar to "Why You Treat Me So Bad." Thump Records has issued a hits collection, and Club Nouveau occasionally regroups to record. The band also recorded a song for the "Who's That Girl" soundtrack called "Step By Step". (en)
