Ollie & Jerry was an American dance-pop duo active in the 1980s, consisting of drummer Ollie E. Brown and R&B singer/bassist Jerry Knight. Despite releasing no studio albums under their own name, they are still widely known for their hit single "Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us", a dance-influenced track which became a top 10 hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and was featured as the theme to the film Breakin' and released on its accompanying soundtrack. However, the group disbanded in mid-1985, after the release of their second single "Electric Boogaloo". As a result, "Electric Boogaloo" failed to repeat the success of "Breakin'..." and the duo is widely considered a one-hit wonder.

  • Ollie & Jerry war ein US-amerikanisches Dance/Pop-Duo der 1980er Jahre. Es bestand aus dem Schlagzeuger Ollie E. Brown und dem R&B-Sänger Jerry Knight. Da sie unter ihrem Bandnamen keinen Studioalbum veröffentlichten, sind sie nur für ihren Hit Breakin’... There’s No Stopping Us bekannt, ein danceorientierter Titel, der in den USA und im Vereinigten Königreich ein Top-10 Hit wurde. Ihr Hit war auch im Film Breakin’ zu hören und auf dem Soundtrackalbum zum Film enthalten. Das Duo gründete sich im Jahr 1984 und trennte sich bereits nach nur einem Jahr 1985, nachdem sie ihre zweite Single Electric Boogaloo veröffentlicht hatten. Da die Single kommerziell nicht erfolgreich war, wurde das Duo zu einem typischen One-Hit-Wonder. (de)
