Amii Stewart - 'Dance Till You Get Enough' - 1984

Washington, D.C., vocalist Amii Stewart came whooping and shouting into the spotlight with an amazing though unconventional cover of Eddie Floyd's "Knock on Wood." Her boisterous vocal, coupled with a non-stop arrangement and equally unrestrained backing vocals, topped the pop charts in 1979 and reached number six on the R&B side. Stewart, who was in the Broadway musical Bubbling Brown Sugar, did another remake as a follow-up, the Doors' "Light My Fire," backed by "137 Disco Heaven.". Stewart later moved to Italy and had some singles issued on international labels before trying again in America on RCA in the mid-'80s. Her 1984 album was called Try Love and gave her another Italian #1 hit with the laid-back Mike Francis-penned track "Friends" which also gave her a UK #12 hit after a 4-year absence. Amii herself was pleased with the success with a different style: "You can't spend your entire life doing songs like "Knock On Wood"," she said. Her 1985 single "Friends" for Emergency just missed the R&B Top 40.
