Ollie & Jerry

**efunk_adelic** · May 20th, 2004, 10:37 AM

Jerry of OLLIE & JERRY had a big hit with Ollie in the mid 80's from the movie BREAKIN'.

My trivia question is.... Jerry was a solo artist and had a big disco hit in 1980. What was his solo name and the hit record for this 2 part question?

"Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us" --- love this song. :)

Is it Jerry Knight --- "Overnight Sensation"?

Geez, I might actually get a quiz right for a change. :D

Purely guessing...

I also liked 'Im Down For That' by Jerry Knight from '82 on A&M. It had a very Solar sound IMO.

**efunk_adelic** · May 22nd, 2004, 02:31 AM

I just thought of another good song by Jerry...

PERFECT FIT :)

OK so this thread has now been renamed "Songs By Jerry Knight we like" :lol:
I might as well mention "Physical Clash" - an odd instrumental hidden away on the "Electric Boogaloo" 12"

BTW, did O & J ever make a full album? never seen one over here.

Jerry was a member of Raydio and actually sang the lead on "Jack & Jill"

**efunk_adelic** · May 23rd, 2004, 10:04 AM

K-bee,

you know this is gonna turn into "songs by raydio that we like"

**SandraDee** · May 23rd, 2004, 04:34 PM

Oo, can I be the 1st! :P It has to be 'Is This a Love Thing'- one of my all-time favourite funky disco records. Definitely ahead of its time; oh, that's in another section isn't it?

**K-Bee** · May 24th, 2004, 02:16 AM

LOL the ever changing thread!! Now it's all about Raydio!

I still dig "A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)" as well as the instrumental "Still In The Groove" (isn't that the name of it?)

Well K-bee, sometimes it's fun :D

I believe it's called FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO GROOVE

and I'm still a big fan of JACK & JILL

**QUINNY** · May 24th, 2004, 04:42 PM

For Those Who Like To Groove and Still In The Groove are two seperate tracks, although very similar. Hence, Still In....
Both great dancers.

**buckaroo** · June 17th, 2004, 06:50 AM

Whatever happened to poor ol' Ollie? :cry:

On the topic of songs by Raydio, no one mentioned 'Get down' from the first LP. Another bit of trivia, this time featuring Ray Parker, Jr. of Raydio, in the movie 'Uptown Saturday Night' from circa '74, in the scene at the church picnic, if you look closely you can see Ray Parker, Jr. in the band. Just thought that was interesting.

Easy,
