ユージン・ワイルド (Eugene Wilde)

Eugene Wilde
Eugene Wilde, born Ron Broomfield, is an American R&B singer who had two # 1 hits on the US soul charts in the 1980s.

Born in Miami, Florida, Broomfield grew up as part of a family group, La Voyage, playing in local clubs. In the 1970s, the group became Tight Connection, and was later known as Simplicious. Broomfield also recorded an album with Curtom Records in 1979 as a member of Today, Tomorrow, Forever. He changed his name after seeing an ad in a newspaper for a nightclub called Wilde Flowers.

In 1984 he joined Philly World Records, and wrote and recorded his first hit, "Gotta Get You Home Tonight", which rose to #1 on the Soul charts and also made #18 on the UK pop charts. After a couple of less successful follow-ups, he hit #1 again a year later with "Don't Say No Tonight". He also had some lesser hits, including "Diana" (1986), but his career stalled when his record label collapsed.

Subsequent releases on the MCA label, solo and with the group Cabo Frio, were less successful. He later ran the independent label Wilde City Records in Florida...
