スティーヴィーB (Stevie B)

Stevie B
Stevie B (real name Steven Bernard Hill) is a singer, songwriter and record producer of Cuban descent that was highly influential in the Latin freestyle and Miami dance music scene of the late 1980s. Due to his prolific attributions, Steve B has been called "The King of Freestyle". He is perhaps best-known for his 1990 number-one hit "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)".

Born in South Florida, Stevie B worked a variety of dead-end jobs before gaining recognition for his 1987 national club smash "Party Your Body". It was also the title track of his 1988 debut LP, which eventually went gold due to the huge success of "Spring Love". In 1989, he had his first top 40 hits with "I Wanna Be the One," "In My Eyes," and "Love Me for Life." With his 1990 album, Love & Emotion, he reached the height of his success, with the accompanying single "Because I Love You" enjoying four weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in December of 1990. He had two subsequent top 15 hits with "I'll Be by Your Side" and the title cut. However, with the subsequent rise of alternative rock, Stevie B's light dance-pop sound lost much of its initial mainstream appeal, and he never recaptured his earlier success. In 1998, The Best of Stevie B was released, highlighting the light dance-pop sound that marked the start of his career.

In 2007 Stevie B and Rapper Pitbull did a remake of his hit song "Spring Love" titled "Spring Love 2007". His latest collaboration is with newcomer The Chili Guy. The Chili Guy is famous from his appearances on the popular afternoon drive radio program "Toucher and Rich" (heard locally in Boston on 104.1 WBCN). He has not let the success overcome him because he is still yet to buy a house...
