Ruffneck

1968 fans

Ruffneck, an American house music group from New Jersey, United States, was formed in 1987 and consisted of record producers Dwayne Richardson, Derek Jenkins, and Shaheer Williams. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut single "Everybody Be Somebody" on October 30, 1995, which featured vocals by Joanne "Yavahn" Thomas. The track, based on a sample from "Bostich" by the Swiss synthpop band Yello, reached Number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart for three weeks and peaked at Number thirteen on the UK Singles Chart. Their first two hits were released on Masters At Work's MAW label. Ruffneck continued to release music, including the singles "New Life" in 1997 and "E-Street Beat" in 2004. Thomas, who was an original member of the house music trio Jomanda, passed away from colon cancer in October 2003.
