- Freeze "I.O.U." as performed on Switch, August 12th 1983 The song was written and produced by Arthur Baker and remixed by Jellybean Benitez and Arthur Baker. The song was an international hit, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart and topping the US Billboard Dance/Disco Top 80 chart, giving Freeez their only chart-topping single on any Billboard chart. It was the 18th-best-selling single of 1983 in the United Kingdom.
In the UK, where clubbing culture had become accustomed to sophisticated jazz-funk music, I.O.U. was seen as "dumbing down" for commercial success, cashing in on the fashionable "electro" music scene. The accompanying video featured children with skateboards and BMX bicycles recreating New York hip-hop culture for a young audience unaware of the band's previous music.
In 1986, a 12-inch single was released in the US by the Criminal Records company, with new remixes. Some of these remixes were given a re-release during 1987 in the UK for the Citybeat label as "I.O.U. (The Ultimate Mixes '87)", however, it only reached number 23 on the UK Singles Chart. - Hudba

Brilliant Stevee, brings back memories🍻
Blimey. You'd have a job to get more eighties than this
Somebody needs to give him a ladder so that he can reach those high notes.
He's dancing like he has got a itchy bum 🦠
This revived my vibe today, thanks!
I remember hearing this on radio in the NYC market where I grew up in late '83/early '84. Didn't know they were Brits 😮
Well.. they were, but it was written by Arthur Baker and remixed by Jellybean Benitez…
@@Steaminlidz I was maybe 14 at the time & couldn't understand why all the NYC rock stations were now playing pop/dance/top 40 🥴 😆
Oh my god. Every music video should look like this.
Fun !!
The heat will rock you
The heat will roll you
Baby don't you know, my heat will move your soul
Fantastic Stevee! Love this track! New Order's Shellshock sounds similar to IOU, doesn't it?
I was going to say it was also written by Arthur Baker, but then i remembered he wrote Confusion not Shellshock.
Oh! Wauw! Fr amazing!, i was 17 at the time💯🎉💃🕺🏻🎶💯🎉 4:04 4:13 4:21 4:33 💝
