Jermaine Stewart - Get Lucky

Born in Columbus, Ohio, to parents Ethel M. Stewart and Eugene Stewart, Jermaine always enjoyed dancing and in school would often give dance lessons to other children for $1 a lesson. In 1972, the Stewart family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he took his first steps toward a career in entertainment. This was followed by a stint on Soul Train as a dancer.

Soon he became a backup singer and dancer for several artists such as The Chi-Lites, The Staple Singers and Shalamar while recording backup vocals for such artists as Culture Club. He was featured prominently on the group's 1983 album Colour by Numbers and as a result the group used their influence to help him land a solo recording deal with Arista Records.

'Get Lucky' was the 2nd single released from Jermaine Stewart's 1987 album 'Say it again' the album production was handled largely by André Cymone who had previously worked with Prince and Jody Watley. The result was a collection of danceable pop and dance funk tracks. 'Get Lucky' reached number 13 in the UK and was given the remix treatment from the production company behind such hits as 'You Spin Me Round' by Dead or Alive and Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up.' After a long illness, Stewart died in 1997 of liver cancer complications attributed to AIDS.
