Nu Shooz was a 1980s electronic dance music group fronted by husband and wife duo John Smith and Valerie Day, based in Portland, Oregon. They released three albums in the U.S. during the 80s, but it was their second album, Poolside, that brought the group's sound to a wider audience. Nu Shooz originally released the single "I Can't Wait" in Portland during the winter of 1985 on Poolside Records. The original recording was done at Cascade Recording in Portland in the fall of 1984. "I Can't Wait" was a big hit on Portland radio stations at the time, and this got the attention of Atlantic Records who signed them to their label. Atlantic had Nu Shooz re-record "I Can't Wait" and issued the new version in February 1986.   Wikipedia
