Biography
Singer Oliver Cheatham worked with fellow Detroiters Al Hudson and One Way and had a Top 40 R&B hit with the dance classic Get Down Saturday Night on MCA Records. Written by Cheatham and One Way multi-instrumentalist Kevin McCord, the jubilant Get Down Saturday Night made it to number 37 on the R&B chart in spring 1983. The follow-up single was the solid mid-tempo groover Bless the Ladies, which featured a softly singing female chorus repeating: "bless the ladies / bless the girls / what would you do without us in this world." Cheatham's other charting singles included the Top 40 R&B hit S.O.S, Celebrate Our Love, and two duets with Jocelyn Brown: Turn Out the Lights and Mindbuster. Other Oliver Cheatham singles were Mama Said, Put a Little Love in Your Heart, Things to Make U Happy, and Wish on a Star. ~ Ed Hogan, Rovi
