I Can't Waitby Nu Shooz

Nu Shooz is led by the Portland, Oregon husband-and-wife duo of guitarist John Smith and singer Valerie Day. Here's an interview in which they talk about how "I Can't Wait" took off from a local hit to national prominence: www.popmatters.com

In April 1985, Portland musicians Valerie Day, John Smith, and their band NU SHOOZ, released the five-song EP ‘Tha’s Right!’. Acting on a dare from a local music writer, a DJ put the song “I Can’t Wait” on the air. It took off quickly, became a regional hit, and eventually reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.: www.nushoozmusic.com
