Lisa Lisa (born Lisa Velez, January 15, 1966 and her band Cult Jam were an urban contemporary band assembled and produced by Full Force. The group released their debut album Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force in 1985. They were signed by Columbia Records and the label released their single "I Wonder If I Take You Home." It quickly became a chart-topper on Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco chart. It then crossed over to the R&B chart where it peaked at #6, and then to the pop charts, peaking at #34 in US and #12 in the UK. "I Wonder If I Take You Home" was followed by another club hit, "Can You Feel the Beat", which also went to #40 on the R&B chart in late 1985. Their third single, the ballad "All Cried Out" went to number #3 R&B and #8 pop in summer 1986. The Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force album went platinum. Their second album, Spanish Fly, was a huge success in 1987. It spawned two #1 pop hits, "Head to Toe" and "Lost in Emotion". "Head to Toe" parked at #1 R&B for two weeks and stayed in the pop top 5 nearly three months. Lost In Emotion's video went on to become the 4th most played video of 1987 on MTV. Spanish Fly went platinum, peaking at #7 on the album chart. Other singles from the album were the ballad "Someone to Love Me for Me" b/w "Spanish Fly" (#7 R&B), "Everything Will B-Fine" (#9 R&B). 1989's Straight to the Sky was a moderate hit that included the Top 30 pop/#3 R&B single, "Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star", as well as the club hit "Just Git It Together". Their fourth and final album, Straight Outta Hell's Kitchen, was less of a commercial success, though it did include a hit with "Let the Beat Hit 'Em", which reached the pop Top 40 and was a #1 hit on both the R&B and club charts. The group disbanded in 1991.
