 Notes  
     Lee Haggard of Chicago, Illinois, and his introduction to music came
     via his elder brother, who taught him bass, drums and keyboards in
     the tradition of James Brown, Parliament and Funkadelic. By the time
     he was 18 he was to be caught DJing at local clubs and recording
     demo tapes at home, perfecting his own sound. Confident of his
     newfound abilities, he approached a friend, who brought him to the
     attention of Mitchball Records.
     A few singles emerged from the recording contract, but failed to
     sell. More success was to be found with the Trax Records label, for
     whom he recorded the hip house cut "Shoot Your Best Shot". Popular
     in his native Chicago, it paved the way for the follow-up, "I Cant
     Forget", on which he sang for the first time, to become an
     international hit. However, from then on he changed his vocal
     delivery to that of a rapper, releasing singles like "Pump Up
     Chicago" and "Pump Up England".
     While promoting these in the latter territory he was the subject of
     intense bidding by the majors, finally signing with Jive Records.
     Following singles like "Do It To Me" (which featured an all-star
     cast, being produced by Mr. Fingers, part-penned by Stevie Wonder
     and featuring samples of Quincy Jones' 'Betcha'), his debut album
     would sell over one million copies worldwide, the title-track
     reaching number 1 on the Billboard dance music chart when released
     as a single.
     By the time of his second collection he was experimenting with
     swingbeat, a new way of maintaining the blend of R&B/house and rap
     which had served him so well previously. His adoption of the style
     was made explicit on album cuts like "New House Swing". The first
     single taken from it, "Hey Love", featured labelmate R. Kelly,
     though there was a return to hip-hop roots with the samples of Chuck
     D.'s "Bring The Noise" chant on "Time To Party".
