Musical career

[edit | edit source]

They are best known for their 1990 hit single "Wiggle It", written and produced by George Morel and Rafael Vargas. It spent two weeks at number one on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart and number three on the UK Singles Chart,[2]) and then crossed over to mainstream radio, and climbed to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, eventually becoming a gold single. In early 1991 they released the album Wiggle It that Andrew Martin in Q Magazine called intelligent, modern hot-making".[1]

Before that, they were known for a track called "Do What You Want" (1990) that got a lot of club and DJ play in New York and Chicago. "El Trago (The Drink)" was a number 86 Billboard Hot 100 chart entry (the last of their pop hits), but they did chart several more singles on the dance chart through the 1990s. Their first release in the UK was "Somebody in the House Say Yeah!" in the late part of 1989. They later changed their name to Fulanito; and style of music to merengue. Vargas, also known under Dose Material, was also member of 740 Boyz from 1991.
