The Club Nouveau Story: Fallout with Timex Social Club (2/6)

Club Nouveau is an American R&B group formed by record producer/performer Jay King in 1986 in Sacramento, California following the breakup of the Timex Social Club.
The group's name (French for "New Club") was changed from its original incarnation, "Jet Set", to capitalize on the breakup. The group was signed by Warner Bros. Records, on which Club Nouveau released its first three albums.
Club Nouveau's go-go version of Bill Withers' song "Lean on Me" won a Grammy award for Best R&B Song in 1987

Heavy on my Mind…Classic 🎧

[@gmcneoplan84]

That's my favorite song on the Life, Love & Pain album.

Used to hear Jay king's name a lot, but never really got the 411. He had the 80's rocking though.

[@HalftimeChat]

He's a no nonsense businessman who worked hard to create a legacy. I had no idea until I interviewed him

Jay Tommy & Denny They were the trio of the 1986 lineup of Club Nouveau and Timex Social Club So sad that by the time the 1988 album Listen to the Message the 2Tuff E Nuff magic was gone.

Loved club Nuevo

[@mookeychase0907]

I hated the fact that Nouveau bit Rumors and Jealousy sounded exactly like Timex Social Club's rumors bro!

[@HalftimeChat]

😄

[@jammck1399]

Me too, you ain't never lied bro. Well actually Rumors from TSC came out in May of 1986 then three months later Jealousy by CN released in September 1986, both of them were written and produced by Jay, Tommy and Denny.

Timex Social Club’s Rumors is basically Club Nouveau’s song Jealousy. … because they are the same members in two different groups. ???

[@HalftimeChat]

Jay King Produced Rumours for Timex Social Club. When they signed a deal behind his back he formed Club Nouveau and wrote and produced Jealousy as a way to hit back at the guys

[@foodiesnetwork727]

My man jay!!! Met him in Hollywood good guy

[@MrJefferony]

Jay is one of the most awesome guys I’ve ever been blessed to have in my life, his perspectives on life and people are a culmination of Humility and Humor with Wisdom woven throughout.. He’s Truly been a Plus for me…

[@steviecritiquenewby7874]

" That was my favorite single when I was in highschool 💪💪💪💪

[@HalftimeChat]

Wow I didn't realize Teddy Riley did that remix

[@showstopperjones-smith9677]

@@HalftimeChat please ask Mr King about No Friend Of Mines hit single remix 1989 featuring Boo Ya Tribe did he like the Teddy Riley version Better and why the single didn't get bigger???

[@thealchemist5761]

I still didn't hear where he explained what happened with Timex social club. It just sounds like club nouveau is a knockoff Timex social club. He even left Mike Marshall's vocals on Rumors. It's funny how both Rumors and I got 5 on it did better with Mike Marshall's vocals than club Nouveaus great value version. I mean really how is I got 5 on it more iconic than the original song? The only difference is Mike Marshall's vocals. I believe those songs were made for him that's why the did better.
