The R&B production/recording trio Somethin' for the People was formed in Los Angeles in 1990 by Oakland, CA, natives Curtis "Sauce" Wilson and Jeff "Fuzzy" Young, along with L.A.-based Rochad "Cat Daddy" Holiday. After writing songs and recording demos for several years, the three hit pay dirt when they were asked by producers Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy to write a song for their artist Samuelle. Somethin' for the People signed a contract with Capitol Records in 1993, releasing their self-titled debut album that year. They also wrote songs for Brandy, En Vogue, and UNV.
