Chuckii Booker
Chuckii Booker (born December 19, 1966 in Los Angeles, California) is an American award-winning producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader.
Biography
Booker emerged in the late 1980s as a prominent urban contemporary R&B artist and producer. He began recording music after being signed by his late godfather Barry White to his production company in 1984. Later, he played keyboards with the short-lived Epic Records band Tease for three years. Booker, known throughout the industry as a keyboard player, is considered by his music peers to be a bass player.
Booker received his recording contract in an unlikely manner. He gave his demo tape to the manager of Gerald Albright to showcase his skills as a musician. However, Booker had forgotten about the songs on the other side of the tape, which contained original songs with vocals. As a result, he was offered a recording contract with Atlantic Records.
Booker signed a recording contract with Atlantic to release his debut album Chuckii in 1989 in which he played all the instruments and sang all vocals. The album fared well on the strength of hit singles "(Don't U Know) I Love U" and the #1 R&B single "Turned Away." The follow-up final album Niice 'N Wiild was released in 1992 and yielded another chart-topping R&B hit "Games". Chuckii also wrote, performed and produced the single "Crypt Jam" from the CD soundtrack Tales from the Crypt. Booker also made a cameo in the movie House Party 3 as a piano player in the hotel lobby scenes which starred Kid N' Play, Bernie Mac and Chris Tucker.

Get the things I have, whoo
Oh, I've worked hard to
Get the things you need

That you're used to playing
Or am I just a fool that's chasing
Girl, I've tried my best to keep you happy
Instead you turned around
And tried to train me
