Career [link]

Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Stevie B worked a variety of jobs—from car washing to fast food—before gaining recognition for his 1987 national club smash "Party Your Body". It was also the title track of his 1988 debut LP, which eventually went gold. In 1989, he had his first top 40 hits with "I Wanna Be the One," "In My Eyes," and "Love Me For Life." With his 1990 album, Love & Emotion, he reached the height of his success, with the accompanying single "Because I Love You" enjoying four weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in December 1990.[1] He had two subsequent top 15 hits with "I'll Be by Your Side" and the title track from the album.[1] In 1998, The Best of Stevie B was released, highlighting the light dance-pop sound that marked the start of his career. He has found new fame in Brazil, where he not only appears regularly on radio shows but continues to sell out concerts to tens of thousands of fans, many hailing from the favellas of both Rio and Sao Paolo, due to the popularity of his style of music with urban youth.

2011 Arrest [link]

On September 30, 2011, Hill was arrested by Springfield, Massachusetts police officers during one of his concerts due to him owing $420,000 in unpaid child support.[2][3]

    Young Girl (song)

    "Young Girl" was an RIAA million-selling Gold-certified single, written by Jerry Fuller, performed by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap with instrumental backing by members of The Wrecking Crew, and released in 1968.

    The song hit #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, stuck behind (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding for the first week and Honey by Bobby Goldsboro for the remaining two. It also hit #1 on the UK Singles Chart and the US Cash Box listing.

    The song is sung from the point of view of a man who has become distressed upon finding out that the girl he is with is under the legal age of consent. He is asking her to leave before things go any further, "Get out of here / before I have the time / to change my mind / 'cause I'm afraid we'll go too far."

    In the UK, the recording enjoyed a second chart run in 1974, when it peaked at No. 6.

    Gary Lewis and the Playboys released a version of the song on their 1968 album, Gary Lewis Now!

    I go head over heels
    with just a kiss
    but before you turn away
    hear the words I got to say
    girl I'm still in love with you
    and I need you to know
    that my love is true
    And girl
