Brief biography courtesy of Wikipedia
The Hues Corporation was a pop and soul trio of the mid 1970s, best known for their 1974 hit, "Rock the Boat". The song, a U.S. #1 single and million-seller, is considered one of the earliest disco songs. Some authorities proclaim it to be the first disco song to hit #1, while others grant that distinction to "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra, a chart-topper from earlier in 1974. Before making it big in the music industry the group appeared in the 1972 blaxploitation film, Blacula, starring William Marshall. They also had three songs featured on the soundtrack. There He Is Again, What The World Knows and I'm Gonna Catch You. The Hues Corporation's four other singles to reach the Billboard Hot 100 were "Freedom For The Stallion" (1973, #63), "Rockin' Soul" (1974, #18), "Love Corporation" (1975, #62), and "I Caught Your Act" (1977, #92). The group's name was a pun on the Hughes Corporation, with the "hue" being the group's African-American heritage. The band's members were St. Clair Lee (born Bernard St. Clair Lee Calhoun Henderson, 24 April 1944 in San Francisco, California, U.S.), Flemming Williams, and Ann Kelley. The original choice for the band name was The Children of Howard Hughes, which their record label turned down. Despite their initial success, the group disbanded in 1978. But with renewed interest in disco music throughout the 1990s, the group reunited for tour dates and special events, including the PBS special Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion.
