1999 single by Tatyana Ali
"Boy You Knock Me Out " is a song by American actress and singer Tatyana Ali from her only studio album, Kiss the Sky Kelly Price , StoneBridge , and Nick Nice, the track samples "Summer Madness " by Kool & the Gang and "What You Won't Do for Love " by Bobby Caldwell . Released via MJJ Music and Epic Records on February 1, 1999, the song reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and entered the top 40 of the charts in France, Iceland, Ireland, and New Zealand. The single version of the song, known as the "Big Willie Style" edit, features Will Smith performing a rap.
Background [ edit ]
Tatyana Ali was recruited by her co-star on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Will Smith , to launch her own music career, and she postponed attending Harvard University so she could record Kiss the Sky [1] [2] Kelly Price , Nick Nice, and StoneBridge , who also produced the song. The track samples elements from Kool & the Gang 's 1974 instrumental "Summer Madness "—written by the band, Alton Taylor, and Robert Mickens—and interpolates Bobby Caldwell 's 1978 song "What You Won't Do for Love "—written by Caldwell and Alfons Kettner. Ali recorded the track at StoneBridge Productions in Stockholm, Sweden, and at Titan Recording Studio in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles . Smith performs a rap verse on the "Big Willie Style" single version.[3] [4]
Release and reception [ edit ]
Although MJJ Music and Work Group serviced "Boy You Knock Me Out" to US radio in October 1998, it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 like its predecessor, "Daydreamin' ".[5] [6] Billboard Hot R&B Singles & Tracks and Rhythmic Top 40 charts, stalling at numbers 68 and 40, respectively, in January 1999.[7] [8] UK Singles Chart six days after its release.[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] certified gold in New Zealand (5,000 sales) and silver in the UK (200,000 shipments).[15] [16]
