D. Train
Encyclopedia
D. Train was an American
R&B
duo
, who scored several significant hit
s on both the Billboard
Dance
and R&B
charts
during the first half of the 1980s.
, and Hubert Eaves III
, a keyboardist
and producer
who performed the instrumentation on the recordings
. Hailing from Brooklyn
, New York
, Williams himself was a R&B/dance
producer as well. He and Eaves met during high school
and began performing together. Eaves would spend most of the 1970s as a member of the R&B band
Mtume
. However, by the 1980s, he and Williams had teamed up again. The group named themselves "D. Train" after a nickname
Williams had acquired as a football player in high school.
D. Train released their first single
"You're the One For Me
" in late 1981. The track became an instant success, hitting #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play
chart that year; it has been remix
ed and re-released successfully several times since, and was contemporaneously covered
by Paul Hardcastle
with vocalist Kevin Henry in the United Kingdom
. The duo's self-titled debut album
(which prominently featured the "You're the One For Me" title on the front cover, and the album sometimes became known by this name) followed in early 1982, and several additional singles from this effort were successful on both the R&B and Dance charts, although they were not as popular as the debut hit. Among these tracks were "Keep On," which reached #2 on the Dance chart, and a cover version
of the Burt Bacharach
/Hal David
penned "Walk On By", that owed more to the Isaac Hayes
version than to Dionne Warwick
's original recording.
In 1983, the band released their follow-up album, Music. The title track became another dance-floor anthem and is the most gospel
infused of D-Train's floor fillers. This track nearly equalled the success of the group's debut single. Several other singles from the album were moderately successful.
In 1984, D. Train had their only Billboard Hot 100
entry with "Something's On Your Mind," which climbed to #79 and was later covered by Miles Davis
on his album You're Under Arrest. The single also cracked the top five on the R&B chart, becoming the group's biggest hit in that market as well. The accompanying album, also titled Something's On Your Mind, found the band branching out into new musical territory, incorporating elements of reggae
and more adult contemporary-oriented R&B into their music. Williams himself played acoustic guitar
on a cover of Carole King
's "So Far Away
".
A Greatest Hits album entitled You're the One for Me- The Very Best of D'Train was issued in several European countries in 1985 http://www.discogs.com/D-Train-Youre-The-One-For-Me-The-Very-Best-Of/release/589868. Featured on this compilation was a remixed version of "You're the One for Me," and the tune charted a second time that year. The remixing on this version of the song was done by Paul Hardcastle, who had previously issued a cover version of the song, and by 1985 had become well-known for his own hit "19
". Despite this success, the group would disband that same year.
career. Although he was billed as a solo artist, however, he did continue to work with Eaves acting as a producer and key instrumentalist. In 1986, Williams released his debut album, Miracles of the Heart, which featured a Top Ten R&B single, "Misunderstanding." The follow-up single, "Oh, How I Love You Girl" also performed well in the R&B market.
His second album, In Your Eyes followed in 1988. The title track narrowly missed the R&B Top Ten, and one other single was also released.
