He was then asked to make an album for a label called Pressure Records. The first single from that project was "Hot Up and Heat It" which became a number one hit in France in the late seventies.He was then signed to Polygram Records after "Hot Up and Heat It" was heard on the Greg Edwards radio show. His first release from that signing was the multi million selling classic "Mama Used To Say" from the album Ji, which sold over a million copies worldwide.
