Archive material and source history
Oliver Cheatham was a singer from Birmingham, Alabama who moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s. He worked with producer Jellybean Benitez and released his debut single 'Get Down Saturday Night' in 1983. The song became a dance floor hit, reaching the Top 5 on the US R&B chart and the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
He followed it with other singles like 'Everybody Wants To Be The Boss' and 'S.O.S.,' though none matched that initial success. He released several albums including 'Saturday Night' in 1984.
Cheatham's career was complicated by personal struggles including substance abuse issues and a 1985 arrest for cocaine possession. His flamboyant stage presence and suggestive lyrics also drew criticism from some quarters during that era.
