E.U. then collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on the #4 R&B hit “Shake Your Thang” that combined Hip-Hop and Go-Go. Next the band released their biggest selling album “Living Large” with first single “Buck Wild” #7 R&B hit and the slow jam “Taste of Your Love” #4 R&B hit featuring singer Junie Henderson.
