This artist hit it big exactly once, with the Top Ten hit "The Cheater," released in 1966 under the name of Bob Kuban & the In-Men. His music was influenced by his sideman association with Ike and Tina Turner, including several stints with Ike's Kings of Rhythm band. In 1976, he opened his own booking agency and his venture payed off, even leading to public recognition such as the St. Louis Businessman of the Year award. One of his innovations was the so-called Singles Night Out series of singles dances. He also started his own publishing company, Q-Man Music. His success in these music business endeavors have left him in a different position than many other '60s hit artists who never recovered from getting "ripped off" for their royalties. He always left some time for music, continuing to book his own combo as well as fronting the Bob Kuban Brass Band. Thirty years after his one Top Ten hit, he was honored at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's tribute to "One Hit Wonders," because without him it could never have been complete. Unfortunately, Kuban's singer on this hit single, Walter Scott, was not around to enjoy the award. He was the victim of a grisly murder in 1983, the details of which were apparently fascinating enough to inspire a book, The Cheaters: The Walter Scott Murder by Scottie Priesmeyer. Although he vanished in 1983, the singer's body was not found until 1987, floating in a cistern with a gunshot wound to the back. His widow and her new husband were charged with the murder, and that is quite ironic considering the words of the biggest hit Scott had ever sung: "Look out for the cheater..." Scott and Kuban's relationship went back to 1963, when the latter was a high school teacher who played drums on weekend wedding gigs, with Scott singing for a group called the Pacemakers. The two men formed a new band that almost immediately began cutting sides for the Norman label, but not with any great success, although the song "Jerkin' Time" would make a great theme song for a Jamaican jerked chicken chain. "The Cheater" was originally released by the Musicland label, for whom Kuban cut two further singles, "Harlem Shuffle" and "The Batman Theme." In 1970, Kuban cut a single for Reprise and re-did his one-hit for other labels in both 1974 and 1975. In 1975, the Bob Kuban Brass Band recorded Get Ready for Some Rock and Soul, once again for Norman. The same label was still around in the late '80s to issue two more singles with predictable partying themes, "Everybody's Gonna Have a Party" and "Triple Shot of Rhythm and Blues." In 2000, Kuban began playing drums in the band of another St. Louis rock & roll legend, but one with decidely more than one hit to his credit: guitarist Chuck Berry. Kuban has also worked in radio and was the musical director of KXOK from 1985 through 1987. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide

Disco dance...has been Italian. As Giorgio is...Hansjörg "Giorgio" Moroder (born on April 26, 1940 in Ortisei, Italy)is an Italian record producer, songwriter and performer, whose groundbreaking work with synthesizers during the 1970s and 1980s was a significant influence on new wave, techno and electronic music in general. Particularly well known are Donna Summer's disco hits produced by Moroder, including "I Feel Love". Moroder is also the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, which served as a recording home for artists ranging from Led Zeppelin and Queen to Elton John for much of the 1980s and 1990s.Moroder was one of the producers of "Love to Love You Baby" Donna Summer's 17 minute opus along with Pete Bellotte. Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a variety of others including Swedish-born Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Debbie Harry and France Joli.Often collaborating with lyricist Bellotte, Moroder scored a number of hits in his own name including "Son Of My Father" in 1972 and "From Here to Eternity" in 1977, and in the following year releasing "Chase", the theme from the film Midnight Express. All were hits in the UK. The full movie score for Midnight Express won him his first Academy Award for best film score in 1978. In 1979 Moroder released his album E=MC². Text on the album's cover stated that it was the "first electronic live-to-digital album." He also released three albums between 1977-1979 under the name Munich Machine.In 1984, Moroder worked with Philip Oakey, frontman of the popular synthpop group, The Human League, to make the album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. In 1986, Moroder collaborated with his protege Harold Faltermeyer (of "Axel F." fame) and lyricist Tom Whitlock to create the score for the popular film Top Gun (1986), with the most noteworthy hit being the Berlin classic, "Take My Breath Away", which went on to become a huge hit for the group. "Chase" was also used as an entrance theme for wrestling's (then) popular heel group The Midnight Express. In 1987, Moroder produced Falco's song "Body Next to Body". On September 20, 2004 Moroder was honored at the Dance Music Hall of Fame ceremony, held in New York, when he was inducted for his many outstanding achievements and contributions as producer. In 2005, he was given the title of Commendatore by the then President of the Italian Republic, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.-----Totalmente autodidatta, privo di formazione musicale , Giorgio Moroder, con il suo lavoro innovativo con i sintetizzatori durante gli anni settanta, ebbe una particolare influenza sulla disco music e la musica elettronica in generale. Molto noti sono i successi di Donna Summer prodotti da Moroder, come "Love to Love You Baby" e "I Feel Love". Moroder ha prodotto anche diversi successi di disco elettronica per The Three Degrees. Ha collaborato inoltre con artisti del calibro di Cher, David Bowie, Eurythmics, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Debbie Harry, Barbra Streisand, Gianna Nannini-Edoardo Bennato, Janet Jackson e Olivia Newton-John. Diversi sono anche i successi ottenuti come cantante: "From Here to Eternity" del 1977 firmata semplicemente come "Giorgio", e "The Chase", dell'anno seguente, tratto dalla colonna sonora del film Fuga di mezzanotte. Nel 1984, Moroder lavorò al restauro e alla riedizione del famoso film muto Metropolis. La sua versione del film introduceva una nuova e moderna colonna sonora rock, oltre ad essere stata riformattata a 24 immagini al secondo e ad integrare le didascalie nel film stesso come sottotitoli. Questa versione del film è della durata di soli 87 minuti. La "versione Moroder" di Metropolis innescò un acceso dibattito tra cinefili e fans, con critiche aperte e apprezzamenti che si divisero equamente in due. Moroder ha composto la musica per le Olimpiadi di Los Angeles nel 1984, per Seul nel 1988 e la canzone "To be number one" per i campionati mondiali d'Italia 90 (in italiano "Un'estate italiana", scritta assieme a Edoardo Bennato, che con Gianna Nannini ne è l'interprete). Negli anni ottanta Moroder lavorò alle musiche di film come Flashdance, American Gigolò e Scarface. Le musiche di quest'ultimo sono tornate recentemente alla ribalta dopo essere state usate nel videogioco Grand Theft Auto: Liberty city stories . Fra il 1989 e il 1990 scrisse le canzoni "Strike like lightning" e "Shadows", interpretate dai Mr.Big, per il film Navy Seals.Nel 2005, è stato nominato Commendatore dall'allora Presidente della Repubblica Ciampi.
