The Last Days Of House (weekly): 'What Is Love' By Haddaway (1993)

This week's house-track is one that everyone must be familiar with by now, thaaats riggghht, its the 1993 mega-hit house-track What Is Love by Trinidadian-Dutch singer Haddaway. Alexander Nestor Haddaway was born in Trinidad in 1965, then moved with his family to attend boarding school in Europe, and then moved with his mother to the United States. He went to high-school in Maryland, and then moved back and finally settled-down in Cologne, Germany in 1989. At that time he was playing Grid-Iron football for the Cologne Crocodiles in the German Football League, as well as working as a choreographer, selling carpets and making music in his spare time in which was born his one-hit smash hit wonder What Is Love. What Is Love was released in 1993 on his self-titled debut Haddaway album and it very well may unofficially be the most well-known house track worldwide, but that is just speculation. What Is Love peaked at #2 in the UK and Germany, #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and it was resurrected to popularity via the Saturday Night Live "Roxbury Guys" sketches, and 1998 feature film A Night at the Roxbury with Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell. So there it is, I had to do it, and stay tuned to see what gets the feature next week.
