Experience Unlimited is an American go-go/funk band based in Washington, DC. The group was formed in 1975. Fronted by bassist and vocalist Gregory "Sugar Bear" Elliot, Experience Unlimited has undergone various lineup changes over the years. They released their first album Free Yourself in 1977, followed by 1982âs Future Funk. Placing an emphasis on danceable songs, many of which took up an entire record side in length, the group built a devoted following. They captured the energy of their concerts on live albums such as 2 Places at the Same Time (1986) and Go Ju Ju Go (1987). Experience Unlimited had a breakthrough mainstream hit in 1988 with the song âDa' Butt,â featured in the soundtrack for the Spike Lee film School Daze. They soon signed a deal with Virgin Records and released the 1989 album Livinâ Large, which featured hits such as âBuck Wildâ (peaking at #7 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Charts) and âTaste of Your Loveâ (peaking at #4). Experience Unlimited continued releasing albums into the 1990s, and in the late 90s partnered with gospel singer Maiesha Rashad to perform under the name Maiesha and The Hip Huggers featuring E.U. In 2007, Experience Unlimited released School Daze Revisited, featuring new versions of the songs from the filmâs soundtrack including various collaborations.
