American hip-hop artist/actor Tone Loc scored big in 1989 with his crossover hit "Wild Thing." Taken from his debut album, Lōc'ed After Dark , the single was penned by fellow pop-rapper Young MC and featured a sample from Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'".
Tone Loc was discovered by Delicious Vinyl label owners Matt Dike and Michael Ross in the late '80s, who signed him for his unique, gravelly voice. "Wild Thing" and its follow-up, "Funky Cold Medina" (also written by Young MC) were huge commercial hits, and Loc-ed After Dark was only the second rap album to top the charts.
After his sophomore effort, Cool Hand Loc (1991), Tone Loc shifted focus to his acting career. Tone Loc has since appeared in television (on Fox's "Roc") and movies (Posse, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective); and has used his instantly recognizable vocal chords to voice-over commercials and animated works.
