After the initial successes of Shannon and Lisa Lisa, the stage was set for the first "true" freestyle song, and all in the industry say that this record was recorded by Nayobe.
Nayobe was a young Cuban who was discovered at a talent contest, and she was signed to Fever Records in 1987. Her first single was "Please Don't Go".
Dealing with gang violence, "Please Don't Go" tells of a young girl asking her boyfriend not to go to a gang fight that night. The song became a huge dance hit.
Her debut CD was released, and two more singles "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait" and "Second Chance For Love" also became big dance hits.
In 1990, Nayobe changed direction, and released the CD "Promise Me", which was more R&B leaning than dance/freestyle. She then recorded some salsa music.
Nayobe still performs at shows, and is considered the "godmother" of freestyle.
