The Hues Corporation was a pop and soul trio of the mid 1970s, best known for their 1974 infectious hit, "Rock The Boat". The song, a U.S. #1 single and million-seller, is considered one of the earliest disco songs. Some authorities proclaim it to be the first disco song to hit #1, while others grant that distinction to "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra, a chart-topper from earlier in 1974.
Before making it big in the music industry the group appeared in the 1972 blaxploitation film, Blacula, starring William Marshall.
