Peter Phillips (born June 21, 1970), better known by his stage name Pete Rock, is an American record producer, DJ and rapper. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s as one half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth. After the duo went their separate ways, Rock continued with a solo career that has garnered him worldwide respect, though little in the way of mainstream success. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from jazz into hip hop music (also known as jazz rap). He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier, RZA and J Dilla as one of the mainstays of 1990s East Coast hip hop production. Pete Rock is also the older brother and younger cousin, respectively, of rappers Grap Luva and the late Heavy D.
Biography
Early life
Pete Rock was born in The Bronx, New York, the sixth of seven children born to Jamaican immigrant parents. His family moved to Mount Vernon, New York when he was seven years old. During high school, he met his future recording partner CL Smooth. According to Rock, his father was also a part-time DJ who had an impressive record collection. Rock would often accompany his father to a cricket club called Wembley in The Bronx and watch as he spun records for the guests. His first job was as a paperboy, in his neighborhood.
"Think Twice" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion. It was written by British songwriters Andy Hill, who had achieved success a decade earlier for his work with Bucks Fizz, and Peter Sinfield, a former member of rock group King Crimson. Production on the track was handled by Christopher Neil and Aldo Nova. The song is rock-influenced and features a guitar solo, one of only a few of Dion's songs to do so, performed by Nova. Lyrically, the song is about the protagonist telling her lover to "think twice" before leaving her.
"Think Twice" was released as the fourth single from Dion's third English-language studio album, The Colour of My Love (1993), in July 1994 in North America, in October 1994 in the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan, and in February 1995 in other European countries.
Background
Two versions of the music video exist: the first was released in August 1994; later because of the huge success in the UK, Dion made a special music video in December 1994. It aired in the UK Top of the Pops television programme. The UK music video was directed by Randee St. Nicholas. The model of the first version of the Think Twice's video is Steve Santagati.
"Think Twice" is a song by Brook Benton which reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1961. The song was written by Joe Shapiro, Jimmy Williams, and Benton's regular songwriter Clyde Otis, and was released on Mercury Records with the B-side "For My Baby" also co-written by Clyde Otis, with Willie Dixon.
