Egyptian Lover

Egyptian Lover (born Greg Broussard) is an American electro hop artist, one of the best known performers of that underground West Coast dance-hip hop phenomenon. He began recording around Los Angeles in 1983 (see 1983 in music) and released his debut single, the club hit "Egypt, Egypt" in 1984 (see 1984 in music). This was followed by more dance hits, including "And My Beat Goes Boom" and "What Is a DJ If He Can't Scratch". His LPs were much less popular, though 1984's On the Nile[?] was moderately successful. After a late 80s/early 90s break, Egyptian Lover returned in 1994 (see 1994 in music) with Back from the Tomb[?].
