The Original was a house music group which consisted of Giuseppe Nuzzo (DJ Pippi) from Italy, Walter Taieb from France and Everett Bradley from the United States. They are best known for their 1995 hit single "I Luv U Baby", which reached No. 2 in the UK, No. 6 in Scotland, No. 12 in Ireland and No. 25 in the Netherlands. Its follow-up single, "B 2 Gether" was a Top 30 hit in the UK reaching No. 29 and Top 10 on the UK Dance Chart at No. 8.
The huge success of "I Luv U Baby" prompted the group to perform the song live on the BBC flagship music chart programme Top of the Pops on the 17 August 1995 episode.
