Entouch was an American male Alternative R&B group, composed of Eric McCaine and Eric Smith, also known as Free.[1]
They were signed to Elektra Entertainment during the height of the new jack swing era. The duo’s 1989 debut album was called All Nite and featured two singles, “II Hype” and “All Nite”. Entouch was previously a house music quartet with members Gordon “Comissioner Gordon” Williams and Sean Varo. They released their lone album – the 1987 debut, Without You.
The single “II Hype”, released in 1989, peaked at No 18 on the Billboard R&B chart.[2]
In 1990, the single “All Nite” entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 peaked at No. 71 (R&B No. 7).[1]
