DR. DRE

1965-

Record producer



Eve After Dark had it going. From the moment Lonzo Williams started working the club at the corner of Avalon and El Segundo, there was no turning back. It was the early '80s. Funk and disco were all that mattered. Pay the cashier, step behind the curtains and just forget about it. You'd be knocked flat by the heat—so hot the windows sweated—and the lights and the sound and the dancing, always the dancing, a hundred bodies grooving.



So, of course, Andre Young wanted in. So did Eric Wright. It was the place to meet the ladies. Yet Williams stopped them every time. They never paid attention to the dress code. But Young had a plan. He was like that, the kid from the projects who was always looking ahead.



Eve had some of the best DJ'ing equipment in town. And Young was practiced. The first night he put "Please Mr. Postman" and "Planet Rock" on top of each other. The place went off the hook. Soon he was Dr. Dre, Wright was Eazy-E, and Williams was selling their music out of the back of his RX7, its rear bumper scraping the ground from the weight of the load.



"Straight Outta Compton" hit the charts on March 4, 1989. In less than two months it peaked at No. 37, going gold at the same time. By July it had gone platinum.
