RJ's Latest Arrival was a 7-piece Detroit band formed in
1976 by keyboardist Ralph James (R.J.) Rice who are perhaps best know
(this side of the Atlantic at least) for their rare groove classic "Heaven In Your Arms" from their 1986 album "Hold On" also released as a single. The
female lead singer is his wife DeDe Leitta. A rather grainy video
of it is included below for any unfamiliar with it.
They had three US R&B Top 10 hits in the 80s with "Shackles", "Hold On" and "Off The Hook (With Your Love)" none of which troubled the Hot 100, although they almost did with
another song "Baby I'm Sorry" which peaked at #107.
They broke up in 1990 but are back with a good new single "One Step At A Time" featuring hip-hop duo Slum Village (Young RJ (RJ's son) & T3). Going by the sleeve photo they are now reduced to a quintet.
