Salt-N-Pepa with En Vogue - Whatta Man 1993

"What a Man" is a song written by Dave Crawford, and originally recorded by Linda Lyndell, whose recording reached number 50 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1968. The song was essentially improvised by Lyndell, record producer Dave Crawford, and the Stax studio musicians in Memphis, Tennessee.

In 1993, American hip hop trio Salt-N-Pepa recorded the song retitled "Whatta Man" for Runaway Love, an EP by En Vogue, who is credited as the featured group. Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor wrote the rap lyrics and produced the version, with Cheryl James (Salt) also credited as one of the songwriters. Salt-N-Pepa sampled Lyndell's original recording and remade the song as a rap song.

"Whatta Man" was a major hit for Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 7 on the UK Singles Chart and number 6 on the UK Dance Singles Chart. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and the American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Single.

The music video won three MTV Video Music Awards: Best Dance Video, Best R&B Video, and Best Choreography in 1994.

"Whatta Man" received a total of 76,4% yes votes!
