Dutch producers and songwriters Bernard Oattes and Rob van Schaik used to call themselves The Limit and composed several great dance/pop tracks, for instance
Love Take Over by Five Star. As a duo they released a full-length album in 1985, which contained their hit single
Say Yeah with Gwen Guthrie on vocals and David Sanborn on saxophone. The song peaked at #17 on the UK Singles Chart, #34 on the Dutch Pop Chart and at #7 on the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart. For legal reasons they became Oattes Van Schaik, just before they released their album. Due to the confusion after their name change and the different titles of their album (
The Limit and
Love Attaxx), the sales were poor and the so-called "Dutch Hall & Oates" disappeared from the charts, but they kept on working for others. In the 1990s Bernard Oattes pursued a solo career, and went on to produce 3 studio albums.
