S-K-O, originally known as Schuyler, Knobloch and Overstreet, was an American country music group, composed of Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch and Paul Overstreet.[1] The original line-up recorded one album for MTM Records and charted three country hits, including the number one, "Baby's Got a New Baby".[1] After Overstreet departed in 1987 for a solo career, he was replaced with Craig Bickhardt, and the group was renamed S-K-B.[1] S-K-B released one album and four singles before disbanding in 1989.[1]

Biography[]

Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch and Paul Overstreet were three well-known songwriters who got together to form a band, Schuyler, Knobloch & Overstreet.[1] After the release of their first single, they shortened their name simply to S-K-O.[2] When Overstreet left the group in 1987 to pursue a solo career, he was replaced by Craig Bickhardt (who had almost joined the country-rock band Southern Pacific early that same year) and they changed their name to Schuyler, Knobloch & Bickhardt.[1] The similarly shortened S-K-B disbanded when their record label, MTM Records, shut down in 1989.[3] Since then, Thom Schuyler became the vice president of RCA Nashville (a position from which he retired in 1994), while Knobloch and Bickhardt continued their songwriting careers.[1]
