Adventures of Stevie V

The Adventures of Stevie V was a British dance music act from Bedfordshire England. In the late 1980s & early 1990s they scored several hits on the UK Singles Chart, and the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, most notably with the song "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)", released in 1990.

Assembled by producer Stevie Vincent, the group also included singers Melody Washington and Mick Walsh. Their most successful single was "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)", a #1 dance chart hit that crossed over to pop radio and hit #2 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. Follow-up single "Jealousy," hit #2 on the US dance chart in early 1991, and climbed to #95 on the Hot 100. The remaining singles failed to hit the dance chart. Vincent released a second album under the moniker in 1993 entitled Satisfy Me, which featured a host of different singers, including soul divas Thelma Houston, Gwen Guthrie, Ruby Turner and Beverlei Brown. The singles "Push 2 The Limit" and "Paradise" were not hits. Vincent currently teaches music tech at Bedford College.

After the demise of The Adventures of Stevie V, Mick Walsh - co-writer of "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" - went on to have a US dance #1 with "Set Me Free" performed by Clubland. He now lives in New York working with artists such as Freddie Bourne. A remix of "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" was released in late 2009, mixed by Funk K called "Dirty Cash 2009". "Dirty Cash" was covered by Liberty X, and featured on their 2005 album, X.
