I'll take you there…
After a metaphorical bump on the head from Elvis Costello for abandoning his post as crooner (a true story, ask Dave about it some time), Dave felt the need to "take us there" one more time. Dave teamed up with old friends to reform General Public in released their third album, "Rub It Better", in 1995. The album and Dave's return to the stage were met by a huge outpouring of critical raves and fan support. The album provided yet another hot single for the duo of Dave and Roger, with their infectious reggae remake of an old Staples Singers song, "I'll Take You There", climbing the singles charts and anchoring the soundtrack of the very hip, box office smash hit "Threesome".
Having infected a whole new group of fans with Beat-madness, General Public then decided to disband in 1996. However, true to his philanthropic bent and always looking to help out, General Public reformed in 1998 to play at "Sweet Relief", a concert to benefit ailing musicians.
