S-K-O, which stands for Schuyler, Knobloch and Overstreet, was a vocal trio in the American country music scene, consisting of Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch, and Paul Overstreet. This original ensemble produced a single album under the MTM Records label and scored three country chart successes, notably the chart-topping track "Baby's Got a New Baby". When Overstreet exited in 1987 to embark on a solo path, Craig Bickhardt stepped in, leading to the group's rebranding as Schuyler, Knobloch, and Bickhardt (S-K-B). This revised formation released one album along with four singles before disbanding in 1989.

Biography

The Nashville-based songwriting team of Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch, and Paul Overstreet came together in 1986 to form the group. After issuing their debut single, they abbreviated their name to S-K-O. Following Overstreet's departure to pursue solo endeavors in 1987, Craig Bickhardt joined the lineup, which resulted in a name change to Schuyler, Knobloch & Bickhardt (S-K-B). The group ceased activity when MTM Records folded in 1989. Subsequent to the split, Schuyler took on the role of vice president at RCA Nashville until his retirement in 1994, while both Knobloch and Bickhardt remained active as songwriters.
