I like all of those groups, but Loose Ends is one of my all-time favorite groups. I have worn all their CDs out over the years. I love me some Loose Ends

DeBarge is another favorite. My favorite song of their's is "Stay with Me". They put some good stuff out

I like all of those groups also. I have either cds or old cassettes from each of them. My two favorites are the Tonys and Ready For The World. I listen to RFTW almost as much today as I did 20 years ago. DeBarge, Loose Ends and Guy would be on the next level, then Surface and Troop, but I truly like them all.

Dean Winchester · 08-12-2005, 02:04 PM

Ready For The World kicked ass. DeBarge were good too, as were Tony Toni Tone and Surface. I recognize Guy (I remember Blackstreet a lot better) and Troop by name but don't really remember their songs

I remember all those groups. My favorite of these groups are Loose Ends. I hold a special fondness for them and the System.

GARFIELDKOOL · 08-12-2005, 02:54 PM

All of these groups were underrated, and Buffy your're right, RFTW did kick ass! Other than "Oh, Shelia", one of my favorite songs is "Digital Display"

isiahthomas · 08-12-2005, 03:41 PM

Of course i remember all those groups. Tony Toni Tone, Debarge, Ready For The World are my favorite outta that list. Guy had only one album i liked which is their first one. My favorite songs off their first album is Groove Me, Piece Of My Love, Goodbye Love. I never heard their other 2 albums. I do remember their other hit song Let's Chill. GarfieldKool what's that guy's name that was on Guy's first album on the album cover? I know it isn't Damien Hall who's Aaron Hall's brother. I really wish Tony Toni Tone hadn't broken up. My favorite albums by them are The Revival, Sons Of Soul, House Of Music. Dwayne Wiggins who is Raphael Saddiq's brother has a solo album. I forgot the name of it & i never heard it but i bet it's good because he's a good singer & a good bass guitar player. Raphael Saddiq has out 2 solo albums. I heard his first album Instant Vintage & it's very good. He came out with a album last year called Ray Ray. I haven't heard it but my brother has it. I never heard Tony Toni Tone's first album Who. I wonder if it's any good. I remember their single Little Walter from that album. Ready For The World surprised me releasing 3 more albums after their first 2 albums. I stopped listening to them after their 2nd album. I remember the lead singer Melvin Riley came out with a solo album that has the song What Makes A Man Wanna Cheat On His Woman. I saw the video for that song. El & James Debarge still be singin. They sing on DJ Quik's albums & they were on a skit for The Alkaholics Likwidation album. James also sang on Warren G's albums.

I remember all of them. They had hits in the 80s. I liked Debarge the best- their firsrt 2 albums were among the best of r&B from that era. Troop stands out in my mind for their gheri curl hairdos (Actually I think every one of these acts had the gheri curl thing going on at that time).
