  1. What about the force MDS – the first group to combine R&B & Hip Hop or maybe the Deele !!!

    1. Desmond Alvies

      Force MDs would be a great one – I understand much of that group is prematurely deceased unfortunately

  2. How about the 5th dimension
    Also crooners Johnny Mathis and Al Jareau would be good!

  3. What happened to Slave and Steve Arrington? All of the artists sample their stuff.

    1. I totally agree ! Not only was he a solo artist and in a group, but his sound is on other groups’ songs.

  4. What about INTRO/ Kenny G Love Greene one of the most talented writers of R and B in the 90’s. Who tied with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for song writer of the year! This story needs to be told!
