#SoulfulSaturday explores Doo-Wop 😉! The 90’s way…

This week, #SoulfulSaturday revisits the 90’s era focusing on one of the most phenomenal R&B groups of the time frame. Its’ original members included Robert Anderson, Darnell Chavis, Eunique Mack and Daniel Stokes. The 4 Bruthas and A Bass were discovered by legendary producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis on a SOHO street corner in New York City. Member Rob Anderson recalls “Jimmy and Terry both stopped and listened to us at separate times; they liked what they heard so much that they signed us to their label Perspective/A&M Records.” The group became known for incorporating traditional melodies with their profound doo-wop flavor. Solo has always delivered a distinctive brand of R&B-Soul, highlighting their various musical influences . Here’s a prime example of what and WHO we’re speaking of 😉…

Having been called the Tempts of the 90’s, the group’s essential style delivers raw-soul vocals and authentic mood-setting jams. Still today, the group stays true to the influential sounds of Motown, Chess, and Philadelphia Soul. In 1995, Perspective released the group’s self-titled debut “Solo.” The album was exceptionally well-noted, gaining popularity with nominations for various awards including the Soul Train Music Award for “Soul Album of the Year” and selling more than 750,000 copies. It garnered 2 successful top 10 singles including “Heaven”, which topped at #1 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary R&B Chart and “Where Do You Want Me To Put It”, which reached #8 on Billboard’s R&B Chart. #SoulfulSaturday has coined “Heaven” as a #ForGrownsOnly jam, combining the Adult Contemporary flavor.
