Boy bands of the late 80's & 90's..........

As I was listening to some tunes this am...I couldn't help but realize how much I missed old r&b groups.  I mean, I was playing everything from "Jodeci", "Ready For The World", "Shai", "H-Town", "Guy", "The Boys", to "Hi-Five" and the list goes on.  I really miss the boy bands of the late 80's & 90's.  They don't make em like that anymore, the songs and videos were just classic. 

Ready For The World sang songs about age being nothing but a #.  Although, they were young they proved that they can still "love you down", lol.  Shai, with their acapella 'If I ever fall in love"-which was the infamous "talent show/audition song" guys would sing everywhere.  Guy-who made it ok to settle down w/ one girl on their "Let's Chill" song. Oh, and let's not forget the fashion and the dancing!  Jodeci and H-Town who made wearing doc marten boots w/ no shirts and suspenders look cool, lol.  The Boys-who every pre-teen girl-including myself had a crush on. Backflips and all in the video, they were too adorable! 

I was thinking, they should really have a comeback tour with all of these groups. Minus-The Boys-being that they ran off to Africa and no longer do r & b music.  Also, minus one of the members of H-town, R.I.P. to the lead singer who died in a car crash.  Also, lead singer of Hi-Five who died from an overdose:(  With that being said, my hat goes off to all of them.  Thanks for giving us some great music-that we can still enjoy today.......







*Then....

*and a disturbing pic of them now (crickets)

*The Boys-looking adorable.  Speaking of "The Boys", ya girl did a lil research and this is what I came up with.  They now go by the name of "The Suns Of Light".  Here is some footage of what they look like now.  Also, what kind of music their doing-ummmmmm......at least we'll always have "Dial My Heart".
