What Happened To '90s R&B Group Perfect Gentlemen?

Рет қаралды 24,013

Күн бұрын

In the 80’s, boy bands, New Edition and New Kids on The Block had one man to thank for bringing them to the masses, Maurice Starr. A singer and songwriter in his own right, he was a member of a couple of vocal groups beginning in his childhood. Unfortunately, they weren’t successful so, he eventually decided to focus on song writing and producing for other artists. In 1988, Maurice went back to the drawing board to create another teen boy band that would hopefully follow in New Edition and New Kids on the Block’s footsteps. Enter Perfect Gentlemen.

Looks like two members of Perfect Gentlemen group are we’re kids of Maurice Starr, who arranged RnB group New Edition in early ‘80s production contract deal with Streetwise Records, charged them for every expense and then with insulting disappointment💔 , paid each of NE group member with a $1.87 check when tour concluded in 1984, having a luxury motor coach bus dropped them off back home in their Boston’s inner city neighborhood at Orchard Park housing projects, this is after a hellava debut ‘83 Candy Girl album & tour to promote… Well 40 years later look at NE, as old saying goes “when given lemonds 🍋 then make lemonade” still respectably standing after highs 🔥✨💥 and lows⛈ some many turbulent storms💨🌊🌪☔️ but they stayed the course of LIFE of good days and knowing bad days will come, but don’t last always !! One can only wonder why did Starr allow Perfect Gentlemen group fall into obscurity “disband” in early ‘90s with promising career.. maybe Starr knew industry focus for the future was boy bands and next big teen market craze was pop not RnB, hip hop, rap genres of music🤷🏼‍♀️ Now with RnB making a quiet come up… look 👀 at New Edition in 2017 a BET three night bio pic, awards, including a STAR 🌟 on Hollywood Boulevard, a 40th🎉 2023 Legacy 30 City Tour, just concluded April 30, 2023.. Now give NE what they want🪅no more long talks of Las Vegas Residency, Get it. .. finally getting their flowers 💐 and another accolade of honor, they are now considered the blueprint for what would become the modern boy bands… OMG look at God !😍🙌🏽 ✝️🙏🏽

Maspike Miles is the TRUTH. What's crazy is I met dude like 4-5 times over my 20+ year career at various junctions and NEVER put together that he was in the group. But I guess that's because I only recall the original 3. He is VERY respected in the writing and networking scenes.

I use to love that song, Ooh la la!” I was 7 years old when this came out! I remember this was the song during summer 89 in North Philly sitting on the steps outside with my friends listening to Power 99fm. We use to sing this song! This group brings so much memories of my youth! At 41, I still play their music along with New Edition, The Boys, New Kids on the Block, and Another Bad Creation, and the Good Girls. I have my daughter, who’s 8 years old listen to these groups and let her know that I grew up listening to these groups. My daughter wants to sing, and I let her know how some of the singers who started singing young and how some still have longevity!

They came out when I was 13. I never knew that they made a 2nd album. Too bad that the album didn't perform the way it should have. Unfortunately they suffered the sophomore jinx. The good thing is, is that all are alive and well and into other things to keep them afloat. Everybody and their momma remembers the song "Ooh la la", that was a sure fire smash single. Another single that they had was the song "Rated PG". That song was another single that's attached to Ooh la la as a promotion 📼. That song was good as well. I wish them good health and the best of luck!

@janepatton8100 2 ай бұрын

The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in! And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it. Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He. The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him. . God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue. Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consummation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion. Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world... Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE! We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ. Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming 😊... Thanks for taking the time to read this comment. May God bless you with all things necessary for life and goodness. God Bless!
