This mixed R&B group (four men, one woman) offers mostly originals with tight harmony, infectious rhythm and incredibly strong solos. Airplay quality originals include the title cut, “You Are the One,” and calypso “Johnny” which won “Best Original Song” at the Harmony Sweepstakes. Boppin’ covers include a “Sly Medley,” and “Stay With Me Tonight.” Inclusion of a sax on two numbers shocks at first, but the “sixth voice”-flavor it provides is artistically satisfying. (41:19 1993)

Dear All,
I’ve been searching for this band since many years now! I’ve heard you in the year of 1995? 1996? and was enchanted by your voice!
I’d like to purchase your two albums of that time: Simplicity and Talkin Acapella.
Is there a way to order these albums from Europe, Hungary?? Please let me know how could I order them!
Thanks a lot! God bless you
Imre
