Early 90s great, faded as R&B got less love on radio into 2000s. 80s were mad good for female R&B singers, Whitney, Anita B, Aretha, Janet J., Jody W., Miki Howard, Stacy Lattisaw and many others...
@@MsLuvmusic81 When I first heard the record I thought his voice sounded quite familiar, looked up the CD and he was credited for background vocals and vocal arrangement! Many people were surprised
Trey Lorenz is the truth! I have been listening for about a good 30 years. Your spot in with that. His voice is so unique and I always hear him on so many different songs.
Groove Theory "Tell Me" was one of the songs that made the general public aware of the Neo Soul movement. There are some songs that I feel are perfect, and this is one of them. The guy (Bryce Wilson) was predominantly the producer, and the girl (Amel Larrieux) is the singer/songwriter. The duo broke up in the early 2000s, but have since reunited. I'm not sure if there are plans to release music though. I hope so. Both have had solo success as well. Check out Amel Larrieux "For Real". Classic!
For real! I'm so happy I grew up to the 80's 90's 2000's sound track.... so many experiences made with these classics being a part of them! Although we can never go back it's cool to be able to reminisce 😊😉😍
this samples "all night long" By the Mary Jane Girls, written by Rick James Also, Groove Theory originally wrote this for a British group called Rhythm N Bass. Rhythm N Bass only had 2 singles before getting dropped from their label. Their version was a b-side on their 2nd and final single "Can't stop this feeling" Groove Theory consisted of singer Amel Larrieux and producer Bryce Wilson. They only had 1 album.
Fun fact: Bryce Wilson is also the main guy in the Toni Braxton video “You’re making making me high”. They also dated for a little while around the time the video was made.
Groove Theory is an American duo, with former member, singer-songwriter Amel Larrieux and songwriter/producer/actor, Bryce Wilson. The group is best known for their 1995 hit "Tell Me", which reached the top five of Billboard 's Hot 100 and the US Billboard R&B chart. .... Amel Larrieux had a great solo career .. "FOR REAL" is my All Time Favorite from her.
@Jack reacts 1:49 HELLLLLLLLL NO JACK. We're not going to warn you. Where's the fun in that. We love your reactions to the songs. That's what it's all about 🥰💯 YES this is FIREEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤗
My absolute favorite looooooooooove now that you've reacted this song I want to request you do Carl Thomas "summer rain" and "emotional" also Faith Evans "a love like this" and Mary J Blige "be happy"
The original beat from this song was from a Rick James all girls group called the Mary Jane Girls. The song is called All Night Long. That song is still played on black radio until this day! Check it out!
So now you gotta react to For Real by Amel Lareaux, the girl in this group. I remember her whistle register taking me by surprise there cuz the high notes here were sung by Trey Lorenz, Mariahs BFF back up singer.
GROOVE THEORY " Keep Trying " is there second biggest single. But the lead singer has her own string of hits Amel Larrieux " Infinite Possibilities" and " Get Up " are good starts into her discography. enjoy !
Amel Larrieux is the singer. You want to hear Mariah have some whistle note competition? Then you need to see her solo hit "For Real", it's so beautiful. I love her voice. For Real is off her album "Songbird". The guy in the video and on the backend of the song, is both member and producer of the group. You might recognize him from Toni Braxton's video "You're making me high". He was the guy Toni chose from the elevator game her and her girlfriends were playing.
Yes, Jack!!! This song was everything back in the day, I danced to it for an elementary school show. This brings up so much fun & good memories thanks to watching you listen to this timeless track for the first time. 💜
Yes! Her and Tamia are one of my favorite underrated singers ever! The singers name is Amel Larrieux "brave bird" and "for real" are great songs of hers to check out!
Jack, this is the perfect two stepping song for you! Amel Larrieux went solo and had success on her own. Please react to her hits, "Get Up,"&"Infinity Possibilities." Both fire classic Neo soul grooves.🔥👍😍
Hey Jack. Thanks for reacting to this. React to their other song “Keep Tryin.” Also, react to Brownstone “5 Miles To Empty”. Keep up the good work man👍🏾
Jack you have really outdone yourself bro. I love watching you videos because you bring me back to my time the 90's you have yet to scratch the surface on the it. We were blessed to experience the 90's. Keep them coming
Never seen a channel like yours literally. Just straight R&B and Good R&B at that.. I’m only 23 and that’s the majority of all I listen to. Wish the younger generation knew they have all this heat that they’re missing out on Bro. Keep up the good work.
Amel Larrieux is the lead singer of Groove Theory. She released an incredible album called, Infinite Possibilities; the song you definitely want to check out from that is, "Make Me Whole". It'll make your heart melt.
Corey Bibbs Your list is cool. I just wanted to add some more because I love Lyte the MC. Here’s mine: Paper thin Cha ChaCha Cappuccino Ruffneck Cold rock a party In that order Bonus: Early Hip hop banger classic: Top Billing by Audio Two who happens to be MC Lyte’s brothers
This is top 10 of my all time fav songs... really top 5. 🔥🔥🔥 so happy to see you enjoyed it off rip. I remember the first time hearing it as a kid in the 90s. Probably the best sample of “all night long” (as there is many. This is, in my opinion, the greatest.
Jack we’ve got the same taste in music because this is my #1 song in my playlist!!! I was a kid when this song came out and I truly love this one!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song is legendary. I still blast this song and sing all the words😂Amel is so talented. You should listen to Groove Theory entire album and check out Amel Larreiux (lead singer)solo stuff.
You can tell this dude really appreciated the female lead vocals in this song. I loved this reaction! This was my jam and this dude gave it the respect it deserved.
Let me tell you how much they played this song on the radio, lol, i think i learnt all the verses in just a few hours, it was crazy in the mid 90s of course no Google back in the day, it just came on radio all the freaking time!
In past videos you have talked about the songs you play with with your windows down on a nice summer afternoon, this was one of those songs. I used to do just that when I was probably just a little older than you are now.
I know this may sound a bit corny but the music from my generation is a literal soundtrack to my life. These songs & artists are ingrained in my soul & are effortlessly intermingled with my memories. With Every beat, every run, or melody I can attach them to exact places, people & feelings. It’s like a personalized music time machine. So when I see younger ppl or anyone that hasn’t heard this music, & react to these songs/genres of that era with the same smiles i had it really tugs at my heart. It almost feels like I’ve opened up my photo album to you & every video you watch are the pictures. I know that probably makes no sense lol And my apologies for babbling & gettin a bit sappy. Lovin the channel & keep up the great content. Can’t wait to hear more!💕
I had been gone for a minute, but today I decide to check in on our favorite good music explorer Jack. Low and behold he has finally hit on Groove theory’s Tell me. This song was on all our rotations for many years. The beat is timeless, the production subtle but fire, and the voices, angelic. Let alone the lyrics that make a man want to find a tender do I who thinks this way. Thank you for this gift Jack. You never disappoint. If your searching for another artist that many know little of, but other artists adore, try Kem. Love calls or Your on my mind. Those would help u see why Snoop and others of us of a certain age love Kem forever.
Yay, I'm glad you got to this one! Amel Larrieux is the singer, and she is an absolutely fantastic artist!! She's one of my favorites of all time, along with Mariah and Erykah. You should for sure check out Amel's solo work. Every album of hers is a masterpiece, and it's crazy to me that she isn't more well known! You should listen to "For Real" and "Get Up" to start with :)
Amel is a jazz vocalist, so she uses her voice like an instrument (particularly toward the end). She left Groove Theory after this album and had a very good solo career. Get into her solo stuff. I'd start with "For Real," or "Trouble" or "Weary." The male vocalist you hear on the bridge is Trey Lorenz, who sang with Mariah on "I'll Be There"
All of 90s r&b and hip hop music is 🔥🔥🔥
EVERY LAST ONE!!!
Early 90s great, faded as R&B got less love on radio into 2000s. 80s were mad good for female R&B singers, Whitney, Anita B, Aretha, Janet J., Jody W., Miki Howard, Stacy Lattisaw and many others...
facts 💯
Period!!!
FUN FACT: The male background vocals you hear in the bridge are by Trey Lorenz, Mariah's background singer for over 30 years. He is incredible.
OH WOW! Never knew that was Trey; he had a couple nice singles himself back in the early 90s
@@MsLuvmusic81 When I first heard the record I thought his voice sounded quite familiar, looked up the CD and he was credited for background vocals and vocal arrangement! Many people were surprised
I commented that on his I’ll be there reaction when he reacted toTrey hitting those high notes.
I figured that was him. I recognized the voice.
Trey Lorenz is the truth! I have been listening for about a good 30 years. Your spot in with that. His voice is so unique and I always hear him on so many different songs.
Amel Larrieux is the female lead vocalist in Groove Theory! You’d definitely love her own song “For Real” it’s one of my favorite songs ever! 🙌🏽💕
You beat me to this comment
Shon Greer Its probably one of my favorite songs ever! The lyrics are so meaningful! ❤️
@@briannavasquez4096 and she sings it to perfection

I remember this being out when the show New York Undercover was on. Very goodtimes! This singer went on to do her solo project and was neo-soul also.
Imani Strong New York Undercover!!! Such an underrated show!!
I wish I knew the musical climate when 2pac was alive. I was into toys r us and kid movies back then.

toppatop21 like Jade!!!! Don’t Walk Away is ICONIC
HAVING GROWN UP IN THIS ERA I HEAR PEOPLE OFTEN TALK ABOUT 90'S HIP HOP, BUT 90'S R&B WAS JUST AS HIGH QAULITY.
My absolute favorite looooooooooove now that you've reacted this song I want to request you do Carl Thomas "summer rain" and "emotional" also Faith Evans "a love like this" and Mary J Blige "be happy"

Jack was making the stank face. He was feeling it. Me too. I love this song. I have seen Amel a few times live. Beautiful voice.
Seeing her live is a whole experience🧡 I've seen her a few times, but it has been years!
Nah! Don't listen to him, never ever warn him. Let that first listen just be pure musical bliss to his soul.💜💙💜
