I was 9 back then, and loved them as well; actually still do to this day. I always wondered why they suddenly went off the grid after that album made such a splash, and I never heard anything more about them again.
Didn't they though? I can't stand most of today's music anymore, no real creativity left, and to me, everybody pretty much sounds the same to me, with all the effects used to disguise everybody's voices, which you rarely, if ever, heard back then.
"Boys II Men, ABC, BBD. The East Coast Family." They used to light up our local radio station. December 17, 1991. A day before I turned thirteen. Time has really flown.
Nostalgic!! I watched their Funk Fest 19 show and its crazy to see my boys and myself at this age and time 😅 my peers, we came a long way since 90 91 💪🏾💯
This was a cool interview! They were my favorite Boy group in that era hands down!! I was only 8 when they debuted lol.. I learned some things abt their stardom during this video so thanks for uploading!!! ♥️
likewise: I was 8, about to turn 9, and really grew to love them when a friend of mine bought me a copy of their album on tape for my birthday when she bought herself one as well, and we both played them to death, and I still love them to this day.
I really hated that their career was short-lived. I feel this was due to the lack of success of their 2nd album. Even though they had gotten older, they still should have stuck with the same new jack swing/hip-hop sound because they were still young, just maybe two years older. Fans just couldn't connect with the new motown vibe on their 2nd album as they switched over too fast. Same thing happened with Kris Kross...the "raw r-rated" lyrics just came too fast and they got away from the "formula" that worked for them on their first two albums. But ABC definitely could have had a longer career had their team not switched up their sound and image.
The very 1st line of Kris Kross' "Jump" song was an ABC diss, and I didn't find that out 'til I was old Lol. "Don't try to compare us to another bad lil fad..."
I wish Jermaine Dupri or Michael Bivens wouldve conditioned them into better singers and chose better songs. they would've became bigger stars down the line. I guess everybody have their time

I really wish the industry would've took care of these youngsters
I thank them for being part of the memories of my childhood that are actually happy.
I was 8 yrs old back in 1991, so yeah these were my boys...

The 90’s had so much talent, real talent, dancing lyrics ……

It was really cool that Mike Biv put there money in a trust fund

U can say that again.... Being a kid was the best times of my life. Just wish I would of realized it back then, and not when I became an adult.
I love you ABC forever

Yeahhh man. There was some cool little dudes with flavor. LOL I'm talking like they weren't older than me at that time.

Yeah their 2nd album was not good. Everyone was hoping they would have that “New Edition” success but they didn’t.
Kris’s Kris’s “Jump” was a diss song that killed their momentum. Kris’s Kross and TLC dropped and ABC toook the backseat.
@@louregal99 They did have that flavor. A kid version of BBD.
I love red ❤
I remember wanting to BE these guys when I was growing up lol. Great group, and even greater times. ⭐
Every kid wanted Red's haircut and part.
I used to love them. The Atlanta music scene back then was bananas!!

I wish I could’ve experienced this 😢
Look at my babies 🥰
I can be yo baby 2 lol... I❤🔥Nurses & I still dress like ABC lol
Talented and poised little boys ❤❤❤❤
I'd say you had the same thing with perfect gentlemen, 1st album a big success and the 2nd a flop, some made very good albums like too bad to be true
Ooh La La….yes, I remember them.
The dude Kevin is also known as rapper "Currency".
