    It was common in the 80’s and 90’s for multiple artists to get together on a track for a positive cause. It’s sad you don’t see this anymore.

    Black Men United is not an official group but is a collective of some of the greatest male voices in R&B including Tevin Campbell, El Debarge, Christopher Williams, Brian McKnight, Gerald Levert, Stokely (of Mint Condition), Aaron Hall, Joe, the members of After 7 and Boyz II Men, that RKelly guy, among many others. They came together to record this inspirational song for the Jason's Lyric movie soundtrack. There is a video of them performing this Live somewhere on here. Classic song written by D"Angelo and his younger brother, Luther.

    I LOVE THIS SONG. We had artists doing this a lot back in the day. Artists nowadays are too proud, "masculine", petty and selfish to do positive songs like this. There aren't even enough artists to do this. Nobody wants to share the spotlight. Besides Silk Sonic, are there any other groups? 😐 R&B needs to be revived. Dudes need to start singing in the rain, crying and grabbing the air again. 😂

    Tevin Campbell, Geral levert, Raphael Seydic, Brian McNight, The lead singer of Mint Condition, Boyz ll Men, Keith sweat, Christopher Williams, Aaron Hall. That’s all I caught. Sorry I recognize a lot of them but I can’t remember all of there names. But this song brings back so many memories. I didn’t watch Jason’s Lryic, because at that time I couldn’t watch Black movies anymore because usually they were sad. But I loved this song that was apart of the sound track. It was a very uplifting song. And they just came together for this song I believe. Remember this was like 93’ or 94’ a lot was going on in our community, I believe this was after the million man march and the million woman march. There was push for ending violence and unification in the Black communities around the country.

    When they ask if R&B is dead, I can point to this example of when it was thriving. And this is just the men. Now, you can’t put together a group of artists that came out within the last 7-10 years that can sing like this. Just a bunch of mediocre or sub-mediocre vocalists, with very few exceptions. I miss this era.
