    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.

    This is the Black Men's Anthem back in the day and it still stands today!!
    This different black men artist coming together to kick knowledge and hope to black men.
    When you down....play it!!
    See if you can name some of the artist...oh Boyz to Men in there too
    The guy who starts singing 1st is Tevin Campell - Check out his song called "Can We Talk"
    The 2nd guy singing is El Debarge. You played his older brothers group called SWITCH "I call your name" on your channel. Then later on they formed a group with brothers and sister called Debarge
    The soulful guy is Gerald Levert
    Mannnn I can't name all these great black men singers!!!

    Many of the artists you've reacted to are in this song - Tevin Campbell, R Kelly, Boyz to Men, Aaron Hall from the group Guy, Htown, etc, etc.
    Within the same time frame that this song came out, many of the women r&b artists of the time (SWV, Mary J Blige, Aaliyah, En Vogue, Queen Latifah, etc) came together and did a song called, "Freedom." (It was the theme song to a movie called Panther). If you get the chance, you should check it out.

    Yes Sir!! I was working two jobs, trying to fund my "Dream Job". Times would get tough. Long long long time ago, my Uncle told me, "It won't be easy. But when things seem to slow down and it gets tough, just remember why you started doing it, and find a way to capture that energy again and keep it" (lol Im an ol head). People ask me how I started and what I had to do. I don't intentionally discourage anyone, but I intentionally tell them the struggles to get to where I am at. That's the part that most don't see. " Sometimes, you have to dig deeper to reach higher". #StandTall
