SOS Band did NOT break up… I’m from ATL and I personally know several of the original members… they still perform to this day with a few member changes. Mary Davis recently retired from the group due to health issues, Abdul Ra’oof (Reather Bryant) and Sultan Muhammad are still performing, while Reggie Ward (guitar) passed away a few days before Christmas from liver cancer (rip)
Thank you! My uncle Charlie Singleton was a member and I loved seeing them live and was excited for his solos career. Me and my aunt screamed out loud seeing him on The Arsenio Show.👍
Don’t disturb this groove(The System ) was a hit in 1986 right before 1987. I was in the sixth grade. I will never forget it. It was one of my favorite songs.
The Deele! I'll never forget it. It was the summer of 1984, i was a jr. in highschool and was shopping for a new album at the record store. I saw The Deele's cover album, Street Talk--Body Talk ...that was it. I had to buy it. I played that thing almost everyday. What a teenager!
To Black Colture Re-Wind My Name is Jon Jon I Sing In The R&B Group TROOP We Got Back Together In 2004 We're Doing Concerts With 11 New Songs Out On ITunes And Amazon Steve Allen And Myself Also Have Solo Projects Out There Aswell...One Love Fam.
SOS Band: They were and are one of the 80'+s wonder bands, fresh, talented and she could sing the vocal chords off a song bird. I hope there is a hard copy of their works?, in case of a digital crash!. It just that some music need preserving for humanity for ever.
Yes....The Deale.😊 Midnight Star...I super love Luther....the Jets...Atlantic Star (saw them in concert)...SOS (yes Atlanta)...klymax....love them so much....Full Force..yes....and Lisa Lisa.....love Cameo...I could name 15 more....this music helped define me....❤
Zapp still tours basically as a reunion band at special occasions. Their last album was released in 2018. There are a bunch of bands he left out. One Way, Dazz Band, Brass Consteuction, Mass Production, Rose Royce, Fatback band,...etc.
True, some of these bands are m.i.a. but some of them went solo,tour, or joined other bands or record on indie record labels. Which sometimes are missed by the public because their not promoted on regional radio stations.
Also, the 70s, 80s, and 90s will never be duplicated! For the younger generations, you will never, ever understand how much great new music was being released, what appeared weekly or monthly. We were living through the real-life battle of the bands or (groups).
RFTW. Melvin Riley Starts out Oh Sheila with " What's good for the goose is good for the gander, Oh Sheila " But he does it with an Australian accent.. Do you know why? Because in Australia women are called Shelia's ... Now you know.
@@carriebrown8929 You're welcome.. There was a rumor when this song came out it was about Sheila E.. I've never heard or seen any proof of this, so I believe it was just a coincidence. But I did read a post a couple of years ago on reddit ( So please take this with a grain of salt because it is reddit ) That Prince was pissed off because RFTW used the bass line from Lady Cab Driver for Oh Sheila.. It's pretty much note for note ( That part is true, this is the part I'm not so sure about ) When the song came out Prince and Sheila E were in the back of a limo when it came on and Sheila E said to Prince " I didn't know you wrote a song for me ( Because of the Prince Bass line ) And Prince said " I didn't " Remember reddit and a grain of salt. But if it happened that would be hysterical.. 🙂
Several other groups can be listed here: Kleeer The Dazz Band Living Colour Mtume Dreamboy Midnight Star Planet Patrol Twilight 22 Even if some of these groups are still together touring, they're not cranking out new hits. The point of this video are the hey day 1980 years and musically, after the 1980s, these groups disappeared.
I when to Kentucky State when Midnight Star were there they were playing gigs around the city I saw them play many times they were really good KSU4EVER 🐎
So, Black Culture Rewind is a creation of a non-black individual, that can't pronounce some of the names in these groups, and doesn't really know much about the black bands he's narrating? Nice money grab.
The Jets didn't disappear without a trace. Actually, they split into 2 groups, like UB40. One of the groups is/or was doing a Vegas residency. I'm not sure, if they are still doing it. Unfortunately, Eugene (the one who was also in "The Boys Club") passed away last year. The Jets is still my favorite group.
You didn’t say enough about Cameo whose iconic song ‘Candy’ is played on practically every dance floor up to today. Many parties don’t get started until it’s played. C’mon. Get your (f)act(s) together!!!😢

FACTS 💯💯💯Sounds of Success one of the most underrated R&B groups 💯💯🔥🔥
Rip Reggio We will miss y'all and Greenbriar Mall 🏣 🌲
The SOS Band was awesome 💜
Fort Benning concerts in the summer we're awesome.
The SOS Band is from Albany, GA. Not Atlanta.
Cameo is a legendary band whose music is still played to this day. They didn’t disappear. They got older.
Thank you!
My uncle Charlie Singleton was a member and I loved seeing them live and was excited for his solos career.
Me and my aunt screamed out loud seeing him on The Arsenio Show.👍
AMEN
And sometimes still tour. 😂
We can't be young forever give them their flowers now continue to show them ❤
I liked Cameo!!!❤
Gangster rap grabbed a foothold, and Black music was never the same.
Gangsta rap was horrible and disgusting
Changed black people as a community as well!
@@eyebrowstj specifically the young people unfortunately
@MCfact1827 Yes! Our younger generation has been heavily influenced by gangster rap, and it has cost so many of them their lives, unfortunately.

@Byron-z4q Great catch! Thanks

The Deele! I'll never forget it. It was the summer of 1984, i was a jr. in highschool and was shopping for a new album at the record store. I saw The Deele's cover album, Street Talk--Body Talk ...that was it. I had to buy it. I played that thing almost everyday. What a teenager!
Well I was just happy that Full Force got a mention.
Love Full Force 😊

But The JETS seem to get special love from the Black Community and I speak from growing up black in the 80s ,The JETS always got a PASS
@@Filmation77 Yes and From the Native American community.
“Ready for the World” are still together, saw them in Atlanta this year with several original members and sounded great.
Your algorithm isn't ready for prime time please stop disrespecting my music and era!
FACTS!!!!
I hear a lot of this music being played on the older R&B channels. They haven't been forgotten.😊
You just reminded me the best parts of my childhood. Thank you so much for that.
Wait... how did yall mix Force MD's & The Pharcyde as Ready For The World...🤔 I know yall think we look alike but Daaaaaamn... 😅
I know right!! I stopped watching this video after that bcz I realized whoever created this doesn't know that they don't know!
I peeped that too
Bands come and go. No need for a rocket scientist to know that!!!
SOS Band: They were and are one of the 80'+s wonder bands, fresh, talented and she could sing the vocal chords off a song bird. I hope there is a hard copy of their works?, in case of a digital crash!. It just that some music need preserving for humanity for ever.
One of the baddest bands..I don’t know what this commentator talking about
"Weekend Girl" is an excellent example of the best of 80's R&B. Just my opinion.
Yes....The Deale.😊 Midnight Star...I super love Luther....the Jets...Atlantic Star (saw them in concert)...SOS (yes Atlanta)...klymax....love them so much....Full Force..yes....and Lisa Lisa.....love Cameo...I could name 15 more....this music helped define me....❤
These bands were great. Still great
Back in the 70s, 80s, 90s, GREAT BANDS were everywhere. I'm not even going to mention bands you forgot that were very significant.
What n da heck Mama Cheetah?? It’s Mamacita
Lolololololololol
Okay I didn't make it that far but I cracked the heck up reading your response!! Too Funny...
@@SolidHostDesign Ahahahahahaa
6:17 Ummmm...that's The Force-MD's...not Ready For The World
I caught that also. I was like what does the Force MD’s have to do with Ready For the World?
I said the same thing! How do you mess that up 😮
"2 Occasions" will forever be straight fire!! Same for "Don't Disturb this Groove"
Ayeeee Yo...@15:54 How yall mix Troop up with Shai... 😮😅
thats what i said
Starpoint
Jaccee Maghee sung on Keith Sweat's,Make it last forever 😊
SKYY, Zapp and The Gap Band are a some of My Faves that along with a Few others that were left out.
Zapp still tours basically as a reunion band at special occasions. Their last album was released in 2018.
There are a bunch of bands he left out. One Way, Dazz Band, Brass Consteuction, Mass Production, Rose Royce, Fatback band,...etc.
@bonepicker1 I have seen Zapp recently and honestly, although they did sound good it just isn't the same without Roger.
Zapp and The Gap Band had legendary careers. I don't think they just disappeared!
@@rudolphsaiz8386😢
True, some of these bands are m.i.a. but some of them went solo,tour, or joined other bands or record on indie record labels. Which sometimes are missed by the public because their not promoted on regional radio stations.
Had to stop this @3:14 and play "Ghetto Heaven" and then come back!
At 23:36 a picture of The Gap Band, not Instant Funk is shown. Hmm
Also, the 70s, 80s, and 90s will never be duplicated!
For the younger generations, you will never, ever understand how much great new music was being released, what appeared weekly or monthly.
We were living through the real-life battle of the bands or (groups).
What about the group Dynasty???
Ready for the world still gets radio play on old skool stations and i know my husband and I still bump slide over we love Ready for the world
I always get emotional watching the ball drop. Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a blessed and successful year ❤
Thank you. Happy New Years and may you be blessed with a good one as well!

I'm glad someone noticed the name what Sheila meant TY
I did not know that!! My Mom is Sheila!😂
@@pamelahayden3562 That's so cool.. If she's a fan of the song that's even more cool.. Take care and have a good one

Several other groups can be listed here:
Kleeer
The Dazz Band
Living Colour
Mtume
Dreamboy
Midnight Star
Planet Patrol
Twilight 22
Even if some of these groups are still together touring, they're not cranking out new hits. The point of this video are the hey day 1980 years and musically, after the 1980s, these groups disappeared.
Hell, you should've made this video. You know more than he does!❤
Melvin Riley from ready for the world he did a solo album and it did pretty well
The majority of the groups that are listed on here are mostly from the 80s, except for the Blackbyrds and Instant funk.
The segment on Ready for the World also photos of the Force MD’s…how much dos this guy know what he’s talking about?!
SOS Band is amazing, timeless and classic! Saw them live. Was dancing on my seat and haven’t stopped yet… 💃🏻😊
RFTW , pictures way off one was the Force MD'S another was the Pharcyde
A mixed tape of these groups = JAMS
They are still playing in LittleRock Arkansas to this day boo‼️‼️‼️‼️👏👍🫵🏽
They used a picture of Force MDs at 6:22 when talking about RFTW! 🙄
You Are In My System is on heavy rotation on my playlist.
My high school and college years, i knew most of these r n bgroups.
Dude WTF…What about Roger Troutman & ZAPP?
A lot of jhery curls back then! 😂
I love some of these....Ready for the world and the System...yes
What happened to Loose Ends?
Still on tour next year.
Yeah! Can't forget about Loose Ends!!!❤
Ooooooooo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What about SHALAMAR? DAZZ BAND? MARY JANE GIRLS? NEW EDITION? THE WHISPERS?

The System has not disappeared. They are still at work, writing, composing, and producing. Do your homework bot!
Blk Bands are Wonderful & Magical . They Vanish 🪄🌃
Everybody and their mother had a copy of Planet Rock.
My Grandma had one too😂❤!
YOU MUST SELL YOUR SOULLLLL...that could be the "ultimate" issue? idk...so much has come out about Hollyweird...
Just about every group on hereI've seen them perform
AS MUSIC TRENDS CHANGED......
Atlantic Starr forever!
I when to Kentucky State when Midnight Star were there they were playing gigs around the city I saw them play many times they were really good KSU4EVER 🐎
What about the Heavy Metal Group Living Colour?
Do your research on what happened to Midnight Star bot!
Gotta love the random Pharcyde pic in the middle of Ready For The World.
Do your research as to why Sharon Bryant left Atlantic Starr and how Barbara Weathers became the lead vocalist out of Greensboro, NC.
Instant Funk, the best guitar line on the planet you got my mind made up, you can get it get it girl anytime tonight is fine
Midnight star..circles go round it..stop playing🔥🔥
It would be nice if you knew what you are talking about… Most of these are still performing. Research better!!!
You should have included the group STARPOINT in this 1980's funk mix!!!!!
Surface biggest hit was Happy not what you said
Why you picture Force MDs with Ready for the world, then you pictured Shai with Troop
Instant Funk is still around and still making new music today, including Raymond and Kym original members
Mercy!! That was so much jheri curl juice in one video, had to put my phone in rice to dry it out😢
So, Black Culture Rewind is a creation of a non-black individual, that can't pronounce some of the names in these groups, and doesn't really know much about the black bands he's narrating? Nice money grab.
NO DEGRADING of women and no vulgarity 🤔
Was it just me or was that the Gap Band
Baby Face and L.A. Reid went on to become a force in the music world after the breakup.😊
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately, Eugene (the one who was also in "The Boys Club") passed away last year. The Jets is still my favorite group.
Denton Sharon Bryant from Atlantic Starr made a hit single and if I mistaken the person that was in that video what's Denzel?
@@jessechilton708 yes Denzel was n her video
@@jessechilton708 Yes he was in Foolish Heart
The SOS Band did NOT vanished. They still perform together. Mary is in her 80's and they are trying to work in a new lead singer.
20 is a good start
They showed a couple of pictures of the group Shai while discussing Troop...
Ok so I knew I wasn't trippin 🤦🏿♀️😄😄

the computer voiced narrator cracks me up.
6:23 that's the Pharcyde not RFTW
I forgot about lynx and last stand
And I loved the song midnight special by the system
Larry Blackmon's codpiece should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Museum.
The Jets are not a Black group.
