I like that female lead singer of Rose Royce (Ricci Benson).She's not the original lead singer (Gwen Dickey),but she's good.In the 90s,she was still touring with Rose Royce and I saw them in concert several times.She is GREAT.Sadly,she doesn't tour with them anymore.

when did it come on? i missed it again. I usually would catch it saturday nights about 1:30 in the morning. I 'll have to look for it next saturday

I have this one on tape. I almost choked on my coffee just now, SOULALIVE! yeah this episode wasn't good back then either. those Rose Royce songs were horrible, even if the lady tried making them seem good. Donna was cool. There were some episodes that came out around that time that were really really good. A tribute to luther, one for anita, loose ends, jody watley. I hope they get to those.

SoulAlive said:

I didn't know this. I know the people who work with the group. I think I remember them just comming back from a tour around 97. Had she toured with them since then?

Anyone know where I can find the track "The Girl Next Door." I can't find it on any compilations, or anything. TRack was slamming.

That episode wasn't too good. However, Chico Debarge was funny. That sweater/pants contraption was hilarious. I can't wait for the 70s episodes.

I see the vinyl on ebay. I know that album was printed on cd, but I haven't seen it in years.

As for compilations, I don't think you will find Girl Next Door (unless you luck up on it on iTunes). I know that another song from Chico's Motown days is included on the Motown Year by Year 1987 compilation (I don't see one for 1986).

I always said that talk to me was basically a what have you done for me lately
knock off. Evidence of that was when one of my homies 6 years younger saw the video for talk to me for the first time stated the same thing.

Thanks ... I wish it was on something else other then Vinyl. Some needs to put together a best of Chico DeBarge CD.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

U wouldn't have but about 6 tracks, maybe 7.

phunkdaddy said:

It DID sound like a "Control"-esque knock off to me too, lol, and I am reminded of "What Have You Done for Me Lately" when I hear it.

daPrettyman said:

It'll be more the 7, they can include his Motown material and his material after he was released. That should be more then 7 plus they can add strong album cuts.

I loved his pants and his boots. If his shirt had not been cut off above the naval, I would have loved it too. I love the neckline of the shirt and the strap or whatever the hell it was on it. His outfit was what I love....wild and outrageous.....except for the cut off part. I love that he looked feminine but the cut off part made him look fish.

They were keepin it in the family

"Baby I've Been Watching You" was another good one. They should release a "Best of Chico DeBarge" from those 80s albums only. Hell, maybe two albums on one CD type thing. Anything besides that 90s/2000 stuff.

vainandy said:

Wah, his 90's joints were jammin'. You didn't like "No Guarantee?"
[Edited 10/1/07 21:11pm]

All I remember hearing from him on the radio after the 80s were over was either midtempo or slow. If he had some jams out, the radio in my area sure didn't play them.

She hasn't toured with them since the late 90s.I saw Rose Royce a few years ago and I was sooooo disappointed.It was just one girl and two guys onstage,singing to a taped recording of instrumental tracks No band,no horns,no guitar...that's not the Rose Royce that I know and admire!

for those who were wondering....this episode originally aired on March 21,1987
