Both these songs seemed to of come out at the same time (1988 I think) and whilst "night and day" is a sorta club classic, Dino's surprisenly soulful "24/7" sounds very simular and is just as soulful, if not more so! Infact, maybe Dino's song came out fisrt?


Dino gets bigger props in one sense as he poduced,arranged,wrote his on his own, which was cool.....Al b's is still a jam though!


So I prefer Dino's "24/7" over Al B Sures "night and day", how about u?

I like both of these songs and yes,they are kinda similar,aren't they?

So it's a tie



Speaking of Dino...does anyone remember Dino's song "Never Too Much Of U",an overlooked single from his '24/7' album? That's the song that made me go out and buy his album.

Yeah, but who got more play on VH-1??? Who had the uni-brow?
Hello? Cliche' black and white video????
Dino, I smacketh thee.

Oh my god! I used to love 24/7 by Dino but Al B. Sure is the man. I might have to give to it Mr. Sure!

Whatever happened to Dino?

There is a fansite devoted to Dino that explains what he's been up to...

http://www.angelfire.com/...allcorner/


I know he recorded a few other albums after '24/7' but he pretty much faded away by the mid-90s.I liked his 1991 album and the superb remake of the 1984 Frederick hit "Gentle (Calling Your Name)".

I was amazed that he had a fansite! It's quite good too actually!


I had his "seingin'" album as well as "24/7"! I was never a big fan though! "romeo" and "swingin'" r slammin tracks!


"24/7" was by far his best track! Soulful too.....

First of all. I was Mrs Sure in High School. I was in love with his big fine ass high yellow self. TASTEEEE!

U reckon Dino wws good looking then? I reckon he looked kinda weird and creepy, with odd hair.....but that look was perfect 4 his videos though!

I always thought that both of those songs (and also Ray Parker Jr's "After Dark") sounded like up-tempo variations on Janet Jackson's "Funny How Time Flies" ...I mean, it seemed like evryone was using a similar progression for a while...

Dino was pretty odd looking wasn't he? Not Mr. Sure though. He was hot!

24/7

ya'll jazz buffs might be suprised 2 know that on "24/7" jeff lorber's the 1n playin the keyboard fills which make's the whole song come alive 4 me....but as 4 these soundin similar 2 "funny how time flies", i always thought janet's "funny" sounded a lot like michael's "lady in my life or maybe janet jimmy and terry were at least inspired by it...

Jeff Lorber is all over keyboards on his "swingin" album too! Did he do any solo work? I'm pretty sure he did?.....

No way! I love that extra love! The OVERWEIGHT LOVA!
You know he's a syndicated radio host now? It's called the Secret Garden (fans know where that title came from). I haven't heard it, but I imagine it's love songs.

Woa, I sound like an Al B groupie!

Dang!!! Thank God Prince doesn't let himself go like this....

Damn, I never thought Al B would be the last person to get fat! Wonder how Dino compares to him.....in both their heyday, Dino looked alot worse, but now it's proberly the other way round!


Does Al B even produce 4 anyone anymore?
