This group may not of had the voices of New edition, but they had more street songs. Plus their dancing was amazing!!!

Remember "spread my wings" and "all i do is think of you"? Plus "thats my attitude"?

Also "I'm not soupped", despite the "my perogative" style lyrics, is a good rnb song.

They had a debut album out earlier then "attitude" which was self titled.

It had the hits "marmacita" and "my heart", both again with great videos with killer dancing.

1992's "deeper" was a letdown though, with only the summery "only when I laugh" being a realyl good track.

Seriously, their choreography was very slick. Even Usher picked "spread my wings" on a countdown he did years ago. That video has awsome dancing.....

I definitely remember this group. Spread my wings was the jam back in 1990 and I do remember seeing the video on BET's Video Soul just like it was yesterday.

i still got the video collection. Fucking great dancers. "spread my wings" is a classic. the dark rooftop thing etc is soo good.

They had the jerry curls on their first hit "marmacita".....

You're right, Troop did not have the voices of New Edition...and for that, they should consider themselves blessed. Nothing against the NE posse -- they're cool with me, but virtuosic singers they're not (outside of Johnny, but he's a newer recruit).

Attitude was a great album. I heard "Spread My Wings" on a radio station last week; that track brings back memories...

Yup..I remember when Troop came out with Mamicita..I was maybe 9...they were so big among black girls...their version of NKOTB..they reminded me more of Ready for the world than NE..maybe it was the Gheri curl..LOL!

but my daddy swears that the Jackson 5 originally did ALL I DO IS THINK OF YOU...I have never heard anyone ever associate that song with the Jackson 5.....does anyone know?

Yep that wasa jackson 5 song. It was off "moving vialations" i think? One of their later lesser known albums.....

Like 5 dancing M.C. Hammers.....

voices of New Edition????? you mean budget and promotion right???? the only 2 in NE that could sing were Ricky Bell & Johnny Gill...Troop were good that takes me back to Jr.High they were really popular....still love "Romeo & Juliet","All I do is think of you",and "I will aleways love you"

Hell yaeh, of course I remember got ALL their CD's (even the 1's they released thru independant labels). The 1st 1st 1 had trax produced by Chuckii Booker, Brownmark & Gerald Levert.

Hey, I guess I can learn something new every day cause I certainly didn't know that song was a remake. Now I must go hear the original.

I LOVED SPREAD MY WINGS!!! ESPECIALLY THE LONG GUITAR VERSION. THAT WAS ABOUT MY FAVORITE SONG MY TROOP. I ALSO LIKED ALL I DO IS THINK OF YOU, THAT'S MY ATTITUDE, AND SOUPED.
