Does anyone remember the 80 Rn'B band DreamBoy. They had hits with "Don't Go," in early 1984 and also "I Promise (I Do Love You).

i see their album on vinyl in the used bins a lot, but i haven't listened to any of their stuff. i remember "don't go", but just barely.

I remember them, Don't Go is one of my favorite slow jams

Yeah they had some catchy slow cut's and they we're just one of many bands cashing in on tha haps (sounds) in Mpls. another song: No One Can Treat Me Like U,

I definately remember "Don't Go". It was a great slow jam. When Ready For The World released their first single "Tonight", I thought it was Dreamboy. Very similar sound.

I really like both songs. I'm surprised that I've never seen their name on any of the "Prince wannabes" or "sound a likes" threads...It sounded to me like they were trying to re-create Prince's sound (Do Me, Baby)on "I Promise (I Do Love You)".

"Don't Go" reminds me of The Time's "Oh, Baby".

I definitly remember that group. Don't go was a nice slo jam back in the day.

I dug "Promise"

I still have their self-titled album with 6 songs on it...I still havent listened to it to this day.

I have their debut album on vinyl.Contains the hit slow jam "Don't Go",but my favorite song is the second single "Walk The Streets".Their music was heavily influenced by the Minneapolis Sound,and the lead singer was terrible,but I liked their album for awhile.
