Who remembers Dino? "That's the way it's got to be cause that's the way I like it....that's the way it's got to be cause that's the way I like it" His debut album '24/7' was decent....I also liked the song "Never 2 Much Of U".

I do, I do!

I don't remember what any of his songs sound like. I just remember chuckling at his name everytime I heard it mentioned.

I remember his second CD in 1991 had a very good remake of the 1984 slow jam "Gentle (Calling Your Name)"


It looked like he was on his way,but then he just faded away.

I remember my sister playing 24-7 no stop as a kid
I liked the song the first 10,000 times she played it though

I'll pass, thanks.

I remember him. "24/7" was the jam and "I like it" too. "Summer girls" was wack though.

I remember the song.

I definately remember those songs....

I do! Wasn"t he the Flintstone's Dog? Seriously though. I remember all his songs. I also remember Donnie Simpson on Video Soul calling him a 90's version of KC & The Sunshine Band.

current pic of dino...well, kinda current, its from 01. boy has gotten mafugly.

I remember this cat...I was a fan and got the chance 2 meet him in 1991 in Stratford, CT at one of his relative's houses. He was really cool and the "Swingin'" CD had some good jamz on it. But his best song is "Endlessly" off his 1993 release "The Way I Am." That song is a classic love jam and if u can't get laid 2 that track there is something wrong with u.
By the way, when I met him his girl was with him and she was SMOKING HOT. I just met them and she gave me a big kiss on the lips. TOO SEXY!

That makes sense.Dino's song "I Like It" is basically a re-write of the 1975 KC & The Sunshine Band hit "That's The Way I Like It".

DecaturStone said:

"24/7" is a nice song,even though it sounds alot like Al B Sure's "Night And Day".

so where's he now? no updates?

menace said:

click on the link that SOS Gemini provided above.Apparently,he's been producing some stuff.

SoulAlive said:

Yeah, All he needed was those funky brothers with the afros playing the horns while pop-locking

jds311 said:

Damn, i didn't think anyone had his "the way iam" album. the first 2 tracks are killer funky workouts. "sock it to ya" in particular


Heres his remake of "ooh child". At least he does something different with the song. U can dance to this.

LOL Dino is so corny.


I still got a couple of his music videos ("gentle" and "romeo", which looked exactly like Father mc's "lisa baby" video)

"i like it" is almost newjackswing i guess, though hsi "24/7" album is more freestyle though. Each of his 3 albums has a couple of cool tracks on 'em.

I actually do remember that song. I dug it then but if I listened to it now then I would probably say "Oh god, this is sooooo 80's".

NWF said:

Yes, "I like it" does sound very dated. Its also one of the cheesiest songs ever.

SoulAlive said:

That's probably why his vocal style was compared to KC.He had a jam called "Summer Girls"back in '87.

TonyVanDam said:

yep. As is said, I still got 'em somewhere on video. "gentle" is in black and white i believe. As soulalive said, its a good ballad.

larryluvlife said:

Yeah, if I had to choose between the two songs (and there were no ice picks around for me to jam in my ears), i'd be "Summergirls"...

Good lord the "I like it" video is dated now, has it really been that long already?? The dances had me crackin' up cuz I still do them Dino looked back then like Ryan Seacrest, but now? Is that really him in the white shirt? well, it has been 17 years . . . . .

4everYoung said:

It's crazy,those dances we did in the 80s at one point,Dino even tries to do the "Cabbage Patch",lol.

thesexofit said:

Most late-80s songs didn't age well imo,but I think this song still packs a punch the only thing is,I'd be embarassed to play it when someone else is around,lol.

thesexofit said:

I love "Gentle (Calling Your Name)"! That's actually a remake of a 1984 song by a guy named Frederick.Dino does a good job with it.I can't believe it didn't become a bigger hit.
