shit, i loved that album and I still got that shit!!! "Up in Smoke" was like the soundtrack to my 9th grade year in high school....brings back memories like a muthafucka!!!! They had a pretty decent album, but was kind of disappointed when they were "poof" gone....
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

damn, i loved their style, it was like a soul-funk-mellow kind of groove they had. like they was before their time or something. i wish they could have churned out another album. Just watched the video, so many memories... smile Damon Dash sought of took away from the vid though, they could have done without his presence being in there.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Yes they did. Buying their CD and hearing that cover made me realize I was seriously late in getting a Rose Royce compilation.

I just saw their video last night. There were 2 versions of that video too. Their CD was pretty good and it came out at the right time. A lot of the songs had that "Marvin 1972 - Trouble Man" vibe.

They had a new video out..I think it was a parody of "Purple Rain".

"Pull It" was my favorite track off the first CD. That song captured the vibe of Marvin Gaye and Eddie Kendricks in my opinion.

Christopher mentioned "Bring Back Your Love". It was a little generic, vocally. It should not be confused with "Just Leave Your Love" which was a hot track in my opinion.
