Thank you guys for almost triggering my memory. There was another song out about this time. R&B artist.
A minor one hit wonder. Of course I' drawing a blank right now thinking of this song but I'm not sure it was Bobby Nunn but there was a song I always associated with this one. They always seem to be played near each other on the radio . . . .
Now I' frustrated that I can't remember.

BTW, anyone remember a song called Songwriter circa 1982-83? It wasn't a single as far as I can recall. I want to say it was the Whispers but that doesn't sound right. . .

Here I am. You know I love some Bobby Nunn and "She's Just A Groupie" is just one of many great jams from him such as:

Private Party
Sexy Sassy
Got To Get Up On It
Hanging Out At The Mall

I don't have either of his two albums. However, I have several 45s from the two and every one of them are uptempo and very Prince sounding. See my above post.

Don't forget: Do You Look That Good In The Morning"

Remember the group, "The Jets"? They had that song "Rocket 2 U"? That was Bobby Nunn. He wrote and sang the song!

you guys are so helpful here.
I am thinking of a black male singer, a contemporary of O'Bryan and Nunn.
THe song I'm thinking of was a slow song. I keep remembering an H but not sure if was the first or last name.
Right now I can't think of the song but I looked for it for years . . .
We'll see if anything triggers something more specific.

nod interestingly,Bobby first offered that song to Earth Wind and Fire,who were recording a reunion album in the summer of 1987.They refused the song,so Bobby gave it to the Jets and it became a big hit for them.Personally,I think the lyrics are too "bubblegum" for the grown men in EW&F to be singing,lol.
