- Raphael is in a genre that doesn't get much play/noteriety - Aaron Hall's fire was stolen by copycat-voice R. Kelly I think Aaron Hall in turn got his vocal style from Charlie Wilson. Charlie Wilson > Aaron Hall > R. Kelly > Montell Jordan  It's no secret. During Guy's heyday the group admitted that they were influenced by the gap band. And charlie wilson upon the gap band's Round Trip album stated that's why they came back in the game because they influenced the guy/teddy riley sound. Don't laugh at my funk

Charlie and Aaron did a song together on the Boomerang soundtrack. Yeah i remember. It was pretty good too. Do you remember Charlie's first solo album you turn my life around? The single sprung on me was a message to artists that bit his style. It seemed like Uncle Charlie was trying to send a message that he was still king.
I have that album on cassette and it was actually a darn good set. Don't laugh at my funk

He wasn't a part of their 3rd-biggest album, Heart Break, but he was on the other 3 multi-platinum albums they released. "3 of their 4 biggest-selling albums" Okay, gotcha...  | |

- Raphael is in a genre that doesn't get much play/noteriety - Aaron Hall's fire was stolen by copycat-voice R. Kelly So so true...LOL I may be wrong.... but It seams more often than not... but I do beleive that the rate of success after belonging to a successful group is not that great. They may do OK... but seldom as good as the group did. The shame is that their leaving almost always destroys the group. They sometimes try to get it back later... but once thatboat has sailed... its hard to catch another. En Vogue comes to mind. Dawn ruined that group with her shenanigans. 10+ years later Dawn finally decides to get back with the group. It's too late now. The climate of the music industry has changed since 1997. Plus, they are too old now to make a real comeback. Such a shame. I am surprised they even wanted her back in the group. | |

It's called "being broke".  nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher
