What is the name of the guy in the purple shirt and hat, also the brown jacket and hat, that sings...

My lemon drop
My lollipop
Girl, candy...must be your name!

in this video:



I'm asking because I've been on the phone for the last 4 hours with a friend that I haven't talked to in 15 years...strolling all up and down memory lane and this heffa just reminded me of how I was the only one in our clique that adored him and I can't remember his name for shit!

Somebody me out!

Sorry I can't answer your question, but man I loved that song!

I want to say either it's Lance Alexander or Tony Tolbert (prof T)

Prof T had the had. Lance wore the "high-top fade".

It was prof t with the michael cooper like voice.
Lance and prof t were session producers for flyte tyme before
they formed their own group for a minute. I have their first album
on cassette and their second on cd.

What was the 1st album? What was the 2nd? I have this album with "Sweet on U" and "I Got A Thang 4 U". Can't remember the title of it now.

The first album was titled Lo-Key? Where dey at?
The second album was titled back to da howse.
I liked the second album better than the first. The second album
was very underrated.

I TOTALLY forgot about "Back 2 da House". I had it for a while and never got into it. I eventually sold it at a resale shop. If I see it again, I might get it another try.

I wasn't that impressed with the first album. It was a bit too cheesy and corny. All of the skits and Shawonda stores were annoying.

daPrettyman said:

Yeah i hated shawonda too. It was none of that crap on the second album that's
why i say it was a lot better. The first half of the album were party tunes and the second half were ballads. If you dig prof t's michael cooperesque vocals then you will definitely dig the ballads on this album. He also does a tribute song to the isley brothers on one song and he sounds like he ripped ronald's voice right out of his throat. It's one song called we ain't right that's hilarious where he sings about him and another woman cheating on their respective mates and they're sneaking in hotels and trojans in the room.
Prof t dialouges at the end of the song:
aww girl we can't keep going like this, we gonna end up on oprah
I don't know bout you girl but i'm goin to church in the mornin
aww naw naw naw naw naw naw naw naw we ain't right

That's what I was looking for! Thanks, Orgers! As always...you guys rock!

phunkdaddy said:

Right on mate. That is Prof T. One of my fav groups outta Fltyetyme along side Solo (remember them). Lance & Prof T continued working with Jam & Lewis well after they left Lo-Key. They were in-house writers & producers. I still keep in touch with Lance. I miss those good 'ol days

I love "Attention: The Shawanda Story"! "I Got a Thang for You" was great as well. Not really a fan of "Sweet on U"... it's OK.

I didn't care for the album version of Sweet on U, but the remix was slammin'. It was a tad faster and the arrangement was different.

I dusted off this cd this weekend. I must say it is pretty bad. I did manage to re-discover "I Wanna Make U Mine". That song was decent and could have been a single.

U aint never lied. I hum those boards under the 2nd singers vocals all day, most days. I'd pay money for the music w/ the background and no lead vocals. That thang is cold.

I dont think I could take the uptempo's off their first CD anymore. But I still love the slow jams like "Don't you know" (with Jellybean Johnson doing a nice solo), "hey there pretty lady" "stay awhile" aswell as a few others like "i wanna make you mine".

I do own their 2nd CD too, but have yet to play it.
