I liked the 2nd album "Attitude" because of Chuckii Booker's production on "Spread My Wings" and "All I Do".

Most recently he's did some production work on Lionel Richie's last album and he's been musical director on more than a few tours.

I'm a Troop fan (but I could never bring myself to capitalize it because of that silly acronym lol). Great singles, but Attitude was the only album I really loved. "I Will Always Love You" is pretty underrated.

What does the acronym stand for?

I never owned one of their albums, but I remember getting a kick out of them performing on The Apollo. In fact, I heard "Mamacita" recently and it reminded me how much I liked that song.

He guested on Brian McKnight's radio show a few months back. Even played some of his tunes on keys...

Agreed... 'Spread My Wings' is a highlight from the period IMO.

The next album "Deepa" had a couple of nice cuts too. 'Only When I Laugh' was my favorite on there.

I love "only when I laugh". "Deepa" is not as good as "attitude" or even their first album, but I love "Only when I laugh". Such a breezy, happy number.
