Yeah, he was is a band since the late 70, but they never did anything as they were never signed to a label. I read that on plenty of his bios but it always goes from that to Make It Last Forever. They skipped this completely.

Interesting stuff. Now Keith Sweat has been incorrectly credited
as GQ member Keith Crier. Keith Sweat to my knowledge has never
had anything to do with GQ. I thought Wikipedia had corrected that
error last year sometimes.
Yes if you look up the band GQ,they state that Keith Crier and Keith
Sweat are not the same. Hell you can look at Keith Crier and Keith
Sweat and tell they look nothing alike. Keith Sweat never had anything
to do with GQ

I know that, but just that one song. It does have Keith Sweat's name on the record and is the same label as his earlier work from 74.

I just looked it up. During GQ's successful tenure i knew they recorded
on Arista. They recorded their final single on the independent label
Stadium records in 1984. I guess this is where they crossed paths with
a then unknown Keith Sweat. I always knew that was b.s when they said
he was a member of GQ. lol
I also see 2 of the GQ members produced Keith's Lucky seven record.
So even though Keith Sweat was never a member of the group,they
did have a little footnote of history together.

Yeah,there has always been some confusion about Keith Sweat being a member of GQ lol In the liner notes to one of the 'Phat Trax' CDs,they claim that he was a member of GQ.I picked up their album,read the credits and found that there was a member named Keith Crier.For many years,I thought it was Keith Sweat,lol.
