That’s actually my dad and his brothers they just stopped doing music because you know all 4 one stole their whole thing and won a grammy off of it I’m pretty sure so Yeah they just live a normal life now
*This is the version that I heard, before I’d heard anything about “All 4 One”.* *(Edit:) What name do they go by, now? I cannot find anything else about them.*
I remember this and I remember afd it’s funny because then afo came and I was like I know the letters was afd I had a hard time trying to convince people that I thought the song was a little different and the groups name was the letters AFD 😂 can we just get this video titled under this groups name so that it exists as that
That part! I went through the same thing💯👀 but I knew I wasn’t crazy… I might’ve tried to convince myself that somehow AFD became AFO because it still wasn’t A40 lmao but THIS song and group I knew to be and I wasn’t crazy and neither was you “they” were lol it was just so close in timing that “they” missed it
Farid I was the one helping you on the phone today. I watched this video and it’s amazing! Keep going, never give up! You ARE worth it! I’m watching for you to blow the top off this world! God bless!
What I don't understand is how A41 was able to go all these years without being outed as fake. There is NO WAY IN HELL that a group sounds EXACTLY the same. These brothers got robbed of their opportunity to become one of the biggest R&B groups of the 90s. F**K A41 and the company who signed them!
😂 I get what you mean I remember AFD but All 4 One did a good job as well it’s crazy how they came out with the same remake (because both are) and then eclipsed this group. All said though I never heard anything else from AFD All 4 One continued and made more music they are still a solid group beyond this song🤷🏽♂️ Fact is it was once very common for different artists to do the same song most times one becomes most associated with it. In this case I believe most people first heard This version and then either got confused or simply didn’t hear more from this group and that is how it got overshadowed.
@rhomeNmpire That I can agree w. I like the Tyme's original as well, I just don't have the same emotional connection to it since it wasn't the era I grew up in.
I knew it. I remembered a group doing this song in ‘93 and then a few months later All 4 One came out. I thought I was goin crazy for a minute. But, I KNEW there was another group who did this song before All 4 One, I just couldn’t remember their name. I only saw this video once on BET back in ‘93 and never saw it again until today. Thank God for UA-cam. Anybody have the backstory of how All 4 One came out with the same cover song only a few months after this version? Never seen anything like this before. It would be like a group coming out today and doing a remake of Jodeci’s “Forever My Lady” and then a few months later, another group coming out and doing the same thing.
This is the first time I have heard this version. It blew my mind at the similarities that this group had vs All-4-One. I have seen most of the comments giving AFD their fair share of compliments for their original version of this song, BUT, nobody beats the voice of Jamie Jones, one of the lead singers of All-4-One. Somebody has to say it and it is a shame that no one is giving love to All-4-One for their voice talents. If you want to be truly real about who sang the song better, please remember the original song, So Much In Love, came out back in the 1960’s. So every rendition of the song no matter how much alike it sounds, goes back to the original that was an Oldies hit. Bottom line, the song lyrics are the real gem of this song no matter who sings this beautiful song.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS!!!! OMG I FOUND IT! FINALLY!! THIS IS THE "ORIGINAL"! (Though the actual original was done back in the 50's or 60's?? I believe- my mom had that one). BUT A.F.D HAD IT BEFORE IT WAS "GIVEN" TO ALL 4 ONE!!! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP!! THIS IS THE BEST VERSION!
To the people saying this version was BETTER than All 4 One- This IS the All 4 One version... these are just Models. When All 4 One first came out, record producers didn’t think people would buy the album because of how the group looked: the lead singer was fat and geeky looking... and two of them were white. So they grabbed these five models, and gave them the name “AFD” and attempted to do the “Milli Vanilli” thing. Don’t know why it didn’t work , but the actual group All 4 One came out not long after that. And people forgot all about these “AFD” fellas.
I remember buying the All 4 one version because I had only seen this video once & fell in love with the song but didn't remember the artist. All4One scooped in on this & stole the shine because I'm sure people made the same mistake I did. Bigger record company bigger push and that trash version got bigger. Was so PISSES I had the wrong version. I'd just met my husband & was on the phone with him late night & this video came on. ONCE! By the time we were engaged a month later, All4One was showing up everywhere singing it. 24 married years later, here we are. I love this better than the original and the All4One trash version
I was there, I have the "real" story about AFD, Tim O'Brien (SRC) and how ALL-4-One was created to capitalize on the heat of this version sung & arranged by AFD.
Omg I’ve been looking for this Version ....The first time I ever heard the song was by them and I could never find it again after that the next time I heard it was by all for one and I was like this is not the same they can’t even hit the notes right I was so disappointed ....But I’m glad I finally found the video just wish it was a better quality but this will have to do❤️AFD
Finally! I can't tell you how happy I am to see this video.... I remember staying at my cousins watching the box waiting for this video to come on every time.... We love this version! I couldn't stand All4One .... anytime someone played them I turned it off... seriously!
Absolutely agree! I was so pissed when All 4 One released their version.. I was pissed that AFD wasn't getting their due credit! Theirs was FAR, FAR better.
Yes these guys are my family...Really!!!! They are all my cousins in real life and I remember being so young and watching their video at one of their houses on VHS of course lol and I was so amazed and loved the song. I was happy when I heard it on TV one day but became very upset because I seen they weren't my cousins but instead of a foreign group "All for One" who all four doesn't even sing this song at all (like the light skin one they cut the song off before he can supposedly even sing his part because obviously he can't really sing) and here all four of my cousins did sing this song because they are the originals to this song and some people won't even give them props with recognition is due (WHICH IS EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THIS SONG). LOVE LOVE THIS SONG AND CAN LISTEN TO IT AT ANY GIVEN TIME!! LOVE YOU ALL MY COUSINS "AFD" XOXO FOREVER -B
I loved your cousins version of this song! I pray that you and them are all doing well. Hope they have new music out so we can keep up with them and their talented voices!
Lol boohoo go cry in a corner 😂 all y’all complain about them not being the main artist for the song, CLEARLY MTV didn’t think they were enough 🥲 song has been around since 63 I’m sure even AFD “stole” it… but I will admit, I love this version as well especially cuz the flow is different but y’all salty 💀
Actually, it's also a rendition 🙂 Original is by The Tymes in 1963 👇🏽 ua-cam.com/video/zsGy-ndBhUc/v-deo.html There's been several renditions since then
I searched from 1997 (when I first got internet access) until 2008, when Yusuf posted this. And I had hoped that OTHER versions would have appeared since then, but no! I find this really hard to believe. But here we are, 27 years after the fact... In a world where nearly EVERYTHING eventually ends up on the Internet, AFD has resisted but for this one example. Seems strange. The song was a very big regional urban hit in the Southeastern U.S.
I'm soo happy I finally found this version. I remember running my mother's bill up from requesting this all the time on Jukebox...then it disappeared and all of a sudden All 4 one blows up with it smh
I was SO pissed when I saw All 4 One's version, Tiffany... I really was. At the time, I was in the thick of trying to break into the industry, and the situation with AFD versus All 4 One really taught me something about the unbridled treachery of the business! It was a good lesson. Needless to say, I am peacefully NOT a part of the music business today. :-)
I feel vindicated now. You guys don't understand how many times I went to the record store looking for this single getting strange stares.... "uh don't you mean All For One" . i'm like NO!!! IT WAS AFD!!! lol
EricSuede I know what you mean! I been looking for this song (video) for a long time! IMO <. this Version is much better than" All for One". But can't find song no where?! 80's forever!
YES YES YES! I LOVED this version. I remember being sooooo angry when I heard All4One. They were awful. I was like, "what is this mess?!?!" "Where are the sexy brothers with perfect harmony?"The Box played this video all the time.
What happened to these guys?
That’s actually my dad and his brothers they just stopped doing music because you know all 4 one stole their whole thing and won a grammy off of it I’m pretty sure so Yeah they just live a normal life now
I wish somebody would post the actual song of this to UA-cam.
Omg imagine if they had their actual recognition...they wouldve been huge instead of looked over
We need to make sure this music is preserved. This the only version of this song I can find anywhere. Did these guys make anymore music?
*This is the version that I heard, before I’d heard anything about “All 4 One”.* *(Edit:) What name do they go by, now? I cannot find anything else about them.*
ITS 2024 AND I JUST FOUND THIS...BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR 20 YEARS....FINALLY ...
Same here, been seriously looking for this version for YEARS!!!!
@@mirrors23 I FEEL YOU
I like how this remake was a little more muted, less instrumental in the background. More acapella-like, than the version produced for all 4 one. ❤
This is actually the original of this was posted 16 years ago and all 4 one’s was posted 10 years ago
I remember this and I remember afd it’s funny because then afo came and I was like I know the letters was afd I had a hard time trying to convince people that I thought the song was a little different and the groups name was the letters AFD 😂 can we just get this video titled under this groups name so that it exists as that
OMG.. I am not crazy...I use to swear to people that there was a cover version before All 4 One....

Maaan here in 2023 been looking for this for years all 4 one jacked this song this version is the best
NO DOUBT
it's a shame all 4 one gets the most acknowledgement for this song
Average
Huh
Loved this version!

I disagree, i think A41's version was inferior to AFD's @@rhomeNmpire
@@Letitallhangout not my point. My point is that both groups did a remake of the same song. One group continued successfully and one didn’t.
@@Letitallhangout and in all honesty I think the original is the best. The Tymes
@rhomeNmpire That I can agree w. I like the Tyme's original as well, I just don't have the same emotional connection to it since it wasn't the era I grew up in.
So this is the original.❤❤❤l
Omg..I remembered these guys..but I think they had a remixed version to this if I can remember..they played it on bet

1990s people and fashion are the best....💯💯💯
Used to Hoop with these cats for a Stretch. Song still as dope as when I heard it back then. I see u Roy.
It’s funny that’s this is the only version I think of when I sing this song in my head!!!
I have been trying to find this for YEARS! I always liked this version better.
All4one version is better
They both sound the same
@@truthhurtz8517 true
kick rocks afd was 1st
AFD all the way
At least they didn’t have to steal a song
Damn I never heard this groups version first time in 2021 I like a41 version but never even knew this one existed
Back 5 years later 🔥

Yusuf sang this song at my wedding in 2016.

9to5 they are doing just fine

... that’s PROBABLY why you have no record of these fellas on google or anywhere else ...
But remember, Milli Vanilli couldn't sing. This brothers can! Lol. Better than All 4 one as well
No. That’s my point. This IS all-4-one… these guys are lip syncing
All For One can’t even sing this good. This is a whole complete LIE
Listen to both songs . There is NO difference.
I finally found this !!!!

Still one of my favorite songs EVER. I HATED All -4-One's version. It was washed out. This was the real deal. I wanted to date them ALL.
"Washed out." Perfectly said. Pale. Colorless (ironically). And above all, talentless! AFD should have been the group to achieve fame, hands down.
The lead singer was my teenage thrist trap foreal lol. I loathed All-4-One for stealing their entire arrangement
