  • The list of male R&B groups that exploded in the ‘90s is long and diverse. Some are immediately distinguishable from hearing the first note of one of their songs like Boyz II Men, Jodeci or Dru Hill. Others, like Special Generation may have flown under the radar but, still produced equally tremendous talent. The group consisted of Marquet Robinson, Kendrick Washington, Fernando Allen Carter, Charles Salter and Maurice Dowdell.

    I can't believe I didn't remember Special Generation until you all made a video on them. I have remembered Oaktown 3 5 7 and B Angie B for decades. Thanks for the reminder. Spark of Love really showcased their vocal prowess. The acapella harmonies and the accompanying video featuring then newcomer Nia Long are STELLAR! Big ups to Hammer for giving them their big break! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

    I always wondered who that group was that was singing in the background of "Have you see her" video by MC Hammer. I was just recently searching a few months ago and still no name was mentioned in any google results about who they were. Then I decided to watch this random video because I wanted to know who this group was and I hear this. Now I finally know.
