    His song "Turned Away" is absolutely one of my top 10 of the 80s. Love this dude. And he did great with Janet Jackson on her history setting Rhythm Nation World Tour...STILL the biggest debut tour by any artist in music history with over 2 million in attendance over the course of 9 months.

    I always wondered why he seemed to disappear after his initial success. Then I read up on him and found out he really was more interested in producing and being behind the scenes. The thing is, he was the total package: incredible singer, jaw-dropping dancer, and gorgeous. But to find out he didn't want to be a "superstar" was actually pretty cool. Now I love him even more!

    Man, I was listening to a couple of cuts from Chuckii's first album the other day in the car, and I must say the brother's music, his style was fresh. I even listened to a couple of songs he had produced for Troop called, "Spread My Wings", and "All I Do Is Think Of You. He was ahead of his time.

    Why he is not mentioned along with Jam &Lewis, LA &Babyface, Teddy Riley is beyond me. He truly defines the word “Unsung” on so many levels. I recently heard an interview where he was called the “Rodney Dangerfield of R&B” pretty much sums up that the industry will not put everybody on, only the ones they feel deemed to fit their “agenda”

    • @GrantH
      @GrantH Рік тому +1

      Yeah it’s a shame he’s rarely listed as one of the top producers/songwriters of that era unless someone is really in the know about music from that time. This guy had a definite signature sound. Not only are his solo records dope but he did great stuff with Troop, Gerald Albright, and others. Very underrated. Not to mention “Games” was the inspiration for “Return of the Mack”!
