New Edition may have sold more records and been more famous, but NOBODY danced as well and as hard as Troop during the late 80s/early 90s era. They were truly slept-on.
These bruthas knew they could move! Very few could get with Troop on the dance floor. Always in sync! They’ll forever be one of my favorite male groups 💕💕💕
I Just Seen Troop Live In Concert For The First Time On Saturday, July 29, 2023...It Was Truly An Dream Come True Bringing 'The New Jack Swing Era' Legends To My City...It Was Just Jon Jon, Allen, And Steve That Preformed Because Rodney The Other Member Had An Family Emergency & Couldn't Be There...I Had An REALLY Great Time...I Made Sure My Daughter And I Was Front Row Too & We Took Pictures & Recorded...#Rest In Peace Reggie...🔥🙏🏽🎤💐❤...!!!

To be able to pull those dance moves on them hot ass sweaters and turtlenecks is amazing plus the ability to also sing too Troop was is the hardest working group in Music Period.👍🏾👍🏾🎵🎵🎵🎵
Conrad Sutton i was only 5 or 6 years old in the late 80s, i wish i was old enough to go to the clubs. I try to find clubs now with an 80s or 90s style....nope.
TROOP is such a talented LIVE group!! I don't even think that studio recordings do them any credit!!! You really want to experience these incomparable ICONS LIVE and in LIVING COLOR!!! Still Bangin and Repren' The Dena!!! Pasadena, CA!!! 'DIVA!!! FAN4LIFE
My days of running to the record store to buy my favorite singles/albums....BEFORE c.d's on vinyl or cassette. I had my speakers hanging on the wall BLASTING, just thinking my mom NEVER told me to turn it down...probably because she was in the hallway listening, DROPPIN IT LIKE IT WAS HOT". I swear the 80's.....and especially the 90's were years that artist's were more ORIGINAL, UNIQUE & DEDICATED to being themselves. I miss them good old days.❤

Allen??? Allen wasnt shit! He’s the reason they broke up. Steve kept this group together! Steve was the all time BEST AND MOST TALENTED TROOP MEMBER!!! Period!
I know he was adorable with the little baby face and so was Jon Jon plus Rodney B had a cute little face Reggie had some beautiful bone structure Allen had some lovely dreamy eyes they were all some fine brothers.
@@BlackRB21Yes They Told Us That We Definitely Gave Them Some Serious Trouble With Our Choreography And We Do About 90 Percent Of Our Own Choreography So That Should Definitely Tell U Somethin That When Comes To The Stage It Is What It Is...One Love Fam.
watching this Unsung episode and time travelling back to high school. I can see the girl I had a crush on then that this song would remind me of.................................................my God those memories just came flooding back.
I was watching it too. I learned something new-the song "Gots ta Be" by B2K was out when I was 11 and that was written by one of the members of Troop. I never would've known that if I didn't recognize it at the end of the episode.
Same here I had a little crush on my classmate he had a Troop haircut with the braided tail in the back you couldn't tell me he wasn't my future husband 😁💀.
Rest In Paradise Reggie Warren. Thank you for your contributions to the music world ❤️
Kelley Dorsey, was shocked by Reggie death he was 54? Damn was he sick?
Was he ill?
He was only 51. I believe it was organ failure due to prior addiction issues.
@@michaelmason8772 in the latest documentary it was said he died due to drug addiction

A Gerald LeVert joint! RIP

Well,one group did. It was their predecessors who inspired them. Force MD's. Troop was like their inheritors.
@@wilykat I love them too T.C Lundy had such a beautiful voice.

Mine too.
All I know they got down When they perform on Arsenio back in the day.
@@sarahsimpkins1311 they sure did!!
I think 5 Star was also up there. Tho not a fully male band.
They were some dancin' brothas. They had us doing the "troop."
Thank you for that. I could not remember the name of that dance.

Right👌🏾

These bruthas back in the day, knew how to dance their asses off!
And you knew they weren’t lip syncing during their performances.
@@davidstewart1061 nope I watched an arsenio performance earlier they were dancing hard doing the worm and still going hard on the vocals.
@@davidstewart1061 crazy footwork that split !!!.
I actually was saying they needed a choreographer LMBO 😆
And their pants are covering their asses. What a concept.
They killed it
That Jheri curl is dripping all over that stage.lol
STOP IT LMAO !! Good stuff
Let your soul glo
Shocka Delica, lmao 😃✌.
Lateshia Childs, girl u wrong! Lmao 😂.
You didn't know? The was their secret to sliding across the stage so easily.
One of the best dancing groups that sang of all time
My very favorite TROOP song of all times! Still sounds good in 2020! Donnie Simpson Video Soul B.E.T Memories! #THROWBACK
Dance steps of Troop was off the hook!!
These Curls and this Choreography!!! This era was the dopest and I'm so glad I was alive to enjoy it!
REST IN ✌ MY BROTHER. ONE OF THE MEMBERS WENT HOME TO BE WITH OUR GOD
I was a HS junior in the Spring of 1988 when this came out.
Today & Troop ruled back in the '90's!!❤❤❤❤
I'm in the mood for some late 80's bops. Troop obviously hits the spot. They lil' step was cute. Allen was my favorite, vocally.
He did have a unique voice his tone was something else.
Yess hunty Al Mac. I liked Steve's sound too. They compliment each other,like pnut butter and jelly

To be able to pull those dance moves on them hot ass sweaters and turtlenecks is amazing plus the ability to also sing too Troop was is the hardest working group in Music Period.👍🏾👍🏾🎵🎵🎵🎵
Back when you went to the club and everybody actually danced. Brothas who just stood there didn't get any play back then lol.
So true it was all about dancing.If u couldn't dance u wouldn't get any play.
+Karen Davidson wow i was too young to get in clubs then.... but i was outside dancin my butt off!!
Wrong it was a certain female that dug that dude that wasn't dancing lls
Robert Griffin Huh?
Conrad Sutton i was only 5 or 6 years old in the late 80s, i wish i was old enough to go to the clubs. I try to find clubs now with an 80s or 90s style....nope.
Who's listning 2020
They did the same moves live on Showtime at the Apollo exactly like the video now that's real talent!!!!.
It’s the dances for me troop really blows my mind whoever said that first you weren’t alone🙏🏾
It's like watching 5 Michael Jacksons. But seriously, I love these guys so such.
Rest In Peace, Reggie Warren.
I know he was so handsome ❤️❤️.

Who else today could dance that hard in a full suit? I loved this group...I miss music like this. Still bumping in 2018.
Those moves still killin'
One of my favorite groups from the 80s. I'll never forget seeing them in concert when they toured with MC Hammer
One of the greatest groups of all time
Rest in paradise Reggie Warren. you will be missed bigg dogg.
Wow, never saw this video before but they guys are true talented.
Ft. Stewart GA 7th grade.....Blessed to have those memories. What hap to music?

They sound so amazing in concert and their showmanship was everything
the greatest dancing group ever in my opinion
the best
hoochings70 watching the moves more better and harder then new edition
King David they one of the greatest dancers
Their choreography was unlike no other at the time they were hot.
hoochings70 Yes, they we're better than New Edition
"MAAAN, NOW I USED TO LOVE THIS SONG, ONE OF THE BEST MUSICAL ERAS, THE '80s...!"
They were the next generation of Force MD's. They could sing and dance with the best of them.
Another group that could challenge,New Edition. They had tight,choreography! No disrespect to the Bros from Boston!
I definitely agree and I love my new edition I just listened to them before I came here.
HA look at those fresh curls!! GO BOYS!!! Still love them!!
1:57 I remember trying to do this dance in middle school 😂 “The Troop.” Too hard for me!
And NE is still doing it. DAMN that's staying power. Much respect to Troop.
the best

I have so much respect for Troop because they interact with their fans. They never forget where they came from.
These guys were so talented. I hate the fact they didn't stay together longer :-( Allen's voice is fantastic!
Allen is back
Actually they're back at it in a city near you
