    I was one month ago old when I found out that I Swear was a cover of a country song. Either way they made that song their own and it's so iconic. It's part of the soundtrack of the 90s. They kinda remind me of Color Me Badd. Also a diverse R&B group.

    Thank you so much for posting this video about All-4-One. They were my favorite R&B group growing up. And they still are. My heart would melt every time I hear their song, I Swear or I Can Love You Like That. They’re really amazing. I'm so glad they never broke up like the rest of the music groups today. It’s really beautiful to see them remain together for so many years.

  • @TheNewgreatlife
    @TheNewgreatlife 2 роки тому +10

    It's really cool how this group never broke up! One thing I've noticed is that it's usually the groups who are a little more under the radar that do end up staying together and not going through a hundred members (or losing members to death). It's also interesting how they basically stopped being promoted in America after 2000. I feel like these record labels just be snatching these artists from us after a certain point in their careers.

      It’s actually a fact that white boybands of the late 90’s/early zeroes like Backstreet Boys and ‘n Sync were a white answer successful black male groups, copying their style and trying to out-beat them in record sales. This has been going on for decades -white artists stealing songs/swag of lesser known black artists (Elvis..).

    I’m surprised Gerald Levert turned down “I Swear” because it was a country song. “Midnight Plane to Houston” was a country song until Cissy Houston changed it to “Midnight Train to Georgia” then recorded it and had a minor R&B hit. Gladys Knight and the Pips then covered it and made it #1 on the R&B and Hot 100 charts. As soulful as he was he could’ve done the same with “I Swear” on the R&B chart.
