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.
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
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 💀
How did All-4-One get away with this? I get it’s not their original song but they stole the arrangement and everything about this excellent remake. It’s also a shame the AFD version isn’t on streaming platforms. This video is all I can find of the group.
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. :-)
People thought I was crazy when I said this group existed and had this song before ALL-4-One. Too bad what happened to them and the quality of this video...but they killed this!!!!
I know every guy in this group personally. I grew up with them in Lynwood. I even have a copy of the song on Cassette Tape! The Label dropped them shortly after they did the video do to "disputes" then gave the song to all 4 1 who hacked the hell out of it. Shame. The music business is so shady.
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.
I looked forever for this version. This was before All 4 One came out, yet they were a hit. I remember thinking I heard this song probably a year earlier, and those dudes got no love.
They really didn't get any love! And they were SO much better than All 4 Nothing. When this dropped I was a fan immediately. Used to order it on The Box! That's the only place they really played it a lot. BET showed it love too. I had it on VHS way back in the day, but that's long gone. I'm so glad one of the original members uploaded it here! I am STILL on the lookout for a CD single or 12" single of this! I'd even be happy with a cassette single... anything!
Damn! I miss The Box. They made stars out of artist MTV never would have played, but then MTV would later take credit for the stars success, Like Nirvana, Luke or Sir Mix A Lot.
Tre404 Yep I totally remember seeing this on the Box all the time...thanks for ordering it because I had a huge crush on the lead singer as a kiddo. LOL!
Yes! Me too! I knew I wasn't imagining that another group sung this before all 4 one. I know it's a cover of a throwback original but all for ones version came out so close to this one and they never got as much recognition. Now I can relax!
Truly, truly IS shady... I quit trying to even get involved for that very reason. So cool that you know the guys. I'm still looking, after all these years, for a copy of this song. I'll continue to search the web until I DO find a cassette, CD, 12" single, anything. I'll find it eventually.
Talk to us, mayne!! I have been in your corner since day one, especially when I heard the talentless FRAUDS on the radio taking your version and running with it! One single, and 20 years later, I'm still the biggest fan. I'm still here, and can't wait for new material.
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
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!
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.
So happy that someone posted. So happy. I, like others, watched this on Midnight Love as often as they would play it, then it fell out of the rotation, then they disappeared, and AFO came out not long after. I could never catch AFD on VHS (wish we had DVR back then!), so obviously when I tried to explain to my friends that there was a group immediately before AFO that did that song, I got crickets. I put this video on facebook and twitter for these same friends today, going on 20 years lat
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!
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.
HOLD UP, HOLD UP!! I've been looking for this joint ever since I got internet access in 1997! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I used to ask peeps if they remembered this, and NOBODY did! I've looked ALL over the web for AFD, and definitely eBay, looking for this, to NO AVAIL! You have no idea! For me, this video is my "holy grail!" I've finally found it! Now I know I wasn't hallucinating all these years! And yeah, I recorded it from The Box, but lost that tape a long time ago, in 95. THANK YOU!! This is great!
Yo I was looking for this video for years. When I heard the all 4 one joint I was like Damn really!? Not only did they jack the syle in which it was sung these cats sang everything run for run (well they tried). And I kept telling everyone that another group redid this joint before all 4 one did! I saw it on video soul BET!
I have been searching high and low online for 17 YEARS for a copy of "So Much in Love" by y'all, to no avail! No 12", no cassette, nothing! It is one of about 5 "Holy Grails" of my 6,000+ record collection! :-) I'll never give up. And I do hope to hear new music from you fellas soon!
WHAT!! I've been searching for this video for so long now! Respect to the person who finally posted this mug. Wow. I used to LOVE YUSUF! Yusef, Farid, Marlon and Roy ... where are you guys?! We met them on the shoot of an EZ E video ...well it was his girl group, and of course Yusuf was all gaga for my homegirl...BOOOO.
The way I was able to record it to VHS was that I requested it on The Box, and waited in front of my TV with my finger on the "REC PAUSE" button, ready to catch it! :) I surely wish I still had that tape. It would be UP HERE on UA-cam for sure!
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
wow I thought I was the only one searching like crazy for this song by THIS group. It was so hard for me to find because I couldn't remember the name of the group. I just remembered seeing it on Midnight Love and how I felt they sang this song soooo much better than All 4 One. Thank you so much for uploading this song because I couldn't find it anywhere else :)
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 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 cannot believe it.. to whomever posted the video... thanks a million! Sounds a billion times better than All 4 One. I looked high and low for this single/video for a long time. I wish AFD was more successful, too bad... they all had great voices.
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.
OMG I like so many others who replied below have been searchin for this song. Wf\hen I googled it, it would only show that whack group all for NOT. I was sooooo upset. I remebered the melody & the way AFD sang it but I just couldn't place the name of group.I really wish they could've stayed in da game. THANX SO MUCH FOR POSTING IT.
And check out The Capitan, Paul Porter, intro-ing the song! Ain't that a blast from the past? :-) Sure miss those days of Midnight Love and Video Soul.
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
these guys are great! they do it better than AFO! i didnt know they exist! but i can hear now that the song that i loved so much was their version! i even formed a group in collegeand we sang this song! thank you so much for posting this.
@SlimGoodie004 nah you weren't the only one! I couldn't remember their name but yeah you weren't alone cuz those of us that remembered this version new it to be the best one! So props to u for having a good ear!
Yes, NYAASSIS, everyone thought I was crazy, too! I was like, "No, there was a group BEFORE All 4 One who did this song, with the same arrangement!" And nobody remembered. But I sure did, because I know talent when I hear it, and A4O did NOT bring what AFD brought to this song, by ANY stretch of the imagination! Now I gotta find this song, tangibly, for real! Like a 12" single or something!! :-)
If I remember correctly, Zoo Entertainment changed their name to Blitzz Entertainment around the time they dropped AFD. So it was the same people, but a different name.
this is a really good song. I like the Tymes version, its ok.. but I LOVE afd's version! so to me this IS the Real "so much in love" because nobody before or after them sang it with as much feeling and creativity as afd. they definitely put their own stamp on this song and made it sound so original. I love how they slowed it down, it sounds sweeter this way. So until I hear a male r&b group come along and kill this song this will always be my preferred version.. the afd classic 90's r&b version
NYAASIS: Very cool! You should dig that tape up somewhere and try to post it! It would be so nice to hear the song with better audio quality. Meanwhile, my search for a record, tape, or CD of this song continues... wish me luck!
man i still love this song man... i just wish someone would post a better version though the audio is a bit jacked up from time 2 time but i loveeeeeee this song
Ok, I have been replaying the sh*t outta this video considering the last time I saw it was in 1993, BET. So these guys are from Lynwood Cali? These AFD guys are way more soulful, funky, melodic, and rythmic than AFO ever was!
This vid gotta stay on youtube. Then I can show friends what I told them years ago. They got done like that Canadian dude Dimitri with Get It On Tonite (Montell Jordan). This was the original and better version.......
You know, I don't think All4One are thieves, but probably just came into a fortunate situation which was unfortunate for these guys. I'm a huge All4one fan and am just now seeing this. They both sound good to me! The video response above show's how talented they are.
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
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
You're right about that! When I heard the airplay of this song back in 94ish, I thought, "Hey, finally AFD is getting some airplay!" But when I saw the video on MTV, I was like WHAT DA FUCK!!...How da fuck did two of the black guys turn into a white Clark Kent lookin' muthafucka and a taco truck vendor. And the other two brothas look like Aunt Jemima's son and a broke Keith Sweat. THIS AIN'T AFD!! AFD shoulda got the creds not All 4 One. I hated every song that came out of All4one.
I wish somebody would post the actual song of this to UA-cam.
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
Maaan here in 2023 been looking for this for years all 4 one jacked this song this version is the best
NO DOUBT
I've been looking for this for 23 yrs I heard this in 1993
my Sr yr in high school
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 was in the 8th grade. I was sad to see A41 took over the song. What a waste, when AFD did the better vocals, overall better vocal tones.
This was the Original !! So glad i found it! These guys Blew ALL FOR ONE out of the water! Respect to AFD!
Thanks for the compliment.. appreciate it
Actually, it's also a rendition 🙂
Original is by The Tymes in 1963

i couldn't find this song till now i havent heard it since 1996 maybe great song
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.
OMG I like so many others who replied below have been searchin for this song. Wf\hen I googled it, it would only show that whack group all for NOT. I was sooooo upset. I remebered the melody & the way AFD sang it but I just couldn't place the name of group.I really wish they could've stayed in da game. THANX SO MUCH FOR POSTING IT.
And check out The Capitan, Paul Porter, intro-ing the song! Ain't that a blast from the past? :-) Sure miss those days of Midnight Love and Video Soul.
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
💕
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?
these guys are great! they do it better than AFO! i didnt know they exist! but i can hear now that the song that i loved so much was their version! i even formed a group in collegeand we sang this song! thank you so much for posting this.
Love AFD version....the lone female..she looks like Jill Scott
About time we see the real singers of this song. THANKS for adding this video. Now too bad you guys can't get the money due you...hehehe
Yes! Thank 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
@SlimGoodie004 nah you weren't the only one! I couldn't remember their name but yeah you weren't alone cuz those of us that remembered this version new it to be the best one! So props to u for having a good ear!
takes me back!
Four years on, and I'm still patrolling, Nique.... lol... still hoping for some kind of reprisal and happy ending for Marlon, Yusuf and the guys.
It’s funny that’s this is the only version I think of when I sing this song in my head!!!
Yes, NYAASSIS, everyone thought I was crazy, too! I was like, "No, there was a group BEFORE All 4 One who did this song, with the same arrangement!" And nobody remembered. But I sure did, because I know talent when I hear it, and A4O did NOT bring what AFD brought to this song, by ANY stretch of the imagination! Now I gotta find this song, tangibly, for real! Like a 12" single or something!! :-)
If I remember correctly, Zoo Entertainment changed their name to Blitzz Entertainment around the time they dropped AFD. So it was the same people, but a different name.
TO ALL AFD FANS, WERE BAAAAACCCKKKKK!!!!! NEW AFD MUSIC COMING SOON!!!!!
Still waiting on this music brah🙈
You’ll be waiting forever,.. there IS no such group as AFD 🙄
this is a really good song. I like the Tymes version, its ok.. but I LOVE afd's version! so to me this IS the Real "so much in love" because nobody before or after them sang it with as much feeling and creativity as afd. they definitely put their own stamp on this song and made it sound so original. I love how they slowed it down, it sounds sweeter this way. So until I hear a male r&b group come along and kill this song this will always be my preferred version.. the afd classic 90's r&b version
NYAASIS: Very cool! You should dig that tape up somewhere and try to post it! It would be so nice to hear the song with better audio quality. Meanwhile, my search for a record, tape, or CD of this song continues... wish me luck!
Marlon I remember you well from the group. Nice to read you're still doing music :-)
How are Yusef, Farid and Roy?
Art Garfunkel does this song too. Both are so good...
oh wow, Lutah... I didn't know about that! One always assumes that Montell writes his own material, y'know? I'ma have to check that out!
Thank you, Captain Fastidious! Read some of the comments regarding the AFD/All 4 One debacle, and you'll understand. Careers were ruined here.
Yusuf sang this song at my wedding in 2016.
We are ready!!!
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
All4one is better than this
Class. ;)
Now, THAT... is some funny shit! My wife and I used to make the SAME comparisons!! :-) LOL!!
man i still love this song man... i just wish someone would post a better version though the audio is a bit jacked up from time 2 time but i loveeeeeee this song
Just now seeing this reply.... I hope it's still there, CAP3411. If so, I'll check it out!
Come on, then, Marlon! :) Come on with the come-on, get down with the get-down... WE. ARE. READY!!
Ok, I have been replaying the sh*t outta this video considering the last time I saw it was in 1993, BET. So these guys are from Lynwood Cali? These AFD guys are way more soulful, funky, melodic, and rythmic than AFO ever was!
This vid gotta stay on youtube. Then I can show friends what I told them years ago. They got done like that Canadian dude Dimitri with Get It On Tonite (Montell Jordan). This was the original and better version.......
@Tre404 my cousin had it on tape im ive asked the world have they SEEN this video and they dont know what im talking about THANK U SO MUCh ur loved
You know, I don't think All4One are thieves, but probably just came into a fortunate situation which was unfortunate for these guys. I'm a huge All4one fan and am just now seeing this. They both sound good to me! The video response above show's how talented they are.
Who’s here in 2020
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
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
You're right about that! When I heard the airplay of this song back in 94ish, I thought, "Hey, finally AFD is getting some airplay!" But when I saw the video on MTV, I was like WHAT DA FUCK!!...How da fuck did two of the black guys turn into a white Clark Kent lookin' muthafucka and a taco truck vendor. And the other two brothas look like Aunt Jemima's son and a broke Keith Sweat. THIS AIN'T AFD!! AFD shoulda got the creds not All 4 One. I hated every song that came out of All4one.
um.... who's angry?
@cap3411 I cant wait
Naw Tre, you ain't crazy...lololol :o)
