Before They Were Legends, They Were In These Forgotten Groups
Twelve groups gave us the songs that soundtracked our lives — the roller rink jams, the wedding ballads, the slow dances we still remember down to the details — and somewhere along the way, we kept the songs and lost the names. This one goes back to give them back. From Midnight Star's vocoder-heavy funk to the two-man synth duo behind "Don't Disturb This Groove," from the all-female band that broke barriers with "Meeting in the Ladies Room" to the Cincinnati group that quietly launched Babyface and L.A. Reid into legend, and finally to the jazz percussionist whose "Juicy Fruit" became one of hip-hop's most sampled beats — this is the real story behind twelve songs you already know by heart. Some of these stories are joyful. Some of them are bittersweet. All of them are true, verified, and told the way this music deserves. If you grew up with any of these songs in the house, drop a comment and tell me where you first heard it. Subscribe for more deep-dive R&B and soul history, every week, right here on Soul Rewind.
