U see the problem is that an artist in the mainstream especially back in those days were measured way too much according to record sales and charts that don't really matter regardless of record sales artist should keep it moving and do shows and sale merchandise , and collect performance royalties weather they get drop or stay on the label ... most artist back then just rely too on the label with out knowing that labels are sharks
@@larhondaburchett3271 girl you remember jesse’s sisters tamera & Trina they sang on something for the people’s my love is the shhh.. another great group also.
Jase’s voice changed a lot between the first and second albums. I still really enjoyed the second album after discovering it thru this video but I do think it’s missing that sound that pulled me into the first one. All great music nonetheless!!
I think that was kind of messed up how they threw heavy D under a bus. He obviously saw talent in them, or else he wouldn't of taken them to his label.
@@THEATTKID I believe they were the ones that left Uptown. Maybe Heavy was hurt by them leaving?How you gonna leave one company for another, because you thought the grass was greener at the new company, and when it's not, and everything goes to shit, you point fingers at the first company. I don't blame Heavy for allegedly ignoring them afterwards. If I put you on, and mentor you, and help you become a major grp, with a hit record, but then later you leave because you think you can do it with out me, or you think you know more than me, then I owe you nothing, and don't have to fuck with you no more. They made a grown up decision to leave the man and the company that made them. So they need to stop bad talking about Heavy, who is deceased, and can't respond.
@Iynnae gink Just because someone sees your talent does not mean they're gonna treat you right! Puffy is the perfect example of that him and countless others!
I was shocked to hear that Heavy wasn't heavy with supporting them. He always appeared as if he would have your back, but who knows? This is hearsay as far as I'm concerned.
🎶 HEAVY D AND WHO?!... SOUL 4 REAL!🎶 RIP Heavy D! If he were still alive I just know he would be at Missy Elliot and Pharrell status as far as producing hundreds of hits, writing hundreds of hit songs, and discovering lots of talented artists.
They part of our lives here in Cape Town South Africa. In our community RnB and soul is part of our culture. Almost everyday we hear their songs. Groups like them and other artists that are considered one hit wonders will always be legendary on this side.
I would love to see stories on groups and artists like 3T, N II U, Gravediggaz, Color Me Badd, Charli Baltimore, All-4-One, Tara Kemp, Finesse & Synquis, Shyheim, etc.!!
I really hate what happened to them. I have a story to tell. Me and my brother and two cousins went to New York seeking a record deal. We won four times on the Apollo. Heavy d, got in contact with our manager to come to his house in Mt. Vernon to audition for him. So we did he loved us. He signed us on the spot. We were very good singers. But didn't know anything about the business. That was November 1992. He told us after the new year rolls in he's going to fly us back to New York. To take us to uptown records. But God saw different. Now I understand why everything went down the way it did. And by the way we're from the Queen City N.c. and we were inspired by jodeci. I actually grew up with KC and JoJo. My mom are good friends with there aunt and Mom. But I wish much blessings to so for real 🙏🏾💪🏿
I wonder what their reviews to the restaurant said. Must not have been too great of course. But great video and I love your channel. You should do a video on Jesse McCartney. I forgot all about him until I was watching old episodes of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
I THANK YOU, SO VERY MUCH , FOR THIS AWESOME MOMENT !!! HOWEVER , JUST 1 REQUEST MAM , A “GOOD GIRLS , WHERE ARE THEY NOW VIDEO” PRETTY PLEASE !!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
*(**2:04**) Record business shyster move 101.* When a young group/artist comes to a record company the company likes to "change there name". They say it's because they want something more "cooler or hip". But what the record company really want is to OWN THE GROUPS NAME AND TO CONTROL ALL RESIDUALS FROM THAT NAME. (3:25) notice how they (probably Soul IV Real idea) changed the "for" to "IV" on the HEAT album.
That is a great background on Soul for Real.Im glad they still together.Candyrain is still the best ever.Heavy D and Andre of Uptown still be missed everyday.
Every little thing I do and Candy rain were EVERYTHINGGGGGG when they dropped!!! My three year old at the time used to sing/say “you’re oh my-my” instead of “you’re on my mind” 🤣 Oh the memories 🥰
I re-listened their album For Life, it is so good. Thye are such amazing singers. So underrated album imo. Please go and listen to it. You won't regret it. Real R&B. That kind of music will never be produce ever again.
I wonder if any of our 80-90 talent artist can get justice . After so long and it is sad to know how the music industry took advantage of so many young artist’s
When I was in high school, here in the US, omg, they were amazing!! I heard they were HUGE in Zimbabwe by the way. My friends who grew up there said they performed in Zim several times. I did hear tracks from their other albums that were great. I wish the industry did not take advantage of them in their youth.
I loved Candy rain, every little thing I do, never felt this way before and thinking of you are my favorites. But Jase is still active with music releasing albums and eps and he’s active on Facebook

@@JuicyPopEntertainment mine too.
Still on my daily playlist
“Every little thing I Do” should be on every BBQ playlist
I was just playing that at the beach last night 👏🏾👏🏾🏖️🎊🎆🌇🗽
It damn sure is! That and "Candy Rain!" Also, The System, "Don't Disturb This Groove."
I love the bass in that song heck I love the song period lol
@@mariedavis8622 it's a reminder of the simplest of times
Facts!!!
The music industry is a fickle mistress.
I had no idea they were of west Indian descent, this was cool to find out
Candy Rain and Everything Little Thing I Do are classics!!! Thanks for this video 👌🏾
"Give me golden raindrops. Finest thing like Candy Rain!" 🍬🍭 🌧️☔ 🎵🎶
A story on Shai would be good
Yesss!!! Along with Rome (I belong to you)
Jesse Powell (You) Gina Thompson ( The Things You Do) Mona Lisa (Can't be wasting my time)
@@larhondaburchett3271 I stay listening to Rome & Jesse. Always wonder what happened to them.
@@Blackskye211 Yesssss me too!!
Agreed , and I agree with LaRhonda💯💯
@@larhondaburchett3271 girl you remember jesse’s sisters tamera & Trina they sang on something for the people’s my love is the shhh.. another great group also.
I started singing "Candy Rain" and dancing in my chair at work!
Me too!!! 💃🏽
"Every Little Thing I Do"🎤🎤
My favorite and the video was so cute too.
Yes still a bop
you're on my mind...🎶💃🏽
The way I feel lately it’s driving me crazyyy
Classic
An underrated group, this channel can go on for a whole decade with these artist and groups
Finally. I was waiting on this one. That second album deserved so much credit and was one of the top releases in my collection for 1996.
Yup
I love them !!!! They were too good felt bad that career didn’t blow up like it did
The moment Hev and Andre left and Uptown folded into MCA, it was over.
@@saj8 the 90's version of the Jackson 5
everybody not gonna get there.
If they had the right management around them and had jase and choc as the lead singers they would’ve been fine
Their 2nd album was slept on… a lot of good joints. “Never Felt this Way” still knocks!!!
See I never felt this way before and I think you're what I'm looking for
Such a great record…Leavin’ was definitely my favorite song on there.
@@brandonbates9587 “See all of my life I’ve been searching to find someone like you” - song is still 🔥
@@nat29sal definitely still 🔥
I liked their second album but I strongly feel the 3rd album was better. I'm shocked to learn that it had also commercially flopped.
Patiently waiting for a story on Ruben Studdard 😎
Out of all their songs Never felt this way will always be my favorite song to be a child/teenagers in the 90s smh what a time to be alive
DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic specials are the best!!
The best thing that ever happened the pandemic.
Agreed did you watch the newest one with jadakiss and ja rule and tamia it was dope
@@missbeauty8564 I saw all of them.
Yup
Every time I think of them I think of the Moesha episode “A Concerted Effort” 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me too lol
Mo to tha, E to tha...💃🏽
@@JuicyPopEntertainment 😅😅😂😂🤣🤣
Me too
I thought that was 112 on concerted effort???
One of the dudes worked at Burger King in Deer Park near my high school before their big break. Never everrrrr forget where you came from.
I would also love to see a story on R&B group Portrait
Yeah, i brought Portrait CD. Honey Dip was 🔥
Here, we, go....
RIP Heavy D and Andre Harrell
I just stumbled on "If You Want It" from their Soul Train performance. Soul 4 Real were YOUNG and didn't understand the music BUSINESS
Jase’s voice changed a lot between the first and second albums. I still really enjoyed the second album after discovering it thru this video but I do think it’s missing that sound that pulled me into the first one. All great music nonetheless!!
Candy rain is my karaoke sign. My monotone self be hitting all the notes & ad libs. Might even hit a 90s r&b group spin if im in the mood😂
I think that was kind of messed up how they threw heavy D under a bus. He obviously saw talent in them, or else he wouldn't of taken them to his label.

@Iynnae gink Just because someone sees your talent does not mean they're gonna treat you right! Puffy is the perfect example of that him and countless others!
But rob them of their money
@@THEATTKID they could tried to get another deal
Candyrain is in one of the best songs ever. I was a kid when that came out. Stuck with me ever since. Good times.
Candy Rain is one of my favorite childhood songs.
I still have the Candy Rain CD lol Soul for Real was my favorite group growing up
Plus I never heard anyone say anything bad about Heavy D
Never
@@Hypotheticals_Are_Pointless that’s why I was kinda baffled cause I never heard anyone had any issues wit him not even Monifah had a issue
@@ashleywills8761😂😂 Damn, you replied quick. I deleted my comment because she put that in the video lol
@@Hypotheticals_Are_Pointless I was watching the video too lol and had to watch it again too lol
I was shocked to hear that Heavy wasn't heavy with supporting them. He always appeared as if he would have your back, but who knows? This is hearsay as far as I'm concerned.
🎶 HEAVY D AND WHO?!...
SOUL 4 REAL!🎶
RIP Heavy D!
If he were still alive I just know he would be at Missy Elliot and Pharrell status as far as producing hundreds of hits, writing hundreds of hit songs, and discovering lots of talented artists.

being Trini, I love seeing that they were Trinis lol yessir hope music like theirs and so many other R&B groups would make a comeback though
Love your videos can you please do one on Blackgirl, Good 2 Go, Nuttin Nyce, Y$N-VEE and Fabu please
I would love to see stories on groups and artists like 3T, N II U, Gravediggaz, Color Me Badd, Charli Baltimore, All-4-One, Tara Kemp, Finesse & Synquis, Shyheim, etc.!!
Diggable planets, and X- clan
Yes
Good video! Can you do Ready for the world? I know they are a old group and some still do music but what happened in-between the separate ways?
Yes. I second this. 🎶Oh oh Sheila🎶 and 🎶Let me love you downnnnnn🎶 🤣
@@krislatoya7556 thanks 🙌🏽
Myyyyy love, do you eva dreeaaaaaammmm of candy coated rainnnnnn drops??

Other 90s groups:

4PM
The Rude Boys
Guy
Hi-Five
Thanks for this. I was wondering about them. How is someone’s death karma? DJ Envy irks me. 🤦🏽♀️
I love the song from them called "Candy rain."
90s R & B was sooo amazing....kids now of days have no idea how awesome music was in the 90s!
"EVERY LITTLE THING I DO" IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A JAM 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Nice group, for a short run 🏃♂️ 👌 😀 👍 👏 😎 .
My all time favorite is "If You Want It".
Candy Rain was EVERYTHING 🙌🙌🙌

I THANK YOU, SO VERY MUCH , FOR THIS AWESOME MOMENT !!!
HOWEVER , JUST 1 REQUEST MAM , A “GOOD GIRLS , WHERE ARE THEY NOW VIDEO” PRETTY PLEASE !!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I love the choreography and song "Candy Rain" (Rest In Heaven Legend Heavy D & Andre Harrell)
I still rock my Soul For Real 💿... I love their ballads.
Candy Rain was the biggest hit, Every Little Thing I Do was 2nd & they also have a song called "if you want it" it was a nice lil bop too. 😎🎶
In the 90's groups like this were rolled off an assembly line. Once they got old by industry standards they were traded in for a newer version.
#Facts
Damn,145 counts & 8 children...Lawd !! Wowwww West Indian, learn something new everyday. Love "Candy Rain "...!!
Love that I can randomly go looking for my faves and Juicy Pop has me covered. ❤
I love them!! I still listen to there music to this day
I'm here for the silky narration and of course the hint of memes that gives me life.
Every little thing is my fav and I still listen to it.
Be on the look out soul for real have a episode of Unsung being produced right now on TVone
*(**2:04**) Record business shyster move 101.*
When a young group/artist comes to a record company the company likes to "change there name".
They say it's because they want something more "cooler or hip". But what the record company really

Every Little Thing I Do youre on my mind youre on my mind heyyyy ♥️ the album Candy Rain goes IN.
Wow! I had no idea they were Trini 🇹🇹 So cool to learn that. Candy Rain is one of my favs from them.
Keep up the great work!
Love from 🇹🇹 💗
They're actually not Trini they're jamaican they said that on the breakfast club
Wasso happy to see So Sor Real on 🖥 ! They were on pass the 🎤!
Every little Things I do and Candy Rain. I still listen to til this very day.
That is a great background on Soul for Real.Im glad they still together.Candyrain is still the best ever.Heavy D and Andre of Uptown still be missed everyday.
Good work on this one. Back in the day Soul 4 Real was killing it sure did miss them.
Candy rain is classic! or maybe I'm just being biased! 🤗
Every little thing I do you're on my minddddd
“Every little thing i do” was our skate song❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think the elephant in the room was that Jason's voice was changing by the second album and Heavy lost confidence in them.
Every little thing I do and Candy rain were EVERYTHINGGGGGG when they dropped!!! My three year old at the time used to sing/say “you’re oh my-my” instead of “you’re on my mind” 🤣 Oh the memories 🥰
Candy Rain will live on FOREVER! 💙
This made me smile b4 I even pressed play! Thanks 😊
While their singles were amazing their debut album had amazing cuts. I Don’t Know & All in my mind both are great.
Don't forget about 'spend the night' that is a banger!
I Don't Know was my shiznit!!!
I love the memories you take me back to!!! Love them!!
Every little thing I do you're on my mind you're on my mind.. Hey!!!
Love these stories so much!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love love this group candy rain and every little thing shall never get old
I really miss these 90s groups this was the time were we had so many innovated musical groups and classics I still listen to today,

I was in the 6th grade when candy rain came on the scene. Brings back so many fond childhood memories
I meet a couple of them a few years ago and they pretty much told me the same thing about Heavy. Sad to hear that kinda stuff.
I still knock the Candy Rain album 2 this day...
I loved Candy rain, every little thing I do, never felt this way before and thinking of you are my favorites. But Jase is still active with music releasing albums and eps and he’s active on Facebook

My guys for real‼️ If you was a young black kid who grew up singing in the 90s then you know wassup ‼️
Candy Rain will always be my favorite Soul For Real song, though I love a lot of their songs. Their new song "After The Rain" is off the chain too.
A story on rapper Nine would be very interesting he's the one who had songs like Whatchu Want and Any Emcee
"If u want it" did it 4 me
Can you make a video of the group Nu flavor?
That intro is so nostalgic it'll get you in your feelings if you not careful.
Don't give up soul for real I love you all god is good all the time keep yall heads up 🙏😊❤
1:50 A$AP Ferg father D Ferg made that logo. As well as Bad Boys. Crazy world 💯
I use to love them! I hope they come back or just tour using the old songs.
I still Jam their Music 🎶 🎵
I remember cutting school early to stand on line to get my CD signed..lol
