I didn't know who sang this for hte longest, but it was always one of my favorites. I think that one of Ashanti's new songs sample this in a sped up version.
The female lead on this one was excellent. Which Atlantic Starr female lead was this?
Atlantic Starr were the bomb in their heyday. They made great music.

I love it! Atlantic Starr were a very solid group. My favorite by them is "When Love Calls" but this is way up there. The vocals were done by Barbara Weathers who replaced Sharon Bryant. Barbara Weathers gave Atlantic Starr their biggest hits like "Always" and "Secret Lovers". Sharon's my favorite vocalist of theirs though. She's singing back-up for Mary J. Blige now.
"Silver Shadow" hit #13 R&B in 1985.

A+! |

Yes Sharon sang lead on "When Love Calls". Then she sang back-up for Mary's song that sampled it, "Willing & Waiting".

#12 on the R&R Urban Charts (based on my blessed memory!) I have the casssette of "As The Band Turns", you know when I bought the tape, I was hoping that the 12 inch version would be included but to my disappoint it wasn't. Now I can find it on Napster, I believe for only a buck!  I was also in dismay when it missed the top 10 on Walt Love's The Countdown using of course the R&R charts. Two out of four of their singles from that album hit the top 10 "Freak-a-ristic" & "Secret Lovers". |

Here's a full clip. From their "Greatest Hits" release. It sounds good but I prefer "Love Crazy".

This is my favorite Atlantic Starr song. One of my all time favorites. It's a shame it wasn't one of their many Top 10 R&B hits.

Yeah, this is a great jam! It has a feel good vibe that I really like alot.
It kinda reminds me a little like Miami Sound Machine.
