I'm enjoying this throw back R&B classic! This was a very dynamic trio. Some folks may be to young to know the contributions of Intro. Groups like Jodeci, Boys II Men, 112 and Jagged Edge would have a run for thier money if Intro was still making music. One of the group members of Intro, Kenny Greene wrote over half of Marg J. Blige's first album. Kenny "G-Love" Greene died from complications on October 1, 2001 due to being infected with the AIDS virus.

The last time Kenny was in the recording studio was in early 2001 singing background vocals for Tyrese "For Always" song on Tyrese 2000 Watts CD. Then in July of 2001, Kenny broke his silence and he came out disclosing his condition to everybody at Sister 2 Sister magazine admitting that he led a bisexual lifestyle and had full-blown AIDS. It was indeterminable how long he was bedridden, but he was hospitalized at a Jewish hospital in Los Angeles, California. He passed on October 1, 2001. RIP Kenny "G-Love" Greene.

By far the hottest, sexiest track on this CD is "Come Inside" I'll try to get it on Zen.Radio in the next few days.

More On Intro:

Combining hip-hop rhythms with smooth vocals, Intro emerged on the R&B music scene in the early 1990s. The group features impressive songwriting that deals with romance and relationships, and the trio offers a contemporary and urban look at street culture. Intro has an emotional and expressive style, noted for its distinctive blend of hip-hop beat with silken harmony. The group is comprised of three artists: Kenny Greene, Jeff Sanders, and Clinton "Buddy" Wike. The band's name is an acronym, standing for Innovative New Talent Reaching Out. Intro cut its debut eponymous album in 1993, and the record received critical acclaim for its songwriting. Greene and co-writer, Dave "Jam" Hall, tied with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for ASCAP's award for R&B Songwriter of the Year. The album went to number 11 on Billboard's R&B album chart. Intro followed up with "New Life" in 1995, which was recognized by critics who found the second album demonstrated a maturity in Intro's work, particularly in terms of its musical composition and arrangement. In 1998, the trio released Melismas. Intro played with high profile stars, such as Chaka Khan and Shanice Wilson, during the late 1990s. The group recorded a track, "I'm the One Who Loves You", that was produced by Stevie Wonder.
