Although it’s easy to dismiss the contemporary R&B quartet Imajin as simply a “boy band” (just check out their debut album’s cover), there’s more than meets the eye to this group

Pre-teenage R&B sensations in the early ’90s, Immature were formed in Los Angeles by producer/mentor Chris Stokes around barely ten-year-olds Marques “Batman” Houston, Jerome “Romeo” Jones, and Kelton “LDB” Kessee

Members of the group later known as Impact burst onto the recording scene with the name the Young Tempts on the Isley Brothers’ T- Neck label The first single, “I’ve Been Good to You” b/w “Too Busy Thinking About My Baby,” ripped the Temptations’ earlier versions, and both tracks appeared on the Gettin’ Ready album with Eddie Kendricks on lead

Hailing from New York, the dance-disco outfit Indeep scored a massive hit in 1983 with “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” Led by songwriter Michael Cleveland, the band issued a full-length album under the same title shortly thereafter, but with the disco movement almost extinct by this time (and with the emergence of such styles as rap), Indeep subsequently had a tough time following up their smash and were delegated to “one-hit wonder” status

One of a handful of neo-classic soul artists to emerge following the late-’90s success of artists like D’Angelo and Lauryn Hill, Atlanta’s IndiaArie stood poised at the beginning of 2001 to make a major impact
