The vocals coupled with the raw emotion makes you feel as if this song was specifically written for you.

There aren’t too many songs that leave you hunched over and all in your feelings. To say that this is my favorite Dru Hill song is an understatement. Before the release of their second album Enter the Dru, the group was featured on the 1997 soundtrack for the film Soul Food which spawned the incredible hit “We’re Not Making Love No More”. One couldn’t help but notice lead singer Sisqò with his signature blonde hair and larger than life vocals. Dru Hill took off with their smooth choreography, rich vocals, and charming demeanor. The great thing about Dru Hill was that they had what was considered the total package.

By the time the next few singles were released from their debut album Dru Hill, I was already a bonafide fan.Ĭlearly, I wasn’t the only one feeling this way. I remember watching intently as the big reveal came at the end of the video and seeing everyone’s shocked reaction. The Soul Train award-winning single, “In My Bed”, was released 24 years ago today, and I don’t know what intrigued me more the song or the video. It was my first introduction to Dru Hill and so far I was thoroughly pleased. The signature dance you know, the step-hop step-hop had me in the living room at the great-grandmother’s house jumping up like my life depended on it. But that wasn’t the only thing that caught my attention. I was wondering who this guy was with this golden blonde hair. I can recall the very first time I saw this video. Dru Hill’s first single “Tell Me” fell right into place. Most artists had moved on from the early sensation of New Jack Swing and were now transitioning into more ballad focused sounds. The Baltimore quartet came onto the music scene at a pivotal time in the ‘90s. Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you Dru Hill!įounded in 1992, Dru Hill consisted of original members, Sisqò, Nokio, Jazz, and Woody. One group in particular, came out the gate with a great sound, insane choreography, and a very unique look one cannot forget. They each embodied something special to be remembered by. Every one of these groups had their own distinctive sound, whether it be Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men with his incredible runs or Jonathen “John John” Rasboro from Silk with his tantalizing falsetto. In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus 'Scola' Waller to the lineup for their third LP, Dru World Order.When you think about all of the amazing groups of the “golden era” there were just so many to choose from. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's Unleash the Dragon LP and its hit single 'Thong Song' were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside of Dru Hill. Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, Dru Hill released two successful LPs before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. Tamir 'Nokio' Ruffin was the group's founder and leader his bandmates included main lead singer Mark 'Sisqó' Andrews, Larry 'Jazz' Anthony, and James 'Woody Rock' Green. Founded in Baltimore, Maryland and active since 1992, Dru Hill recorded seven Top 40 hits, and is best known for the R&B #1 hits 'In My Bed', 'Never Make a Promise', and 'How Deep is Your Love'. Dru Hill is an American singing group, most popular during the late 1990s, whose repertoire included R&B, soul, and gospel music.
