[cilla1028]

Im glad to see people post positive comments. Few people can appreciate acappela music, this is true talent if you can sing a song as clean as Bryan did.

[cilla1028]

@OriginalNajeema, there is an official video for this song. CMB made one and its black and white. There is also an interview with the band on the making of the video. Its on youtube.

[swl9380]

they need to make music like this, had feelings in to it,

i miss those dayz 80s and 90s

any one agreed with me

[swl9380]

my fav song is grove my mind, remind me of my child hood crush

i hope i found her again, i miss her alot, use to sing that song to her, just smile at me

she my best friend in early 90s in naples italy

[asteriskec]

Bryan sings with so much passion that you can't help but fall in love. He's such a gifted singer.

[Grapes428]

I'm pretty sure there was never a boy band that could top Brian Abrams for a lead singer.

[asteriskec]

@Grapes428 I super agree with you

[Jsteed2381]

thankyoueBay, I like how you mention that there is a Vanilla Ice look-a-like, Kenny G impersonator, and a Milli Vanilli extra. I have a description for the 4th band member.

I noticed the 4th band member (the middle back up singer) at 0:12-0:14 looks exactly like George Michael. Watch the video from the song Father Figure. LOL

[gothdaisy]

OMG! I was such a huge CMB fan in my teens, I loved them more than anything and I thought I'd seen it all! But I have NEVER seen this before! You totally just made my day! Thanks for sharing this! I'm all smiley now!!! :D hehe!

[ryan51401]

why does the video start in the middle of the song there should be about a minut and a half more just saying cuz ive seen the whole thing and by far this is my fav live song they have done

[thankyoueBay]

@ryan51401 Question: "why does the video start in the middle ..." Answer: The magic of VCR recording. Oh the days pre-Tivo. Haha! Thanks for taking the time to comment

[MarcusDarling4026]

You take the LP version of THIS song & mix it right next to Al B. Sure!'s "Ooh This Love Is So" LP Version- ..I think CMB were Al B fans bc the two songs are like TWIN SONGS.

[noblekane111]

[OriginalNajeema]

[DonDiva4u03]

THis was such a great group! Brian was no freaking joke on the mic he can rival any singer so you had to choice but to say that dude is a serious singer. Damn I miss the old days were dudes would sing and really win the hearts of fans!!!

[eboyRC]

all time favorite,,so overlooked!!..thanks !!

[thankyoueBay]

@eboyRC you're welcome and thanks for taking the time to comment!

[daj3166]

Half of a video is better than none, 15 years I've been looking for this performance thank you so much!

[thankyoueBay]

@daj3166 thanks for the nice comments. and yes, the result of VCR mishaps from the 80s (haha) --- missed a portion of their second performance, but caught the entire first performance of All For Love. thanks again for taking the time to comment

[Michaelmuzique]

Bryan at the top of his talent

[thankyoueBay]

@Michaelmuzique thanks for taking the time to comment.

[wysoft]

I wouldn't have known that these guys could throw down live. I always figured they were another manufactured studio band. Awesome performance.

[thankyoueBay]

@wysoft Thanks for taking the time to comment. With New Kids and Backstreet touring soon, it's just a matter of time before CMB starts up the tour bus. haha.

[Jboogie73]

My favourite CMB tune! Remember it was Boyz 2 Men, Color Me Badd and Jodeci then Shai, Intro, Portrait, also Brownstone and (unimpressive IMHO SWV and Jade). Those were the dayz: Tevin Campbell, Keith Washington, Lisa Fischer, Chris Walker and of course Mary J (who I took a long time to fully win me over).

[thankyoueBay]

@Jboogie73 Thanks for taking the time to comment. And yes, I remember! haha. Actually had a chance to check out Boys II Men for a private show of about 300. They were promoting their Motown album, but you know they had to break out Motown Philly. Thanks for the reminder about Lisa Fischer. Totally forgot about her.

[Jboogie73]

A personal favourite CMB tune!

[21armand]

true but there where in there mid 20s when they cam out so they where grown ass men but get you on the boyband

[angel2010197]

i love this song its so beauitful bryan is so cute after all this time.

[21armand]

@angel2010197 you sound like my older sister she was so in love with Bryan back in the days

[knmlover]

Lead singer Bryan Abrams was one fine, thick boy who could get it!

[YTLOVER02]

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS THAT THEY EVER SANG ON THE ALBUM AND LIVE!!!!!

[sexellent69]

Could someone post the original version of Thinking Back Please.

[maldoman23]

@sexellent69 i can do just the song..i cant find the video

[sexellent69]

@maldoman23 Just the song would be great! Thanks! I haven't heard it in years. One of my all time favs from this group.

[719latinsongbird]

OKlahoma Boys!!!!!

[TONYANDCYNTHIA]

and don't forget your Geoge michael look a like, vanilla ice, kenny g, and milli vanilli.

This was a great band, they could sing their asses off and werer entertainers. I miss the 90's sooooo much. Best music ever made

[katsku2]

[waterbabybug]

[mockingbirdforever]

Beautiful song. I remember just sitting on my parent's couch and listening to this song over and over and over.......

[FashnBeauti]
