Remembering Legends - Late Great 90s R&B Artists

[exzotik81]

I heard Tony Thompson OD'd on heroin.

[MindeVideos]

Props. ahh my two of my fav ladies Aaliyah and Phyllis on here. niiice

[bunny651]

I'm still really sad over Tony Thompson. He had a beautiful voice and he was an amazing live performer. Hi-Five was one of my favorite groups of the 90's. I feel sad every time I hear their songs.

[ogdjsparkle]

forgot sean levert...gerald's brother.. in Levert...he died shortly after gerald did

[looksrdeceivn]

@MrDasolution---here's a hug boo boo ({}).... calm down...let it go....breathe

[looksrdeceivn]

very nice...but i did not see Barry White...

[aleaux9619]

very informative video r.i.p.the good artist that past away

[MrDasolution]

Greene and Hyman got what they deserve for being bi-sluts. Sick-ass mutha-fuckaz, too bad more of those people aren't dead. And Luther Vandross got what he deserve. Fat KFC-eating, dick-sucking, faggot-ass father fucker.

[1022shrimpy]

@MrDasolution SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT KENNY LIKE YOU EVIL MOTHER FUCKER GOD IS GONNA PUNISH YOU WHO ARE YOU TO TALK ABOUT HIM AND PHYLLIS IF YOU CANT SAY ANYTHING NICE JUST SHUT THE UP YOU STUPID,AND KENNY WAS MORE OF A MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE AND I AM A FEMALE HE STILL WAS SEXY AS FUCK AND CAN SING VERY WELL I AM MAD I LET YOU MAKE ME COME OUT OF CHARACTHER YOU AINT EVEN WORTH IT JERK!!!!!!!

[ViVaLaCiCi]

Real Musical Genius R.I.P

[vito13001]

Slt à tous ses quoi la chanson d'ouverture

[universalconnections]

60% of these ppl are unknown

[mrjones2u]

The song playing during the Gerald Levert part has the exact same melody as the Toni Braxton song "I Dont Want To". Thought I'd see if anyone else noticed...

[MyJunior1975]

@mrjones2u Yeah, it does. The reason being is that like Toni Braxton's song, Gerald's song was written and produced by R. Kelly.

The song was called "Men Like Us" from Gerald's album "Love And Consequences" (The album that had "Thinking' Bout It" and "Taking Everything").

[sweetjonescinnamon]

@mrjones2u sure did.lol

[190819862011]

There is another one that should be added =( Static Major from Playa . He was producer as well and was best known for the recent (well sort of recent) hit Lollipop by Lil Wayne. RIP Static!

[MsToneil]

I definately appreciate clips like these. The give clearity & peace to the unknown. All Love is One Love.. Peace

[LEOJULY241981]

I bet all the 18 ppl who clicked dislike were the same 18 ppl that clicked the like button on that Selena comment.

[sc6977]

you won't believe your ears!!!

CHECK OUT THIS NEW ARTIST, HIS VIDEO *(YOU ARE THE ONE FOR ME)* IS VERY TOUCHING *******TYPE IN********JEFF FORCHION) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

JEFF'S NEW MUSIC IS ON HIS WEBSITE ,***click link under his youtube video***

[grwnasswoman]

Phyllis Hyman and Tony Thompson's stories always make me sad. So young. But I did not know about Mr. Greene etiher :(

[moemore1129]

Wow so surprising to hear about Tony from Hi Five. It is so unfortunate that some people in this video died in senseless death. This is great filming . yes I cried. They will be deeply missed but there voices and spirit lives on.

[VswayZ]

I DIDNT KNOW TONY FRO HI FIVE WAS DEAD....

[08chinup]

WHERE'S TUPAC

[nikkislims]

@08chinup it's r&b

[THEMETAPHY]

I too miss many of these Artists, I had the pleasure of growing-up in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990,and therefore was able to enjoy All of the Music from those eras, even the 1960s Music is considered in that era for me seeing how I was conceived in the late 1960s to the Great Music of that era, so sad what the "music" of today has deteriorated into.

[DaddyChadx78]

You know, I accidentally watched the entire video with my volume turned off and I was still moved. When I went to read the comments and discovered it had sound I re-watched it and it had way more impact. Great job!

[hngbones]

WOOOOW... U Rock homey.... I didnt even know about all these ppl!!!! Most of them were some of my fav groups!!!! SMH

[mgebi1]

Good job. compared to some of the other shit people posted as R&B. These songs have real R&B quality. Nice to see their are still people who understand what R&B is!

[PaparazziFame]

I swear when Aaliyah part came on I started crying hard. :''''(

[msstrawberries02]

@PaparazziFame me 2 :( so sad

[dwalker6811]

Very, very nicely done. Thank you

[Getrealpeeps]

R I P Phyllis Hyman. Her grand father played in the Cosby as Bill's Best friend, (I think)

[misstrish1980]

@Getrealpeeps he wasn't her grandfather but a distant cousin and he played bill cosby's dad on the cosby show.

[LBJFAN69]

[VANITYINSANITY119]

THIS VIDEO WAS SOOOOO WELL PUT TOGETHER! IT EVEN MADE ME EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL! IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE! I JUST WANTED TO SAY GREAT JOB!

[sslims740]

fucc the new school R&B

[MrCoby303]

these singers arent legends

[natosha2cute]

omg so so sadd life iz short so live it why yu kann

[maniac9565]

damn how the hell did time go by so quick

[rnbhaven]

@QuietStorm207 ? That song is How Could The One I Gave My Heart To by Aaliyah. Do you have any references to where it can be found sung by Xscape? I mean, I guess there's a chance I have the wrong version, but I've never heard Xscape sing it before.

[magichick2008]

@rnbhaven That is Aaliyah xscape don't sing that song.

[camille3322]

@rnbhaven you are right its aaliyah the 14th song on one in a million album

[boucoupthick504]

@rnbhaven No, You were right. Aaliyah sang that song, not Xscape. "The One I Gave my Heart To" was off her 2nd album.

[QuietStorm207]

@rnbhaven I apologize. I actually had it mixed up with another song. I was thinking of the song "The Arms Of The One Who Loves You." I can now, open mouth and insert both feet! :) Love your channel, by the way. You were right also, no1supermommie

[CeciToria23]

@rnbhaven No you have the right version and I never heard Xscape's version; I would like to hear it if there is one.

[shunybun]

@QuietStorm207 That's Aaliyah song - How Could the One I gave my heart to

[mentalforeplay]

@QuietStorm207 Actually... that is Aaliyah. I have never heard Xscape sing anything close to that. Perhaps you might have confused it with "Who Can I Run To" by Xsacpe

[QuietStorm207]

@mentalforeplay Yeh, i did have it confused, but I had it confused with Run To Th Arms Of The One Who Loves You.

[navybleu1]

@QuietStorm207 Nope that's Aaliyah. Not Xscape.

[theolams7477]

@QuietStorm207 yeah How could the one I gave my heart to is by Aaliyah I think you got that mixed up with a song by Xscape..maybe you were thinking of Run to the arms of the one who loves you..that is by Xscape.

[QuietStorm207]

@theolams7477 You're right. That's exactly the song I had it confused with.

[no1supermommie]

@QuietStorm207

ummm...not its not

[no1supermommie]

@QuietStorm207

ummm...no its not

[cmiller8308]

@QuietStorm207 The song played during Alliyah's bio is her song. It's not from Xscape. It's on her album One in a Million and it is titled The One I gave My Heart To.

[howardgirl22]

@QuietStorm207 That's definitely Aaliyah singing. O_0

[QuietStorm207]

@howardgirl22 Yeh, I had it confused with another song.

[NiAmbiTheMelody]

@QuietStorm207 no it's not. It's Aaliyah- The One I Gave My Heart To. There's a video to it and everything.

[QuietStorm207]

Wow, I never knew that about Damien Dame, but I wondered what happened with them. "When It Gets Right Down To It" is on my Ipod right now! Also, thats kinda spooky how they died on the same day 2 years apart!!! Thanks for the info!

[Machelle3200]

There must be a black heaven.....somewhere....I hope....

[QuietStorm207]

@Machelle3200 There's a Heaven for all people... I know it's hard to fathom, but God doesn't see color when he looks at us.

[musica1959]

Great job and very informational. Good woork kid!

[InLoveWith41]

when it gotto phyillis hyman i broke down. What a talent she was to die with such sorrow.

[Ozerris]

I don't think selena is considered a r&b singer. That's why she's not pictured

[cenalover386]

i actually got teary eyed watching this

this is a wonderful dedication , i love it!!

[sxymsviolet]

excellent

[SelenaRemixies]

Were's Selena? (1971 - 1995) I Could Fall in Love & Dreaming of You???

[SuavecitoBro2]

@SelenaRemixies ,

Those were beautiful songs produced by Full Force, but those songs were more pop-oriented.

[blissmermaid]

@SelenaRemixies they just featured R&B artists, Selena was a Mexican-American Singer.

[fashionguru07]

@SelenaRemixies I agree but Selena wasn't a R&B artist she was Tejano so she wouldn't appear on this list. This list consist of late 90s r&b artist only.

[TheSupernova247]

@SelenaRemixies Hi. Yes, that's correct. This is strictly for R&B music.

[gemia1981]

@SelenaRemixies selena wasn't a r & b artist

[CeciToria23]

@SelenaRemixies R.I.P. to Selena but she wasn't an R&B artist.

[Getrealpeeps]

@SelenaRemixies GOOD QUESTION

[destinaj234]

@SelenaRemixies these are r&b artists

[RayDog9091]

@SelenaRemixies Selena was a great singer but look at the title R & B artist

[GOINABILITY]

@SelenaRemixies I didn't know Selena recorded R&B. Stick to the script! Make a Selena vid as she was a very talented artist.

[Sahbisun]

@SelenaRemixies

She wasn't an R&B artist. (Hello?)

[LEOJULY241981]

@SelenaRemixies Sorry Selena is not R&B

[lifeofalady]

@SelenaRemixies /no offense i like selena but she is pop not R&B :)

[chonychuckbass]

RIP luther vandross

[mareK1352]

Does anybody know the song playing at the very beggining of the video? like right before Ephraim Lewis - 1968 - 1994.

plz help! x

[RiRiDon26]

@mareK1352 Crossroads - Bone Thugz n Harmony

[mareK1352]

@RiRiDon26 Thankyou! reli appreciate that :)

[mareK1352]

@RiRiDon26 Thanks alot!

[TheBatGab]

I'm glad these people didn't live though what we have, because they would be ruined by the way our pop culture is.. I want to remember them just the way they are and not messed up by the music we have.

[jp246810]

Dayum, cars played the biggest roll in ending these star's lives... make no since.

[clbuen25]

The one very artist that was my favourite here was Tony Thompson from Hi-Five. From this day on I still listen to his Greatest Hits with Hi-Five! "I can't wait another minute" and "the kissing game" was my two favourite tracks. Its a shame they don't play love songs like these anymore. It puts a tear to my eye that music these days don't have a meaning anymore. There is no sense or style of that real rnb love songs. All we can do is reminsce about the good days! Thanks for this clip it was good

[MsGemini528]

All of the people on this list had unforgettable voices that set them apart from all of the other voices of their time. R.I.P to all of these beautifully talented people. Gone but never forgotten. Their legacies live on through their music and fans. Music never dies.

[LilMama2312]

Omg, R.I.P. Kenny Greene & Dino. Two of THE BEST voices of the 90's PERIOD.

[thesunwillshineonme]

very nice video

[ariyonna8]

I enjoyed this video,it was very well put together.Thank you for taking the time to do this,I appreciate it.

[MsNJest1985]

This was a well put together tribute of all of these artists and their music still lives on in many hearts. Thanks for the great memories and to the person who posted this thanks for filling me in because some of these artists such as Kenny (Intro) & Tony(Hi-Five) I didn't know they were deceased or didn't their causes of death. To me this is more of like a wake up call, life is short so live it the best way u can.

[cjacja21]

So much talent gone.... Aaliyah and Left Eye were probably the most successful out of this group, but to me, its not all about who sells the most records. They are ALL talented. Some never got that chance to shine, xxx Rise In Power & Piece xxx

And Luther! How could I omit him! xxx

[cjacja21]

So much talent gone.... Aaliyah and Left Eye were probably the most successful out of this group, but to me, its not all about who sells the most records. They are ALL talented. Some never got that chance to shine, xxx Rise In Power & Piece xxx

[odesa4u]

beautiful tribute .......well done

[MisterNelson]

Thank you for this!

[BABiZUKii]

Omqqqq mann im sittn ova here cryn my asz off...i swear iont even kno wat to say.. R.I.P to all that passed away truly missed nd loved by many.

[MrBmxe2010]

what song it that that kenny of intro was singing

[1022shrimpy]

@MrBmxe2010 RIBBON IN THE SKY STEVIE WONDER REMAKE

[msstrawberries02]

I was so upset when aaliyah died I was 17 I m turning 27 this year damn time really pass us by

[groovyboy59]

@msstrawberries02 Gosh you're so right. Can't believe it's been 10 years since Aaliyah passed away, 9 years concerning Left Eye. We were teens when they left this world, but I listen to these music every day. I don't think I can stand this sh***ty auto-tuned commercial puppets giving us noisy thingies, electronic music that hasn't been worked by artists, untalented cheesy dolls, freaky songs dealing with money, sex (Nicky Minaj ain't the new Left Eye)... I MISS THE 90S.

[JediDrallig2]

nvm I found it I love it :D

[JediDrallig2]

where did you get that version of Ribbons in the Sky? if you want to know what I mean skip to 4:03 I like it

[LilMama2312]

@JediDrallig2 That was from the group Intro. I walked to that version when I got married. Kenny (R.I.P.) sang the mess outta that song!

[1022shrimpy]

@LilMama2312 YES HE DID I LOVE YOU KENNY GREENE!!!!

[urfullyconfused]

Wow I didnt know Tony Thompson passed. There are so many gone feels like it all happened 1 after the other at one point. Life is unpredictable and we were blessed 2 enjoy their talents when we could and still do. RIP

[Lysha85]

This was a well put together video R.I.P to all  these artist... I was doing ok until they showed Dino from H-Town that song he was singing had me in tears soon as it came on!!! I had a huge crush on him!! They were all so talented and will truly be missed.

[MexicanAsian253]

I was aaliyah's #1 fan and i cried for hours that weekend i found out she died...:(

[niseangel]

God bless the dead ..see ya in heven

[niseangel]

bone thug

[PointofBlu]

I did not know that Ephraim Lewis was dead....wow.

I want to call my wife, but she passed too....

Drowning in your eyes was one of our songs....

Also, Dino of Htown...wasn't his pregnant girlfriend in the car too...?

[iphonejag]

Thanks for posting. I didn't know any of the guys had died except Luther and Gerald. But, many people don't know what a lost when Phyllis died. Awesome songtress. I am looking for a copy of all her albums. R.I.P. To all

[kupidzheart]

this made me feel some kind of way........wow

[jib912]

Dang when u put Aaliyah on there u jus really made most of the world love dis.......Ughhhhhh i wish she cud come bak and do jus one more Concert.......

[111crazyvideo111]

This is buddy wike from the group INTRO im reaching out to all the fans of INTRO i have song im putting out i would like if you check them out ****i also have a artist name DOE BOY im puting out so click on my page and enjoy love INTRO

[Anjaayla]

Today's music is autotuned down a lot of the old artist could tear it up outside the studio. I miss old music.

[sakser]

Nice video thanks for the info...

[DawgcityClev]

induced air conditioner fumes? Man people in this world are psychotic! Who thinks up shit like that to do to themselves?

[regvision]

@DawgcityClev HOLD IT FRIEND! thats something that can happen to anybody by accident. please dont jump to conclusions on this, you can be in a hotel or house and the air conditioning FILTERS havent been cleaned in months or even years and that stuff can get in your lungs so bad that its like GRASS growing inside your lungs WHEN THEY DO INSPECTIONS ON THESE KINDS OF HOUSES THEY CALL THEM SICK HOUSES (be careful)

[DawgcityClev]

@regvision INDUCED means to succeed in persuading or influencing (someone) to do something. In other words it was done with intent. Not from a sick house. You're way off base here buddy.

[mrsereed]

THX 4 DOING THIS, THIS IS VERY PRICELESS

[MsReese313]

Thanks 4 the walk down memory lane.... Allot of these singers were apart of my soundtrack in high school..... Intro.... Kenny G man I loved his voice and music style.. All of them gone 2 soon... I have nothin negative 2 say..... Good Job..... Peace

[karey26]

Great video. I didn't know about Ephraim Lewis, will look his music up. While all tragic, the ones that really hit me hard were Aaliyah and Tony Thompson because they were so young and had much left to contribute to r&b. I shed a tear every time I think about it.

[havolia127]

Man i was just fine until i watched this, im 38 years old and this made me tear up, how sad their untimely deaths were!

[mlkargbo]

Great video

[Latoyammallory]

Wow.....kinda made me sad...Didn't know that Kenny died from aids...On the other hand, they were all great musicians....

[Soultourist]

Dino (H - Town) R.I.P and all the fallen greats...

[CottonCandyBrandy]

Very respectfully and inspirationally put together as a "Remembrance vid" in this arena of music. Beautifully done and very well selected!! Thanxx!! X0X! to the uploader!

[micljnes]

I think 'Missing you' would have been an apt track to play during the Aaliyah track, but it's all good. Peace.

[robaarm]

their time was up, everyone is not going to live to get old...

rob

[LadyNyke]

This video was very inspiring and knowledgable of who passed away and how they died .. some rumors are now put to an end after seeing this thanks ... I am truellly inspired of everyones story into the music business .. I think you did a great job. R>I>P to all LEGENDS ... your music lives on forever

[Silentgenius01]

This is so sad :(

[miboobala]

RIP All LEGENDS. Tony thompson actually died of freebasing herion.

[bigazzpimp407]

@miboobala No he didn't. He died from an overdose/overexposure to Freon from an air conditioner. Whoever provided you with that information is wrong.

[jeni0978]

Great Job R.I.P. to all

[BLAKPEARL69]

Phyllis was a beautiful human being.

[MsFIRSTLADY35]

GREAT TALENT....NEVER FORGOTTEN

[TheCaulfield1]

So so sad that all of this wonderful talent has left us. I got so upset when I saw Luther, God, I love this man's music and still listen to it all the time now. Phyllis was such a classy lady with a gorgeous rich tone to her voice.

R.I.P. to all of these amazing people who will never be forgotton ♥♥♥

[baabaalucious]

Wow this is touching, for someone so young at the time to write something so sweet and memoriable, thank you very much for remembering these talented musicians. I'm a big fan regardless of what people say : D

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

RIP to all of them.

I Love You Aaliyah, My Idol Forever

[mrsmarkwahlberg]

To the one who did this video....you know there is always someone who wants to put their two cents in ...don't worry about it *SMILES* I enjoyed it.

[mrsmarkwahlberg]

To the one who did this video....you know there is always someone who put there two cents in ...don't  worry about it *SMILES* I enjoyed it.

[kaygee1984]

Rest In Paradise to all of you guys. Its funny how all of the 90''s music sound so better than this crap of r&b we got today you would think the music would get better with time instead it got weak. Damn i miss my girl Aaliyah she died so young.

[donnasimmons100]

You did a wonderful job....

[ciarajoslyn]

THIS WAS AWESOME, GREAT AND WONDERFUL. U SHOULD DO MORE

[yowurl01]

Great Job thanks for sharing!

[MrFuzzylogik]

damn, I didnt know that Dino from H'town & tony thompson had died. Bit of a shock there. All these artists are truly missed.

Any chance of doing one on hip-hop artists?? Big-L, Freaky ty, scott the rock etc even though most of them were shot!!

[mellysweeney]

Very sweet, but your commentary was awful. Next time get someone with writing skills skills ..."Unfortunately Left Eye was unable to complete her 2nd solo album or TLC's 4th... CAUSE SHE DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT!!" Jeez. You must be like, 16 years old.

[rnbhaven]

@mellysweeney Critiquing commentary in a YouTube video... stay classy San Diego.

Though, actually you are close. I wrote this about 5 years ago, and so was about 18 at the time. OF course, you didn't take into consideration the fact that it's trying to compress as much information as possible into single sentences that will fit on a YouTube video. Given that, I'm curious what you would have rather seen in a video about musicians careers and their passing. But hey, everyone's a critic.

[ancrumq12]

Damn im speechless right now ...... all this talent we've lost over the years damn...

[hahaitzhaha]

you forgot barry white and james brown and marvin gaye

[mellysweeney]

@hahaitzhaha Barry White, James Brown and Marvin Gaye are legends... but this was for 90's R&B singers

[ariescutie76]

great vid big ups to aaliyah,lisa,luther and gerald but may all r.i.p.

[Infamous256]

Aaliyah was ahead of her time. I have no doubt in my mind that if she were still alive today that she would be the biggest female artist on the planet. She pioneered a style that even young music fans today still admire. R.I.P. Aaliyah

[90sKidMusic]

@Infamous256 I agree. I see alot of the new artists like Ciara etc all trying to Mimic Aaliyah's style. 

[Heavensdoor05]

wonderful video !

whats the first song please ?

[SoSoPrettyMS21]

Phyllis gives me chills.

[kelz0974]

OO MM GG!! I NEVER NEW THAT SO MANY OF OUR ARTISTS HAVE PASSED ON. GREAT JOB WITH THIS VIDEO.

[ilovebebe88]

Aaliyah :(

God, she was beautiful..

[earthshe]

nice.... thank you!!
