@Minordd3 ... David left. There is only Jonathan and Wayne Lewis left out of the original band. They've had so many female singers, I can't keep up. They are good, but not like Barbara Weathers and Sharon Bryant. They need a reunion, just one good reunion. It would be off the hook.

@lookahere ...looking at R&B artists who leave for Gospel Music, I have seen at least 2 who have went back into R&B such as Coko and Kelly Price. They might be doing it for the money as Gospel music dosent' get as much, but after looking at David on Unsung, he's been doing ministry since the late 90's and has already been approached about doing a Atlantic Starr reunion cd and turned it down, I don't think know if he would do a reunion, maybe a one time thing on tv. At least he's staying true.

@jmusic45 Oh wow! Yeah, you're probably right. Once they get deep into religion, it's usually a rap for their past careers. Even if it's just for one reunion show. Well, thank goodness we have the recordings to listen to. Thanks for the info.

I just saw an article on the internet. "What ups with R&B". It's not R&B anymore: its a fusion of R&B/Pop and Hip Hop. They have pushed our real singers and groups (that play real instruments) on the back burner. I don't never see Peobo Bryson unless they are doing a tribute to someone. It's sad. Even though Atlantic Starr dosen't have David, Barbara and Sharon, Wayne and Jonathan is holding it up. So I'm glad they are traveling. We need some real music with REAL singers.

@mkburnett1 ...David didn't die, he gave his life to God and left the group in 1994. Watch UnSung. If you don't get TVOne, I believe they have the whole episode on their website. It's probably on here now. He and his wife do music ministry, and they have a cd out on CdBaby. Check out their website. The group is not the same without their key lead singers. I doubt David would come back. But Wayne seems to be holding it up along with his brother Jonathan.

@hitor3net ,,,He still sounds the same. Their songs are nice. The cd is on CDBaby, and I plan to get it. I'm happy for him.

@lookahere ..they only have 2 originals members, so this is Atlantic Starr, but only with the 2 Lewis brothers: Wayne and Jonathan. David who sang the leads with Barbara on "Always", "Secret Lovers", and did "My Sugar", "Closer" and others left the band in 94, and is doing music ministry now. After watching UnSung, I didn't know he left the group. Without David, Barbara Weather and Sharon Bryant, is isn't the same. Even if they could get a reunion, I double David would come back.

It is sad this band have lost one of the original member and two fantastic female singers left the band and started solo or others group (Change) career,...Anyway, nice to hear this,...
