Help with the old memory!!!

Post by chalks »

It’s been bugging me for months, so this is a last throw of the dice

In the late 80’s there was a black boy band who had a couple of hits. What was their name?!

I remember being on holiday in 89 and they were high in the charts

Help!!!

Assuming you were on holiday in the summer of '89, I checked all the top tens for the summer months (I'm on holiday, time on my hands) and the only black boy band I could find was:



Tell me it's not this.

Btw, big hits that summer were Black Box, Jive ****ing Bunny and Soul II Soul.
