- Underrated is the perfect word to describe the impact these three men made in the world of music. Talent, vocals, lyricism…they had it all. However, it was easy to get lost among all the colour-coordinated outfits and choreographed dance routines, including perfectly timed pelvic thrusts, of their peers. Hit records and commercial success still came their way as they continued to just be themselves. Then, a shocking tragedy would stop everything in its tracks. Let’s find out whatever happened to American 90’s R&B trio Intro.

Kenny Green could blow. Their version of "Ribbon in the Sky" is probably the only Stevie cover that I prefer over the original.
Facts!
I can respect that, BUT....you can't knock Donell Jones' version of Knocks Me Off My Feet (no pun intended).
Facts
Yessss he did a better job imo.
Wow, that Stevie cover is amazing.
Talented brothers. Come Inside is one of the coldest bedroom bangers, still...RIP Kenny
I know the first album in 1993 is still being played on my playlist until this day.
@@musiclover-cn7tb Yessssss! Come Inside is my jam….ALWAYS!
He was talking about another man
@@claytonstarrjr9788 And !! So what if he was. You think you're the first person to say that. That shit gets old. It doesn't matter who he was talking about, a good song is a good song.
@@hayleyburns.9384 nigga who the duck is you ? Did I call for you? Hell naw so keep my name out your mouth cause you don't know me..you on here defending an DL ...you might be on the DL too!!!
RIP 💔 KENNY. They need an Unsung episode.
I do agree
In an interview, Buddy said that they were waiting for Unsung to contact them but, they never reached out. So, that's why they decided to do their own documentary.
Yes they do
I soooo agree with you? Unsung probably don't know alot of information about Kenny except what he did music wise and what he died from. And the family most likely won't agree to do the episode also won't give an okay for Tv One to do it on Kenny.
@@JuicyPopEntertainment sad 😥 😞 😢 😔 😕.
Whatever happened to the group portrait because here we go was my jam and still is to this day I'll never forget when they were on an episode of Family Matters
Don't forget "honey dip" song
They are.
I love Portrait’s music. They were definitely underrated in the 90s. I watched an interview with them here on CZcams, they were talking about their 2nd album how that album didn’t get much commercial success and basically forced them out of the limelight. They’re still making music today with two of the original members.
Here we go was the Jam
I love portrait oh my God my favorite song from them is day by day and Night by night. I also like honey dip and here we go of course those are just the ultimate '90s r&B moods for me. I would love to watch a documentary on portrait they were amazing. They were on family matters weren't they?! They sure was I'm going to try to look it up
I still play "Come inside" and "Ribbon in the Sky" today. Great video!
I do too!
Me too and 'Let Me Be The One'.
Kenny Green Was The Best Vocalist In That Group. Rip Legend!! ❤
Ribbon in the sky and come inside.... Super classics... Definitely a talented group and Kenny's voice and pen game was second to none... Rest in peace Kenny ❤️
LET ME BE THE ONE is my favorite song from them
That song is so slept on.
Yes.
@@MsKim510 I love it too it's on my male playlists the beat of the song always grabbed me.
@@MsKim510 I know it's a banger ❤️.
Also come inside was a jam too
Intro was OFF THE CHAIN! Kenny's pen game was one of a kind.
AGREE 100% THEY WERE TOTALLY OFF THE CHAIN.
Their version of "Ribbon in the sky" is a classic 💯
Yesssss
It was so fun growing up in the 90s....the music, the clothes, jewelry, hairstyles....
A blessed time. that shall never get played out. I 12 was back in 1999
Omg I use to LOVE them! I listened to their tape on my Walkman every morning on my way to school. Then they just disappeared. Back then there was no explanation and ppl would just forget about it. I did not learn about Kenny's background and passing until recently. RIP Kenny
Kenny's writing and vocal arrangements were truly both educational and inspirational.
Ppl don’t know how vocal arrangements are so important!!!
That debut is legendary. RIP Kenny! ❤
EVERY 👏🏾 SINGLE 👏🏾 TRACK 👏🏾 That whole album, start to finish 🔥❤️
🥰🔥🗣”Come Inside” Was one of the best hits from this Music Trio🎤🎧
Music for the Ladies 💃🏾🕺🏿Baby💕🤩Still in my For the Grown Folks Playlist Today🤪❤️💃🏾
That's my shit...still till this day
Yes indeed
Intro was the first concert I went too at the Apollo theater. Those was some fun times and I will never forget
I still listen to their music. Ribbon in the sky hands down are his best vocals.
I remember reading the sister to sister article about Kenny Green it was soo sad one of the members didn’t go visit him in the hospital and he was dying
Me too! I will never forget I read that Sister to Sister article while at work. I read the article in a hospital gift shop ( was on a work break at the time🤭) and I remember feeling shocked and sad about that article interview. He stated he contracted that A-thing from a male nurse he was dating.😔...The nurse didn't have any symptoms but he had it. So sad.
A cop? Wow! I tell ya......these documentaries are nothing short of wonderful. Learning more and more. R.I.P. Kenny. I remember like yesterday receiving the news that he’d died. Another stellar performance, Queen Narrator. 💖💖💖
Cause they are straight to the point. I love it.
@@nastynat1001 Yes indeed. 😊❤️
@ 0:31 damn Bobby! No wonder Whitney was so sprung 😝
😭😂
@@yellowsubmarine3725 I know I saw that same thing when I watched the remix video for you don't have to worry 😁💀.
@@yellowsubmarine3725 those gyrations got him arrested for being lewd in public while he was doing a concert.
@@yellowsubmarine3725 I can see it too I've always seen it even when I wasn't old enough to be looking I remember the ones from Roni video the live version😁💀.
Was thinking the same dayum thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of my favorite groups. Kenny was a talent❤💔
One of the Very. Best. Groups. Ever!!! Love their version of Ribbon in the sky. RIP Kenny 💔
I like their song "Let Me Be the One".
I hope you do stories on Color Me Badd, Tara Kemp, Onyx, Shai, AZ, Today, Groove B Chill, Keith Murray, Mase, Amerie, Horace Brown, 3T, just to name a few
Damn, man I forgot some of these folks. Great list.
Can't wait.
Old School Classic,s was the best.enjoy listening to all greats artists.
Also Sunshine Anderson and Truth Hurts.
Don't forget ABC (Another Bad Creation), Mint Condition, Black Street, Jodeci, After 7, All-4-One, Guy, Joe Public
The video for Come Inside was on heavy rotation on BET
It sure was and I wasn't even old enough to be watching it or listening to the album version of the song was way more explicit 😂😂.
Don't I know it🤣! I was a teen and the song was getting on my nerves....Ahhh memories🤗
Midnight Love showed the video constantly.
After Kenny passed it was over
I still jam both of their albums! I remember that Sister 2 Sister interview. I was glad that Kenny finally got to speak his truth and was so upset when he passed. He was truly the heartbeat of the group. ❤️
Yea he seemed to have a major chip on his shoulder, he knew who gave him the virus so I guess that's why
I remember I used to subscribe to Sister 2 Sister magazines(amongst others) and I kept this issue and the interview made me feel some type of way. I felt sad for some reason.
Kenny Greene and Prince were the only two artists that when I found out they passed, I literally stared at the wall all day long. For Princes death, I heard Devante Swing did the same thing, and I respect him for it because Prince actually dissed him back in '89/'90 when he took the Greyhound all the way from NC to Minn. to Paisley Park to try to become an in-house producer.
It kinda of messed with me that I just found out that Trisco and Jessie D of Force MDs got knocked out the box along with Faith's producer that brought out the ballad material on her '95 Faith CD: Chucky Thompson. Ronnie Wilson, Uncle Charlies (1 of his brothers) from The Gap Band, Desmond Tutu, and Sidney Portier. Grim Reaper is catchin' wreck out here in these streets, guys.
💔RIP Kenny Greene 🙏 I still listens to Intro. Kenny's voice is undeniable dude can sang like crazy. I love they're beautiful ❤️ version of tha Stevie Wonder CLASSIC "Ribbon In the Sky"
I had to go listen to their first album. I'm back in 1993 right now lol. I wish I could like this video a thousand times! Thanks for the content!
I still love Intro, it hurt my soul when Kenny passed. Both of their albums are still played by me and will be forever. Imagine all of the great music we are missing because the genius passed away. 🖤
Legendary they are never stopped listening since 93. Rip King Kenny..
Next to Jodeci, this was my favourite group in the 90's.I still have their debut album and can listen to it all day.
YES
I still have their debut album, too!
@@mskita007 mine is on cassette tape - I'm so old skool!! 😅
@@cfran671 nothing wrong with that! I have some old music on cassette, too. Much respect! ✊🏾
Mannn, I loved this group! Kenny's voice was everything! R.I.P Kenny
Intro songs I still listen to 😌 R.I.P to Kenny 😔I was so obsessed with his voice
Kenny Greene was fine RIP 🕊♥️🙏🏾
And gay
He liked u and him.
I remember that sister 2 sister interview shortly after he passed away. Very sad. He is still a legend in my eyes!! He wrote the best songs in that time.
Loooove Intro. That whole album was bumping! They were soooo underrated. When I seen Intro on that episode of New York Undercover, I knew Kenny was deathly SICK. He looked awful. REST ON KENNY G♥️
Can you do a video on Portrait (90s R&B group) next?
Thanks for the story on Intro could you please do Rome, Soul 4 Real,or AZ Yet peace and blessings keep them comin👍🏽👍🏽
And Special Ed the rapper
Intro is why ribbon in the sky was sung in my wedding. I used to think it was their original song instead Stevie wonder’s lol. The producers of unsung need to reach out to these dudes! I also loved their 2nd album too! RIP Kenny ✊🏾
I remember Intro also performed a cover of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On on New York Undercover on the episode Manchild
"they asked to be discharged" , that was hilarious. If it worked that way....
Right, if it was that easy we’d hardly have a military
Yesss they had the voice but this industry will chew u up especially not knowing the business
We played “A Ribbon in the sky” at my wedding!!! This group was one of the best in the 90’s!!! Classic albums and songs for life!!!!
I can play their first album from start to finish. It’s rare when you get those 🙌🏾
They did the hell out of Ribbon 🎀 in the Sky…My favorite song by them❤️They definitely need a Unsung…
Man, I always find myself wanting to know what happened to certain artists until I see the bad news or how much they struggled and it makes me feel sad.
Great video! 👍 I loved "Come Inside"and the video. Kenny cowrote one of my favorite Mary J. songs, "Love No Limit".
He wrote reminisce as well and another song on that album he wanted intro to have a similar sounding song so they recorded ectasy of love which was only on the CD version.
I can’t believe Kenny was on the DL!
But niggas on the dl err day B
Yeah I don’t think too many people knew especially at that time. The group was dope and Kenny’s voice was priceless.
I was in shock back in the day, but can see it now
Yes he was bisexual! But it didn't take away from his talent he and the will never be another Kenny! I still listen to his music and those things are still going on today! Rest well Kenny you are truly missed!!
There
If Kenny would have caught his illness early he could have got on meds and most likely would still be living.
@Dante Kelly also a lot of people are afraid to get tested but it’s better knowing your status, treating it than waiting.
If he caught it in the earlly or mid 90"s, there were no cure for AIDs . Even with treatment back then, people stil died. In 2001 when he died, they were just being able to treat individuals with this illness. But, I'm more inclined to believe what others posted. Kenny knew something was wrong ,but hid it of fear of rejection. Or, he was in denial.
@@khadijahbilal9325 when did magic Johnson find out he had aids? He’s still living. There still is no cure for aids.
Now there's Truvada/PreP X. It wasnt out when Kenny was barely around not for long.
the meds back then were killing people so a lot of people were afraid to take them and AZT -- HIV meds have come a long way
Come inside is literally on my play list! 90s music hit so hard back then and still does now! I never knew they lost a member, 🙏 Rip Kenny!
"Let Me Be the One" love the violins in the beginning!
I’ve never heard of this group but, still a very appreciated story.
Omg really? I remember when they came out. Come inside was my favorite by them!
You missing out, you have got to hear Kenny vocals...
Must have been before yall time because they definitely was in rotation with that first album
You're young
Thank you I just downloaded ‘ Funny How Time Flies.’ Has no idea it was Intro. Fantastic channel love it ❤️
I loooove that song I always knew it was them .
Their first CD was a banger! No skips! The 2nd was good as well. But it definitely was different that their first release. My ex boyfriend was stationed with both Buddy and Kenny.
Seems Kenny kept his business to himself, which was the correct thing to do! His sexuality wasn't anybody's business!
He should’ve told ppl, maybe he could’ve SAVED someone’s life!
Let me be the one has one of those infectious intros. ( no pun intended ) that piano 🔥🔥🔥
The video was hot too that whole album is flames
@@adrew7799 oh yes the CD only bonus track ectasy of love is another one.
So Many Reasons and Strung Out are my two favorite Intro songs. I be studying this R&B 90's era like it's a college course and went crazy when I first heard those two tracks a couple of years ago lol
The REAL version of Come Inside is my joint 😈
Kenny had some of the best vocal arrangements with KILLER backgrounds….Gone too soon
RIP Kenny Greene🌹one of my favorite groups Intro 💜💜💜
Highly slept on debut album...Thank you for this.
I still listen to intro to this day, they were a great group of the 90’s
Intro is one of my favorite groups in the 90s especially come inside and anything for you was my jam rip Kenny
me and my girl love these... thank you and keep em coming
Kenny was the man! Dude did the damn backgrounds too! Part of my college days I'll never forget.
Wow this was a really good one. I always wondered what happened to them. Thank you for sharing
Come Inside is my song! Definitely was way before my time but still one of my favorite songs.
I've always liked Intro! Thank you for covering them!!
Come inside was the jam that was there first #1 hit song back in 1993!
I don’t really remember this group like that but, it was easy to spot that Kenny wasn’t “straight”.
So sad when ppl struggle with things alone 🥺 especially when they are in the spotlight painted to be something they aren’t. Double struggle.
If you were around in the 90s you'd know them, you must be really young
Yes, Kenny Greene's physical apperance on the second album cover art is suspicious. And it looks like he lost a lot of weight. RIP.
You sent me back to 'Let Me Be The One'. Great and informative video. RIP to the talented brother.
Thank you for these type of videos. I will do anything to bring back the 90s and 80s music. Plus, Intro is a talented group!!
It's so amazing when you watch these, little documentaries. To know what happened to you idols or groups. Very sad what happened to one of the members. Many live with HIV now
My mom had a tape and it literally was come inside nonstop on both sides. I couldn’t understand her obsession with the song til I was a teenager & I fully understand now
Kenny was such an amazing songwriter and vocal arranger
I love this channel.
For Always on that Tyrese 2, 000-Watts album is one of my favorite songs. Didn't know Kenny did vocals for that joint. It's a great song! If you haven't listened to it check it out! Also just check out that entire album by Tyrese, it's my favorite by him.
I barely listen to that one, I'm gone have to dust it off
I didn’t know that . Thanks for sharing
Make up your Mind, Housekeeping, and I Like Dem Girls were my favorite...definitely a good album
I LOVE that album. Now, I really need to go back and listen.
Come inside was one of the Biggest Songs ever and Intro is still one of my favorite GROUPS from back in the DAY'S and R.I.P to Big Bro Kenny.
Great Job Sis💜, I talked to Jeff for awhile in the early 2000's .
Can you imagine all of the groupies he slept with ? Omg 💔
Thank U 4 this. Where can I watch the docU next month. I loved Intro...It cracks me up. How young I was singing come inside once I got grown ... The 90s gotta love it .....
Thank you for posting about singing group Intro. I remember their remake "Ribbon in the Sky" song and music video. My late Mommy had the Intro debut album cassette tape which I had taken to daycare and got in trouble for it when I was age 8 going on 9 in year 1993. Memory! :) Rest in Power to Kenny. Date Stamp: 05june21
You’re the GOAT for this
The debut album is a classic. 'Why don't you love me' and Love Thang aswell as Let Me Be are still on my playlist
That first Cd was a classic! Still listen to it! R.I.P. Kenny
souds like usung material. I loved this group and had no idea about all of the tragedy and hardships.
I use to bump this album in high school going to class and singing
Intros start at the beginning of the 90s musically was amazing as there sound was at the top of the charts & that decade brought forth probably the greatest cultural change known in the world to date, in my opinion. Lots of information in this 12 minute clip & thank you for reporting🎶💯🎶
I was surprised to see this video I listen to this group growing up and about 2 weeks ago one of their songs stayed in my head and I’ve been listening to them ever since love their music
I truly don't remember this group or song...!! Great video.
#RIP
Another CZcams channel called Celebrity Underrated also did a story on Kenny Greene too
The song come inside is gon forever be my jam 💕 💕
I still bust out singing Intro songs to this day. Love their music….so sad when back then I heard on of the members passed away…wow I didn’t know that was the reason until now…
Im always bumping "Come inside ,let me be the one and "Ribbon in the sky on my Dj speaker. Kenny's voice just did something to your heart ,mind and soul. How this man passed away is devastating, totally preventable...an EXTREMELY talented,young man taken away too damn soon.😔😔😔
Love this group album still on deck
One of my Favorite R&B Groups off all time I miss the 90’s R&B .
I *LOVED* this group I played their CD to death while in high school. Every single day. I may have loved them more than Jodeci. Very fond memories of my youth.. 💜💜💜💜
Can you cover Portrait? This is a wonderful platform!
One of a Kind Love is one of my favorite songs
Mines too 🥰
That’s how we do it, when we get right down too it, me & you, one of a kind ❤️
