Troop
Biography
Troop was a California teen band that got its start by winning $1000 in a talent show in the mid-'80s. The Pasadena, California group were then signed to Atlantic, and their debut single, "Mamacita," reached number two on the R&B charts in 1989. It was modeled after their inspiration, New Edition, whose "Cool It Now" they had lip synched to win the contest. Levert served as their producers on "Mamacita," and the lead vocalists were Steve Russell and Allen McNeil. Their second release, Attitude, earned a gold certification in 1990, and their third was Deepa in 1992. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

My girlfriend broke up with me and I don't know what love is. My girl is going to be so anti- guy girl because of her reglion, and she is not aloud to date any body or gender, and she is not aloud to get marry to anybody,so she can't be my true love, I am roamntic, sweet to girls. I am real easy to get along with. I'm looking for my true love.
