Attending High School in Brooklyn, New York, the pair began recording at the start of the Eighties. D-Train earned their nickname from James Williams defensive tactics in the division and city championship football team.
James was a recognised member of the Erasmus High School Choral Club. Having signed to the Epic / Prelude label, the group found greater success in the U.K. than in America. The duo scored three U.K. Top 30 hits with 'You're The One For Me' (Dance chart number 1 in 1982), 'Music, Part 1' (in 1983 and containing the songs 'Keep Giving Me Love' and 'Are You Ready For Me') and 'You're The One For Me (Remix)' in 1985.
Their own version, of the Dionne Warwick standard 'Walk On By', was highly popular on the U.K. Soul Scene.
D-Train's biggest U.S. hit was the BilIboard R & B Top 5 single 'Something's On Your Mind' in 1983. The group went their seperate ways in 1985 with James Williams pursuing a solo career. His three notable hits were 'Misunderstanding' (number 10 in 1986), 'Oh, How I Love You (Girl)' (number 22 in 1987), and 'In Your Eyes' (number 11 in 1988, taken from the album of the same name).

I'll Be Good
D Train Lyrics
I want to know just how you feel
Said I wanna know if what you feel is real
'Cause there is a reason for the things that I say
I wanna love you, boy, in a special way
We've been together for so very long
I would hate to break up, break up my happy home
The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Of all these things there lies a tie
Makes me feel that it's worth a try
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, baby
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you
We've been together for a very long time
I want to make up, I'll be yours, you'll be mine, baby
So take a step, now and let me know how
All of your ways, boy, and all your know-how
The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Of all these things, there lies a tie
Makes me feel that it's worth a try
I'll be good to you, sweet baby, I'll be good to you
I'll be good to you, baby, yeah, I'll be good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you
Said I wanna know if what you feel is real
'Cause there is a reason for the things that I say
I wanna love you, boy, in a special way
We've been together for so very long
I would hate to break up, break up my happy home
The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Makes me feel that it's worth a try
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, baby
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you

I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you

@funecobikesvelo5315
The big analog sound of the years 80 with real synths typical of the time and as we no longer know how to make it feel to today's people who know only the music with samples and without any construction rhythmic, melodic and without real singing and instrument ....
