1. Intro (R&B group)
The trio Intro was comprised of lead singer Kenny Greene, Jeff Sanders and Clinton 'Buddy' Wike. The group's name is actually an acronym, standing for Innovative New Talent Reaching Out.
When the group released their self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records in 1993, they offered a strong urban contemporary sound that featured a polished, yet neo-soul vibe. The album scored several successful tracks that did well on the charts and helped the group's debut album go gold. In 1993, the group released 'Love Thang,' 'Let Me Be The One,' and 'Come Inside,' all of which broke the top 30 in the R&B charts. 'Come Inside,' the most successful of the tracks, reached #9 on the R&B charts and topped off at #33 on the Hot 100. The album's final single, 'Ribbon In The Sky,' was a remake of Stevie Wonder's track and managed to reach #11 on the R&B charts.
In 1995, the group released a second album, New Life, which was meant to reflect upon a new era for the group. Unfortunately, the album failed to match the first album's success despite its maturity. Nevertheless, it still had several charting singles, with 'Never Again,' 'Funny How Time Flies,' and 'Feels Like The First Time,' all making it onto the R&B charts.
The major driving force behind the group Intro was their lead singer, Kenny Greene. Greene acted as producer on every single song on the group's album New Life, and worked heavily with many other artists in the industry. Greene is given writing credentials for tracks by Mary J. Blige, Soul 4 Real, Will Smith, 98 degrees and many more. His talents did not go unrecognized as he tied for the ASCAP's award for R&B Songwriter of the Year. Unfortunately, Greene passed away on October 1, 2001 due to complications from AIDS.

Shh
You don't have to say it, I know
I know I haven't been there for you lately, I'm sorry
It's not that I'm running out on you
I wanna be into you
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
Don't leave me
We were in love
And now you tell me that
You wanna turn and walk away
All of my sunshine
And happiness
Turned to rainy days
How could you be in love so strong
And throw it all away
You promised to love me
Never to leave me
Forever and a day
Sometimes I feel that I'm lost without you
Lost without your love
Sometimes I feel that I'm going under
There's no one above you
Sometimes I feel that I just don't know the words I need to say
Don't you ever go away (I'm so lost without you baby)
Baby don't leave me
You're all that I want (You're all that I want)
You're all that I need
And I just can't live without you
Baby don't leave me
Don't leave me
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
And I just can't live without you
Baby don't leave me
Don't leave me
You know I need you in my life
Like the flower needs the rain
I want you by my side
To keep my heart from pain
No need for promises
No need for sympathy
All that I hope for
All that I pray for is
That you'll stay with me
Sometimes I feel that I'm lost without you
Lost without your love
Sometimes I feel that I'm going under
There's no one above you
Sometimes I feel that I just don't know the words I need to say
Don't you ever go away (I'm so lost without you baby)
Baby don't leave me
You're all that I want (You're all that I want)
You're all that I need
And I just can't live without you
Baby don't leave me
Don't leave me
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
And I just can't live without you
Baby don't leave me
Don't leave me
(Skatting)
You're all that I want
(Skatting)
Don't you ever ago away
(Don't go)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
You're all I want
You're all that I need
Baby, you're all I need
Listen, shh
You're all that I want (You're all that I need)
You're all that I need (You're all that I want)
You're all that I want (Baby don't leave me)
Baby don't leave me
(You're all I want)
You're all that I want
(You're all I need)
You're all that I need
(You're all I want)
You're all that I want
(Baby don't leave me)
Baby don't leave me
