Silk is a five-man R&B group best known for their 1993 #1 single "Freak Me" from their debut album Lose Control. They had another hit single from the Lose Control album "Girl U For Me" which helped the album reach double platinum status. They later had success with hits like "Meeting In My Bedroom" and "Tonight."
The group is made up of Tim Cameron, Jim Gates, Gary Glenn, Gary Jenkins and John Rasboro and they were found by popular music artist Keith Sweat.
They continued the popularity of the various New Jack Swing groups that emerged in the late 80's and 90's.
Jenkins (known to fans as Lil G) made his stage debut in 2002 as AJ in the Tyler Perry play "Madea's Family Reunion". In 2002, Elektra Records trimmed its artist roster and dropped Silk and Sweat from the label.

3) The '90s R&B trio Silk was one of the many groups to arrive from that genre in the wake of classic Motown and during the heyday of their native Philadelphia scene. The group was never as famous as most of their contemporaries, but they still managed to release two albums before they disbanded in the late '90s, 1997's Smooth as Silk and 1997's Silk.
Not to be confused with 90's R'n'B Silk.

The lyrics of Silk’s “Hooked on You” describe being unable to live without the love interest who has got the singer hooked. The singer says that everything the love interest does is compelling and that they can’t see themselves living without them. However, they confess their insecurities about the relationship, wondering if the other person truly cares for them, while admitting they want the relationship to work. Despite their fears, the singer emphasizes that they want the other person to stay with them.
The lyrics further highlight their frustrations with the other person's lack of communication, as evident in the lines, “There goes your pager, an hour later, it's time to go, but you don't tell me so no.” It shows that the other person is not devoting time to the relationship or to the singer. Nevertheless, the singer trusts that the other person is coming back, even though they had changed recently. The lyrics depict someone deeply in love but struggling with doubts and jealousy.

Born in the 70's and 80's we blessed to have gotten to enjoy this music. Nothing like the 90's

@buzzbabe1901
This song just popped in my head from no where while asleep last night and I knew I had to listen to it today. I just love this song!
@puddledduck3662
Snap well I was awake but remembered it suddenly ❤
@komzs232
Wow the exact same thing happened to me. Was dreaming that I was a party and it was being played and we all got dancing! So I had to listen to it when I got up!
@kaylorrraine4400
Me too.😂😂😂I be damned. I was sleeping and awoke, this song came in my head!
@fernandoestevez1656
I feel very identified with this song. This song was played on my first date (November 1995) with the girl who is my wife now. Great memories.
I'm an orphan of music , I miss the music of the 90 's. The music now makes no sense or feeling.
@stupidflounders
Fernando Estevez I totally get what you're saying. I agree with you completely!
