The group began in the late '80s after they won a televised talent contest that later drew interest from record labels. Troop, consisting of childhood friends Steve Russell, Allen McNeil, John Harreld, Rodney Benford, and Reggie Warren, signed to Atlantic Records and released their debut single Mamacita from their self titled album in 1988. "Mamacita" reached #2 on the Billboard's R&B Charts.
After the release of their debut album, Troop released Attitude, which included songs such as Spread My Wings and All I Do is Think of You (a Jackson 5 cover), which were both #1 on the Billboard R&B charts and remained in the top 10 on the charts for several weeks. Attitude was certified platinum in 1990, afterward, Troop released their third album Deepa in 1992 from which the single Sweet November made #1 on the Billboard's R&B charts. The group followed up with two more albums A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin' (1994) and Mayday (1998), both of which were re-released in 2005.
After releasing "Mayday" in 1998, Troop took a hiatus as individual members worked behind the scenes on various writing and producing projects, collaborations, and other business endeavors.
In 2004, Troop returned and began touring the United States and finishing up their sixth album. Since returning, Troop has headlined a number of shows and also shared the stage with artists they toured with in the past such as Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Keith Sweat, Silk, Mario, and Jon B..
Troop has also been showcased on The Late Show with David Letterman, Soul Train, The Arsenio Hall Show, Showtime at the Apollo, and appeared in the feature film New Jack City singing a cappella. Additionally, the group appeared on the New Jack City soundtrack with Queen Latifah and Levert, in a medley featuring cover versions of The O'Jays' For the Love of Money and Stevie Wonder's Living For The City.
In October 2006, Troop contacted the Internet Radio Station (The Mixx) and have worked together to make The Mixx the radio home of Troop. Steve Russell dubs the singing voices of several minor characters (among them doo-wop singer Little Albert and the five brothers who make up the Jackson 5 pastiche "The Campbell Connection") in the 2006 film version of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls.
Still In Love
Troop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear the rain outside my window pane
What I want to do is sneak out and go to Lover's Lane,
Me and You,
But I can't take this feeling,
Unless if it's in control,
It's natural
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Jack and Jill were still in love forever
We're still in love,
Side by side and heart to heart
Time reveals that we're still in love forever
We're still in love
We share the secret things that make each moment so divine
But we must be careful and let no one catch us this time
Oooh baby, love you
I kept my promise to love you and no one else
I can't help myself
Chorus (2x):
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Jack and Jill were still in love forever
We're still in love, still in love
Side by side and heart to heart
Time reveals that we're still in love forever
We're still in love, we're still in love
Baby, you know we're like no other
We're like a romance in history
We have something real special
Something we'll always keep
I'm glad you were the one I met
I love you Juliet
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Girl, we're still in love forever
We're still in love baby, together forever
Side by side and heart to heart
Girl, we're still in love forever
We're in still in love
I love you baby
Romeo and Juliet...
