Rude Boys - Rude Awakening

Band members Larry Marcus, Melvin Sephus, and brothers Edward Lee Banks and Joe Little III were discovered by Gerald Levert , who got them signed to Atlantic Records. The band's 1990 debut LP, Rude Awakening, included the single "Written All Over Your Face", which made it to #1 R&B and #16 on the pop chart, as well as "Heaven", which was a top ten R&B hit. The group would score a second number one R&B hit from this album in 1991 with "Are You Lonely for Me," written by Joe Little and Tony Nicholas. The Rude Boys also toured that year with Levert. The album itself was just one spot below the Billboard R&B top 10 spot, where it sat comfortably at #11 in the spring of 1990.
