All-4-One Interview

Delious Kennedy of All-4-One is who Dave O calls “the Chuck Norris of music.” That’s because it seems like he’s done EVERYTHING, from helping All-4-One achieve a Grammy and sell 22 million records, to professional photography, to dabbling in the film industry, to writing and doing songs for both his own and others. Dave O recently SKYPED with Delious to discuss these topics, as well as the ones that all 90’s diehards want to know – how did the group All-4-One form, how did “I Swear” come about and what was it like performing with Whitney Houston?

C&C Music Factory Interview

However, what most people don’t realize is that Robert Clivilles and the late David Cole (hence the C&C) were also HUGE producers/songwriters in the music industry, working with artists like Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and many more.

Divine Interview

Perhaps the most obscure and “lost” 90’s group to have a #1 hit was Divine, which hit the top of the charts in 1998 with “Lately.” Dave O recently SKYPED with both Kia and Nikki from the group, who explained in detail why the trail went so cold on Divine so quickly.

Culture Beat
