Where have all the great R&B groups gone? UGH! I giving you another track that I recorded off the radio back in the day. Dru Hill is an American singing group, most popular during the late 1990s, whose repertoire included R&B, soul, and gospel music. The members of Dru Hill were natives of Baltimore, Maryland .The quartet made a name for itself by getting jobs at a local fudge factory, "The Fudgery," at the Inner Harbor, where they sang and performed to entertain guests while making fudge. In 1995 Hiram Hicks president of Island Black Music saw the boys perform in a talent show and immediately wanted to fly them to New York to record a song called Tell Me for a movie Eddie starring Whoopi Goldberg. Blackstreet member Dave Hollister who was now pursuing a solo career originally sang on the song but after the fellas sang it for Hiram his vocals were scrapped as they recorded the song & were signed that night. After the group signed to Island Records the label suggested they change their name from Legacy to Dru Hill after Druid Hill Park, a popular park on the West side of Baltimore, the name of which is pronounced "Dru Hill" in the local accent. A dragon is used as a logo for the group."In My Bed" is a number-one platinum-selling and the remix features Jermaine Dupri, who also produced the track, and Da Brat. It was a hit single. The remix sampled Le Pamplemousse's "Gimme What You Got" (1976).
