It's time for another installment of Old School Friday... This week's theme is Kid Groups.
Ranging from the ages of 13, 15, 15 & 16, MISTA is considered a kid group IMO. The group was comprised of Darryl Allen, Bobby Wilson, Brandon Brown, and Byron Reeder, and was pretty much a one-hit wonder group with the breakout hit, "Blackberry Molases."
I loved their voices & wondered why they broke up. But, one of the members is now a favorite solo artist of mine & that's Bobby Valentino (a.k.a. Bobby Wilson).
Debbie Pryce & Susie Banfield were members of a female rap duo from the UK. They gained fame because they were easily marketable as a commercial gimmick, but they also had some skills (for that day & age).
Their group was called The Cookie Crew, and most people will probably remember them for their 80s hit single, "Born This Way."
I actually knew all the words... shhhhh.

Girl these are truly some great, original picks. I had forgotten about Mista. BBM was the joint back in the day. I'm sorry they went the route of one-hit wonder, as did BV. Slow Down was the joint that summer though!
I don't remember this other group! So you done showed a sista something today!
Happy OSF!
Wow...wow...wow! I totally forgot about Mista...and Blackberry Molasses is just the bomb!
Great, great picks Shae!
Happy OSF! Have a great weekend!
Thanks. I swear I listen to my old CDs more than the new ones so sometimes these songs are on regular rotation. :-)
I don't know either of these groups. The guys really harmonized well. I enjoyed listening and learning. Happy OSF!
Oh My Goodness! These are great choices. I loved the cookie crew and "Blackberry Molasses" was the jam.
You're the only I know that still remembers the Cookie Crew besides myself. LOL
Great choices.
Thanks for taking me back.
Have a blessed weekend.

nice selection hun
I haven’t heard of either groups, but I enjoyed Blackberry Molasses, great lyrics.
I remember the Mista. It feels just like yesterday, except I'm 30 now.
Cookie Crew, I don't remember, so maybe I'm not too old, yet.
WOW!! I don't know how I forgot about that one because I used to have Blackberry Molasses on repeat! To bad they didn't go farther as a group, I loved the sound. Bobby Valentino is/was pretty successful as a solo artist though.
I never heard of Cookie Crew.
I love the Mista. Never heard the first one but it is lovely. Great Choices.
