KoKo PoP - Secrets Of Lonely Boys 1985 [FULL ALBUM]
[Funk/Soul/Electronic/Electro Funk/Electro/RnB] Here is KoKo-PoP with their second and final album titled: \"Secrets Of Lonely Boys\". A shame this album didn't fly well as it is just as good as their first album if not better but i can see why it probably went under the radar at the time. This album was produced under Motown Records and in 1985 this label kept spewing out Electro Funk content as it was in high demand, it's no surprise that some of their work would end up going unnoticed and Koko Pop was that statistic. KoKo-PoP was an R&B band from Columbus, Ohio that consisted of vocalist Matt Seward, guitarist Kevin Alexander, saxophonist Chris Powell, keyboardist Eric O'Neal and bassist Recco Philmore. O'Neal, Philmore and Alexander were featured on Teena Marie's 1983 album \"Robbery.\" Powell has appeared on albums by various artists such as Willie Hutch, Clifford Brown, Nytro, Masterpiece, Rose Royce, Stargard, Teen Dream and the Temptations. Prior to this album, in 1984 they released their self-titled debut album on the same label, Motown Records. It's unknown how or if that album made the charts. Then in 1985, KoKo-PoP released this album and like their first album, this album didn't make the charts either. The only single to chart was \"Brand New Beat\" (Track 2) which peaked at #84 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 4 weeks. After that, it seemed as if KoKo-PoP faded into obscurity. These days, Recco Philmore is a member of the band Network 7. As for the other members, it is unknown what they are up to today. This album was released under Motown Records '85.
