Riff is a R&B vocal group from Paterson, New Jersey, formed while its members were teenagers attending Paterson's Eastside High School. The ensemble began under the name Playboys in the late 1980s, with a style strongly influenced by doo wop. After singing in the 1989 film ''Lean on Me'' (which is based upon events occurring at Eastside High), the group changed its name to Riff and signed to SBK Records, releasing a self-titled album in 1991. The group scored several respectable hits, including three in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Their song "Family" appears on the ''''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' soundtrack. Following the success of the album, the group appeared on ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', ''The Tonight Show'' and ''Soul Train'', and opened on tour for LL Cool J and Vanilla Ice.〔(Biography ), Allmusic.com〕 The group's second album, ''To Whom It May Concern'', came out in 1993 to mixed reviews. It had two charting singles on the R&B charts. Anthony "Chill" Fuller, Dwayne "Stylz" Jones and Michael "Nitty Green" Best went on to join the group Men of Vizion. In 2009, Riff reunited and started work on returning to the R&B industry with a new album. ==Members== ;Current *Anthony Fuller *Dwayne Jones *Steven Capers *Michael Best *Delvis Damon *André Jackson 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Riff (American band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
