Troop began as a teen group that won $1000 on Puttin' on the Hits, a nationally televised contest, by dancing and lip-synching to <a href="spotify:artist:1mFX1QlezK1lNPKQJkhwWb">New Edition</a>'s "Cool It Now." The Pasadena, California quintet -- Rodney Benford, <a href="spotify:artist:7A6LZrFAMMZhc8J5qu11ut">John Harreld</a>, Allen McNeil, <a href="spotify:artist:2V4GrNhJk8plT3zdAlXoMJ">Steve Russell</a>, and Reggie Warren -- were then signed to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Atlantic%22">Atlantic</a>, and their 1988 debut single, the <a href="spotify:artist:0G7OYsWptjRzVFT1AxP8TS">LeVert</a>-produced "Mamacita," taken from their self-titled album, reached number two on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart. Their second album, 1989's Attitude, featured two number one Hot Soul singles -- including the <a href="spotify:artist:3O7IxMv6D9iFICSUa5w9X4">Chuckii Booker</a> collaboration "Spread My Wings" -- and earned an RIAA gold certification. Deepa, released in 1992, was a creative step forward and contained yet another Hot Soul chart topper in "Sweet November," a <a href="spotify:artist:7ohSq6OUvkH1hkslgXfGMi">Deele</a> cover, but the group subsequently went independent with two more full-lengths released later in the decade. Troop went inactive for several years but occasionally recorded and toured. In 2013, they released a single titled "Forever." Within the music industry, <a href="spotify:artist:2V4GrNhJk8plT3zdAlXoMJ">Russell</a> had the most success outside the group as part of the songwriting and production team the Underdogs. ~ Ron Wynn & Andy Kellman, Rovi
