He was so cute in the 90s, but subsequent years didn't treat him so well.

Damn, that's sad. Years ago the scuttlebutt around Atlanta was that he was a drunk. A nice one, but a drunk

Girlfriend was one of the best albums of the 90s. Here's hoping for some divine intervention.

R2 I think he had a bit of a fame meltdown after Girlfriend and then freaked out a bit.

He's been big as a houses for decades.

He hasn't been popular in over 25 years - and he was never that popular to begin with.

Seems like he's been chasing the promise that the record label hype put around him in his early career.

Wow, the GFM is already well past its initial goal.

A favorite track/video of his.

R7 love that track.

The threesome of Girlfriend, Altered Beast and 100% Fun are all masterpieces.

My favorite song will forever be this one. I was so madly in love with a guy that didn't know I existed when I heard this, and it was my lifeline through that time.
