I love this band, all cuts unashamedly from the ballads to the uptempo dance classics. I think the lead singer Sharon Bryant has tremendous vocals. My favourites are "Circles", "Silver Shadow", "Love me down" etc etc. Is anyone else feeling this band?

I always had a soft-spot for 'Touch a 4 Leaf Clover' from '83. Very classy. 8)

Overall, I liked this band. When Love Call and Send For Me are among my favorites.
Towards the middle of the 80s I grew tired of whiney 80s ballad sound they were also doing. I did like Secret Lovers though. Sorry to digress here but Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer did a funny bit with Secret Lovers on Steve Harvey. Seeing those 2 guys singing that song to each other had me dying :lol:
Find them and destroy them!

for me its a bit to much commercial pop
and a bit too little groove
It is a bit to "Boltonish"
like Nothings gonna change my love is a bit corny :x
But some cuts are ok I guess....

another band, called Starpoint. But one of those bands did a slammin' song called "Freak-a-Ristic"

Atlantic Starr had an awesome album called "Straight To The Point" from 1979 with a killer 1st side - Let's Rock/Kissin' Power/Let The Spirit Move Ya" great disco funk long abandoned in favor of commercialism and $$$$$$

To me CIRCLES is my FAVORITE song by Atlantic Starr !!! I still love that song!

Yeah great tarck, i feel the house'd up version didnt add any more to the original. Or perhaps that was the point. Circles is a sure fire winner.

The beautiful 'When Love Calls' is the one song that always comes to mind whenever Atlantic Starr are mentioned. Shame Sharon Bryant never made it as a solo artist, supposedly she rejected material submitted by Jam & Lewis which was later included on Janet's 'Control' album.
Really want to hear some Atlantic Starr right now but am going to have to wait until Easter weekend...

'Silver Shadow' was great. Did anyone really miss Sharon Bryant once Barbara Weathers joined the group?

I recently had a thread about Atlantic Starr......I bought a CD compilation," Best of Atlantic Starr", for $1.99 :D :D :D lucky me!
I have to say Detroit slipped on this on back in the day. They didn't get much radio play here...Why I'm not sure.
I feeling, "Circles" .......driving around the City :D
I must say, My favorites are the slow jams.
"Closer"
"Am I dreaming"
Just out of curiosity discofresh....do you know where Atlantic Starr is from.....?

I played A.S's "Ultimate Collection" recently and agree that they had some good stuff...
Personal fave: the 12 " mix of Silver Shadow
I'd also like to mention One Lover At A Time & an LP ballad ...All In The Name Of Love that I once used on one of my mushy ballad tapes!!! :oops:

i agree, they have a serious portfolio of classic

I remember "Let's Rock"! Great disco song way before we really knew who they were. I really didn't care for much else they did except some of the love ballads like 1983s 4-leaf Clover. A great song to "bop" to.

I always liked "Armed and Dangerous" from one of those Eighties' soundtracks. Unfortunately, I have never seen it on CD.
Underground Hit [Level 5]
Funnily enough I've just started listening to them again having got a couple of CD's. Fave tracks are Love me down & One lover at a time also let the sun in and of course circles. Does anyone remember the great 12" of let the sun in which was about 10mins long,and also how different the 12" of One lover at a time was.
