TS Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi,I have been after the name of an R 'n' B group who sang the Drifters classic "UP ON A ROOF" for ages now. This song was released in the early 90's, can anyone help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Ah I seem to remember that too...I know they used it for the guys to sing on Pop Idol or Idols or Popstars or whatever...might be "The Cover Girls Female R&B/Pop trio featuring Louise ?Angel? Sabater, Margo Urban and Caroline Jackson, replaced by Sunshine Wright, Evelyn Escalera and Michelle Valentine. For more recordings see Pop singer Angel Sabater. 1989 ? Up On The Roof" Nice song too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Thanks for the info Dug. Unfortunately the group that sang the cover were three black males from America. Their music video for the song was often played on B.E.T and MTV during the station's soul sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Why don´t you check the record company (it should be written in the site Earth-Angel showed you) and ask where you can get this reord? Or the dvd distributor, or the movie distributor... or go to some important (or small) record store and search... Sometimes you gotta be a detective to get some stuff... Good luck!
