[@sarahjayne9297]

I’m 29 and was burning this man’s songs on CDs when I was younger in like 2002. It’s 2024 and I’m still here. Truly timeless. Rest his soul.

[@darryljohnson8378]

I'm still listening to it to this day, bring back memories

[@donsteel4083]

I wrote Unsung and requested for them to do a special on him, he has one of the best voices I heard and he was only 19 he deserves some credit, I hope they do a movie on him

[@marykirksey6043]

Awe yes 😀 I loved his VOICE......so ahead of his time TRAGIC

[@isaz597]

I just watched unsung episodes on hi five & h town. I was also thinking of them doing an episode on Chris bender so I came to listen. How can I get in touch with them as well? I'd also like a special on Intro because of kenny greene.

[@donsteel4083]

+Is Az if u go to TVone website its always a error, u can also go on its fb page and leave a message or comment, I would also love for them to do one on Intro, but lately TVone be having shows on artist whos not even unsung.

[@isaz597]

I agree they a few inspiring stories. I want to see artists who faced tragedy or have passed with accounts from group members & loved ones. Thanks I'll be leaving a comment soon. Not on facebook but I'll do an account just to push for these episodes. Who do you think shouldn't have been "unsung" ?

[@donsteel4083]

+Is Az Geto Boys, Bone Thugs N Harmony, DJ Quik and Mint Condition and a few others, I loved the one on Geto Boys. Unsung been having shows for artist who's somewhat still relevant and making albums, its a whole lot of artist who are really unsung, Chris Bender, Ephraim Lewis and Kenny Greene, I would love to even watch one on Chico Debarge and 2 Live Crew.

[@benjaminknight9144]

I can't even imagine the music this young man would have put out! 2023 and this album STILL beats a lot of what people call music. 😢❤

This Kid at the time .. what 92 “Maybe 91’ I’m probably a year older than him .. and grew up in Boston 15 minutes from him where he’s from Brockton .. let me tell you I have a Sister and Cousin who was cool with him , this Kid at the time , his writing , his voice was way beyond its time , the lyrics the passion in its sound it self was arange perfectly … I can see USHER bringing this back because it was made before it’s time .. Thank you C Bender for your Talent and Vision 🙏🏾❤️👊🏾 R.I.P.

[@kaaygoldmine]

his voice is so beautiful! Damn!!! it sucks that he died so young, he could've been one of the greats.

[@leahjackson5520]

He needs a movie he’s so interesting what a tragic lost man he’s legendary in my eyes

[@cowboysnation214]

A young Tommy Davidson could've played the part.

[@adamlamb9802]

Chris was NICE!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 He still gets plenty of play in Cleveland 💯

[@TianaTheGemini]

My dad still has this cassette tape! Definitely gone to soon! His voice was soulful and Unsung should do a segment on him

[@markharris788]

al sing it to you sexy

[@andrejordan962]

Much luv Tiana I am a fan too!

[@LeeDfined]

He may be from Boston...but Ohio radio bumped him like crazy. When I talk to others they act like they forgot about him. But if you from Ohio...we all show him mad love.

He was???????

[@-love-life3267]

No..... It seems like you had to have lived in Ohio to have even heard of him. Jodeci and Boys to men were nationally known. I live in Chicago, right by Ohio and have never heard of him till today.

[@-love-life3267]

Still No.. Jodeci, and B2M cane out the gate swinging. Both of their first albums went platinum. Not taking anything away from Chris’s talent or Ohio fans, but that was a bad comparison.

YES, such a talented young man. I hear Bobbie Brown, Tevin Campbell, Ralph Tresvant and even Michael Jackson influences in his Beautiful Voice....

[@michellelanning5006]

Me too! Pouring like Rain had just came out on the radio this particular day, I was driving and it was raining, and they announced after the song played on ZAK that he was murdered. I had to pull over I was so distraught and in shock!!! I've have had so many copies of this album over the years because people would steal them!!!! Rest peacefully Chris!!!
