These brothers are from Detroit, my hometown. The sleeve of this album, if I recall correctly said they went to Cooley High together. Sadly Cooley closed in 2010. I was 19 years old when I bought this debut album on cassette in 1989. They had another major hit titled 'Quiet Guy', so after hearing 'Best Of Me' I had to have it. The whole album was tight. Two years later they dropped their 2nd album titled 'Civilized Rogues' and it was just just as good as the first album, but radio and the world slept on it. #DetroitStandUp

[@marvin469]

Thanks bruh because there's no info on them. I forgot about them but they best song was with Shanice imo 👍

[@jugg48]

Man, I thought I was the only one on the planet who loved this Album. They came out when I was in junior high. I haven't heard any of these songs in well over twenty years but as soon as it started playing, I knew every word! Memory Lane like a mug!

[@Kimi_BrownEyez]

Lol, same here. I was watching tv and a show called best of me was being advertised and outbof nowhere I just started singing this song. I love it!!

[@CJacksonMemories]

No you're not the only one friend and it's been over 20 years for me too😀. Good music and where did it go. My husband wanted to hear this while we chilling tonight February 2020🖤

[@ieshawhit5212]

Love this song, always have. It’s too bad it’s not on Apple Music, can’t add to my playlist 😩

[@candypeach0103]

Summer of 1990, I met this guy and this was his favorite song. It always brings me back to those days. I had just graduated from high school and he was on leave before being deployed to Germany in the Army. This song, on cassette tape, kept me company until he returned and broke my heart. A lifetime ago, and I haven't seen him since, but I still remember.

[@noorsarwar5074]

Sounds very sad, hope life treats you better these days

[@stefaniaoprandi1193]

Hope you are better now and life treats you right.

Groover Washington put this band together, Thats him on the sax.

[@diongreenlee4158]

Nope...you're wrong. Kiara formed in Detroit as a full band. Kiara released their first independent single titled "Quiet Guy" in the city of Detroit in 1986. The single was very successful in the greater Detroit area leading to a recording contract with the independent label Warlock Records. The group members consist of the following childhood friends: Gregory Charley (lead singer), John Winston (Guitar, Sax & Vocals), Aaron Carr (Co-lead vocals & Bass Guitar), David Johnson (Keyboards & Vocals) & Kevin McCullen (Drums & Vocals). Kevin and I grow up together on the same block, Freeland in Detroit. They only became a duet when they got signed to Arista Records.
