Soul for Real - “Candy Rain"/"Every Little Thing I Do" Live on the Jon Stewart Show (April 13, 1995)

Soul for Real (also known as Soul 4 Real and Soul IV Real) is a Trinidadian-American[1] R&B group from Wyandanch, New York, currently living in Atlanta, Georgia made up of brothers Christopher Sherman Dalyrimple a.k.a. Choc (born April 30, 1971), Andre "Dre" Lamont Dalyrimple a.k.a. KD now (born April 4, 1974), Brian "Bri" Augustus Dalyrimple (born December 14, 1975), and Jason "Jase, Jase4Real" Oliver Dalyrimple a.k.a. Jase4Real (born May 10, 1980).
The group were best known in the mid-1990s for their gold-certified hit songs "Candy Rain" and "Every Little Thing I Do" and minor R&B hit "If You Want It" from their platinum-selling debut album Candy Rain.
Formed in 1992, Soul for Real signed with Uptown Records and released their debut album Candy Rain on March 28, 1995.[2][3] Produced by Heavy D, Candy Rain's first single was the album's title track. The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart. Their second single, "Every Little Thing I Do", reached No. 11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 17 on the Hot 100 chart.[4] A third single, "If You Want It" reached No. 53 on the R&B charts.
After touring and the success of their debut album, the group quickly began working on their sophomore album. Soul for Real's second album, For Life, was produced by Sean Combs and released on September 24, 1996. The album peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 119 on the Billboard 200. It was led by the single "Never Felt This Way" which did not gain much airplay. However, the album's second single "Love You So" did much better, peaking at No. 64 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 1997.[4][5]
Staying under Heavy D's tutelage, the group moved to independent label Chrome Dome Records for their third album, Heat. After a distribution deal with Tommy Boy Music fell through, Warlock Records took over distribution and released the album on May 18, 1999. The album failed to chart[6] and produced one single, "Can't Wait".[7]
In 2003, the group formed the label Aljoba Music Group (AMG).
In 2007, Soul For Real began to work on their fourth studio album tentatively entitled The Unknown. The first single "One Man" (featuring Jadakiss) was released later that year.[8]
In 2009, Brian Dalyrimple was indicted on 145 counts of aggravated identity (mortgage) fraud, none of his brothers were involved.[9] Following Brian's arrest, the other three brothers, KD (Andre), Jason "Jase" Oliver and Choc (Chris) remained as members of the group and continued on as Soul For Real.
"Every Little Thing I Do" is the second single from R&B group Soul for Real's first album, Candy Rain. Eldest brother Chris (aka Choc) sings lead. While it was not as big a hit as "Candy Rain", it reached number 11 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song samples "Outstanding" by the Gap Band. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 copies in the United States on October 25, 1995. In 2018, Jase, the lead singer of Soul for Real, featured his brother Choc on a remake of the song on his solo recording project called "If You Feel Like Me: The Mixtape".[1] The song is written and recorded in the key of G minor.

[@edwinrobinson-jg7be]

This group could have had a lot more success if they had followed heavy Ds directions and guidance who had knowledge of the music business but they wanted to do their own thing and messed up their careers that is what happens when you get in your own way

[@luisamateofrancisco7313]
