The Ladies of Skyy - Real Love & Call Me

Sisters Denise Dunning, Delores Dunning, and Bonne Dunning still going strong. #Skyy
After signing to Atlantic Records, Skyy launched a major comeback in 1989 with the release of their successful Start Of A Romance album. This release spun off two #1 R&B singles, with both the title track ("Start of a Romance") and the quiet storm classic, "Real Love" claiming the top spot. "Real Love" also became the group's second and final crossover pop hit peaking at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1990. The second single released from the album (between the title track and "Real Love"), "Love All the Way" also cracked the R&B top 50. By the release of the Nearer to You album in 1992, the hits had again dried up, and the band has not released a new studio album since then.

It's a crying shame that this group and many others from that era never got the recognition that all these so called bullshit ^artist" are getting today. This lady has one of the most distinctive voices of her era.

A different time...no KZbin, Facebook..I think this crowd reaction begs to differ though, Skyy was and will always be the shit!!

[@lawrencemills599]

Absolutely facts I agree

[@igotyourback9175]

Saw their story on Unsung. Glad that they didn't let that demonic industry stop them from performing! They are all of that and a bag to boot! Still got it!

My father took us to Germany while he was in the Army. We had two school buses. A rock bus and a soul bus. Every now and then one would be late or break down. This meant that we had to share a bus. We would almost fight to see who gave the driver their tape first. On one particular day in 1982 (l was a tenth grader) we won the battle. That was the first time that l heard 'Call me.' Man... that beat and those soulful voices were something to hear. Every time l hear that song l remember exactly where l was when l first heard it. Thanks for those fond memories ladies.

[@krossbarz99]

Such a classic and iconic group!

[@jokoolone]

IMO the sexiest voice in R&B history. I had the pleasure of seeing Skyy and Kool and the Gang in Queens Village, NY at the Community Theatre in the late 80s or early 90s. Fantastic!!!

They Still Sound Good!😘😘

[@cyorkgo]

Man .. this brought back so many great memories. Feels like just last month I purchased this album from Tower Records. Great times, great memories and one funky as group ... hers my number and a dime .... Playing my Skyzoo ...

[@igotyourback9175]

These sisters should be dubbed 'The First Ladies of R n B" because they have multiple hits, classics and they are still together and singing after 40 years in the business. On top of that, a lot of their songs and voices have been sampled in super hip hop and R n B hits! They can literally be like the Clarke Sisters of R n B! I hope a manager or somebody is watching and take this cue! Get that biopic going because I am sure they got stories!

Deniece is a bit heavier than back in the day. But she and her sisters still got it.

[@emckinney8816]

You're right, I had to figure that out when I was just looking at the "Start of a Romance" video But like you said she still got that voice

[@laquitahood1758]

Yes she is but that’s like most of us we tend to pick up weight as we age And I’m thinking she’s almost 60 but her voice is still KILLER
