Flashback to H-TOWN

Without a doubt, one of the sexiest slow jams in history is a song called [i]Knockin' Da Boots[/i], by three guys from Houston. Shazam, Dino, and G.I. made up the group H-Town, who over the years were responsible for creating some of the hottest slow jams ever made! H-Town started doing big things when the group members were just teens, as they teamed up with Luther Campbell, who managed and produced them. You may remember "Luke" from 2 Live Crew, so it didn't come as a big surprise that H-Town's first album [i]Fever For Da Flavor[/i] included song titles such as [i]Lick U Up[/i], [i]Sex Me[/i] and of course, [i]Knockin' Da Boots[/i]. [b]What was shocking, however, was the success of the songs, which led the album to sell over a million copies and ranked H-Town among the top of the heap of R&B crooners.[/b] To their credit, for all the attention given to carnal matters, the threesome also concentrated, on motion picture soundtracks spawning MORE PLATINUM SUCCESS.........

The car driven by Weisent was struck by a SUV that had allegedly ran a red light. Reports said Weisent was killed instantly and Dino died en route to the hospital. The trio had just finished an H-Town reunion album. Although Dino is no longer with us, his life and music still lives on...
