That FULL FORCE has been able to maintain and sustain in an ever-changing musical climate may have much to do with their roots as a family team. Early on, the George brothers (Bowlegged Lou, Paul Anthony and B-Fine) received vocal coaching from their father (Lucien George Sr.) and uncle Cito. Hooking up with cousins Curt-t-t (guitar), Baby Gerry (keyboards) and Shy Shy (bass), the brothers (with B-Fine on drums) formed FULL FORCE. The band quickly became Brooklyn's No. 1 group and after paying dues performing on street corners and in local clubs, the group won the much-coveted first prize at the famed Apollo Theater's renowned 'Amateur Night,' four times in a row.
Shows with the likes of Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and The Whispers were a prelude to FULL FORCE's explosion onto the recording scene which initially came when they produced and co-wrote "Roxanne, Roxanne" for U.T.F.O. in 1985. It was Bowlegged Lou’s college buddy (and FULL FORCE’s ex-co-manager) Steve Salem, who gave FULL FORCE the idea to start producing. Never wanting to produce for anyone but FULL FORCE, Steve took Lou aside and explained that producing would be a way to grab the attention of the recording industry, who were, at that time overlooking FULL FORCE. If FULL FORCE were successful in producing other artists, the recording industry’s attention would be on FULL FORCE, the artists. And needless to say, he was right. After successfully producing hit records for U.T.F.O. and Lisa Lisa, they were offered a deal of their own. In short order, the group secured its own recording deal with Columbia Records and quickly became chartmakers in their own right, nationally and internationally, providing audiences with a dynamic 'live' show that displays their entertaining personalities, comedic antics, buff bodies and slammin' music.
One of the group's early chart breakthroughs came with "Alice, I Just Want You For Me," as Bowlegged Lou notes, "We were one of the first groups to incorporate hip-hop loops onto R&B-flavored tracks and we got a reputation for blending hip-hop and R&B early on." It wasn't long before the group was adding its special touch to a slew of hit records and by the end of the '80s, FULL FORCE had contributed to seven gold albums, four platinum albums and eight gold and platinum singles, with a cumulative total of over 16 million sales.
