All 4 One
This doo-wop styled modern vocal quartet comprises school friends Jamie Jones (b. 26 November 1974, Palmdale, California, USA) and Alfred Nevarez (b. 17 May 1973, Mojave, California, USA), alongside Tony Borowiak (b. 12 October 1972, California City, California, USA) and Delious Kennedy (b. 21 December 1970). None of the singers received any formal vocal training, but gained valuable experience singing in their local church choirs. All-4-One was formed in the recording studio, where the members were gainfully employed singing jingles for local radio stations. They were signed to the Los Angeles-based label Blitzz (with distribution through Atlantic Records) on the strength of an impromptu arrangement of what would prove to be their debut single, a cover version of the Tymes' 1963 US chart-topper "So Much In Love". Re-released in January 1994, the single reached the Billboard Top 5. The real breakthrough came with the group's second single, a cover version of John Michael Montgomery's country hit "I Swear'. The song topped the US Hot 100 singles chart for an astonishing 11 weeks, and was 1994"s biggest-selling US single. "I Swear" was also a huge international hit, reaching UK number 2, and won the 1995 Grammy for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, as well as being nominated for Song Of The Year.
