"I own this groups debut effort on cassette and have been looking for the cd for years.Simple Pleasure was a group of ex-military guys from McGuire AFB,NJ..the frontman was Vann Holland,who I had the pleasure of working with in the Electric Shop at the 438th Airlift Wing in the late 80's early 90's.After seperating from the Air Force,these brothers wrote songs and appeared in Queen Latifahs "Fly Girl" video and later released the album "Simple Pleasure" and the hit single "where do we go from here". If you can get a hold of this cd grab it...hold on...and play the hell out of it! Its that good,too bad it was overlooked."

Simple Pleasure - Heaven!

"Most people would never have heard of these guys as they are a soul/r&b groups from the early 90's. This would have to be my favourite cd of ALL time. It is so different to most typical soul/r&b groups. They are more low key and cruisy with funk but so damn smooth. Why? Their vocals, harmonies and just the songs are just beautiful. Buy it and have a listen for yourself..."

Hidden R&B Treasure from the 90's

"One of the best produced and sung R&B albums.



If you liked the vocalised male harmony, smooth sounds of "Silk", "Intro", "N2U", "Shai", "Color Me Badd", and... even (dare I say it) "All 4 One" etc etc, then, you really should have this in your collection. Ahh the memories of underaged clubbing to "We Can Work it Out" and "I Can't Get You Off My Mind", back when clubs were fun.



From laid back groove to tight balads and even, a little New Jack. As mentioned by another reviewer, one of Queen Latifah's groups, and its a shame they weren't able to make more albums.



A lot of people unfortunately missed out on this when this came out, so now that its available on Amazon I cannot recommend it any more highly!"
