THE TROOP'S MUSIC MILESTONES

Warren was one of the famous singers of the then-teenage group, Troop, formed in Pasadena, California, in 1987. Its members were Russell, Rodney Benford, and John Harrel.

They shot to fame after winning $1,000 on the TV show called "Puttin' on The Hits." The show featured amateur acts, including lip-synching to popular songs.

Their first debut album, "Troop," was released in 1988, and their second album, "Attitude," in 1989. The songs "Spread My Wings" and "All I Do Is Think of You" under their second album became certified platinum.

Before Warren, another talented actress and writer, Erica Watson, died due to COVID-19 early this month in her new home in Jamaica.
