AccuRadio Song Of the Day-Ol Skool


Artist:Ol Skool f/Xscape and Keith Sweat

Song:Am I Dreamin'

Album:Ol Skool


The R&B vocal group Ol Skool scored a top five R&B hit with the 1998 single Am I Dreamin'. They only recorded two albums so they weren't around very long. Ol Skool were proteges of the popular R&B singer Keith Sweat. Ol Skool were formed in St. Louis. Members were Jason Little, Jerome "Pookie" Lane, Tony Herron, Curtis Jefferson and Bobby Crawford. After the 1997 single Set You Free charted, Keith Sweat got them a deal with Universal's Uptown label. Sweat was executive producer of the 1998 album Ol Skool. Am I Dreamin' reached #5 on the R&B Singles chart and #31 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single features Sweat and the female vocal group Xscape. Though the members of Ol Skool wrote songs and played instruments, Sweat seemed interested in emphasizing their vocals. Am I Dreamin' was written by veteran songwriter Sam Dees and originally recorded by Atlantic Starr. After Ol Skool's 2000 album R.S.V.P. was unsuccessful, they split up. Lane attempted a solo career but it doesn't look like the others stayed in the music business. Here's the video for Am I Dreamin' by Ol Skool featuring Xscape and Keith Sweat.
