Let’s transport back and jam to group Groove Theory’s hypnotic “Tell Me” live at Showtime at the Apollo circa 1996.

The track—off their 1995 self-titled debut on Epic Records—was penned by Bryce Wilson and Amel Larrieux. It became their breakout single, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing their neo-soul/R&B lane with that silky, club-ready snap.

This Apollo performance is a time capsule: Amel’s effortless vocal glide, Bryce’s cool-as-ice stage presence, and the crowd locked in. (The single’s official video, directed by Millicent Shelton, carried the same hypnotic pull with its moody, late-night aesthetic.)

Groove Theory’s influence still lingers—artists from Solange to SZA have cited their blend of soul and hip-hop as blueprint energy.

  • Release date: July 18, 1995
  • Label/distributor: Epic Records
