Extras

Timex Social Club, a U.S. group formed in 1982 by students of Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California. The group was originally known as The Timex Crew with members Marcus Thompson (founder), Gregory "Greg B" Thomas, Michael Marshall, Craig Samuel and Darrien Cleage.

By 1985, Samuel, Cleage and Thomas were out and both Alex Hill and Kevin Moore were added to complete the group and the name Timex Social Club was born. They specialized in both old school rap and the merger of urban R&B with hip-hop rhythms, which were later known as new jack swing.

The group's first release was the mega hit 12inch single entitled Rumors/Vicious Rumors (JAY 001). The success of the single Rumors, prompted rap impresario Russell Simmons to hire the group as the opening act on Run DMC's Raising Hell Tour the summer of 1986. Other acts on the tour were: The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J and Whodini. Besides solo dates, the group also opened for such groups as: New Edition, Midnight Star, The S.O.S. Band, Kool & The Gang and Jermaine Jackson.

Later that year, the group released the Vicious Rumors album. Vicious Rumors (Danya 9645) had one major hit on it, "Rumors", which hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, August 30, 1986 with Michael Marshall as the lead singer. The single also reached #13 in the UK charts and hit #1 on both the R&B and the U.S. dance chart. The two following singles "Thinkin' About Ya" and "Mixed-Up World" both reached the R&B top 20.
