RIFF ALMA MATER SONG - LEAN ON ME
RIFF revisited their school and the scene of one of their most famous moments in their career. I shot a video with them in the bathroom at Eastside High where we first saw them in Lean on Me. This was the 25th Anniversary of the start of the group Riff.

For every 112, boys 2 men, there are a thousand groups just like this. That sound just as good but never got the break they deserved.
Former Eastside High School Student. Class of 1990! They graduated with my sister in 1989. I miss those days. Joe Clark was very strict and Eastside High was not as bad as the movie portrays it to be.

These men have lived well over the years. They still have the talent! Bravo!!!
I graduated from BF High School in 1989. Our principal, Dr. Norman K. Spencer was our very own Joe Clark. Padlocks and chains and a bullhorn. He barked each morning at us this chant over the intercom and in the i will never forget it. "Franklin High is moving up! We've got the strength cause we are tough! Moving fast, we won't last. We do our best to pass the tests. We're number 1, we're better than the rest. We look good, act good...and SMELL Good! Franklin High, Franklin High, Franklin HIGH!" They don't breed leaders like him and Joe Clark anymore. RIP, Dr. Spencer! We heard you and believed we could and we DID!
This gave this old boy chills. Took me back to when I first saw the movie. Loved this song from the moment I heard it. This is gold. Straight up gold.
I'm surprise these guys and their singing careers weren't bigger. They sound amazing..... I love their voices and the harmonies.... This goes to show that those who can sing can sing for a lifetime without the help of Auto -Tune.....

They probably didn't want to compromise themselves like many of their more successful peers.
Grew up in the 90s as a young teen and Riff, Shai, Jodeci and Boys 2 Men just to name a few were apart of my upbringing. I will forever be grateful as it was this harmonic music that gave me heart, compassion and understanding in life. Thank ya'll for your beautiful voices have blessed my life.
The Anointing of God is Definitely on this this Song!! I Love IT
When music was great, no auto tune or gimmicks. Still watching after 30yrs. Gives me chills.
My GOD one of the Most beautiful harmonize songs of any time love it!!!
This song has stayed in my head for years... Classic genius! So soulful...

Still sound AMAZING! Even more so today ♥️ What would have also been cool is if Mr. Clark (Morgan Freeman) would have made an appearance in this - demanding to hear the song.
This was one of my Favorite Scenes in the whole movie. The sound the power behind it is just as amazing now as it was then.
I love this song!

My mom used to work there as one of her first jobs. She worked with Mr. Clark and was always proud to be associated with the school. It was a tough school, but she was happy for the experience.
