 moreAlthough Bryant was never Atlantic Starr's only lead singer -- Wayne and
David Lewis also provided their share of lead vocals -- she was a major asset.
So it came as quite a disappointment when she left Atlantic Starr in 1984 to
pursue a solo career. But all was not lost. The talented Barbara Weathers was
hired as a replacement and 1985's As the Band Turns -- Atlantic Starr's first
post-Bryant album and sixth album overall -- found the outfit unveiling a
smaller lineup that consisted of Weathers, the Lewis Brothers, and Phillips.
Sudderth, Daniels, Archer, and Carroll were all gone, but despite those
personnel changes, Atlantic Starr was still distinctive and recognizable. As the
Band Turns, which contained the major hit "Secret Lovers," turned out to be
Atlantic Starr's last album for A&M; in 1987, they moved to Warner Bros. and
fared well with the album All in the Name of Love and the smash hit "Always." A
syrupy adult contemporary ballad, "Always" reflected the Lewis Brothers' desire
to have the type of crossover success that Whitney Houston and Lionel Ritchie
had been enjoying in the '80s; they got their wish when "Always" soared to
number one on both the pop and R&B charts.

After All in the Name of Love, Weathers left the band to pursue a solo career
and was replaced by Porscha Martin, who was featured on 1988's We're Movin' Up.
Martin was around for a few years before being replaced by Rachel Oliver
(Atlantic Starr's fourth female vocalist) in the early '90s. Atlantic Starr's
relationship with Warner Bros. ended after 1991's Love Crazy, and in 1994, the
band recorded one album for Arista: Time. That album was a commercial
disappointment and the single "I'll Remember You" only made it to the fifties on
Billboard's R&B and pop singles charts. Time (which was David Lewis' last album
with the band) found a fifth female singer, Aisha Tanner, replacing Oliver. And
when 1999's Legacy was distributed by the small, independent Street Solid label,
Atlantic Starr unveiled yet another lineup -- one that consisted of two Lewis
Brothers (Wayne and Jonathan) as well as Oliver (who had returned and replaced
Tanner) and a new male singer named DeWayne Woods. Although Legacy received very
little attention, Atlantic Starr hung in there and was still performing for
die-hard fans when the 21st century arrived. © Alex Henderson
