[edit] Career

Their signature Pop song That's What Love Can Do, created by British music mega producers Stock Aitken Waterman and recorded in 1991, bubbled under for two years before getting significant airplay. Boy Krazy featured female singers Kimberly Blake, Josselyne Jones (Josselyne Herman-Saccio), Johnna Lee Cummings, and Ruth Ann Roberts (a former Miss Junior America). A fifth member named Renee Veneziale left shortly after "That's What Love Can Do" was first released, in 1991.

They had several singles from the album "Boy Krazy" - including "All You Have To Do" and "Good Times With Bad Boys", all of those single became only minor chart hits. "That's What Love Can Do" was also unsuccessful in the UK, but due to its success in gay Dancehalls and Discoteques across America and substantial airplay on radio stations, the song was remixed and re-released, becoming a hit in the US reaching the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 in early 1993, peaking at #18. In the liners from their self titled album the group credited KQKS/Denver, Colorado for breaking the latter after one of the staffers played a radio-issued remixed version of the track in December 1992.

Main lead singer Cummings left the band in late 1993. The remaining members tried to develop a new album unsuccessfully and the group split shortly after.
