Originating from Carson, California, the Suns of Light are composed of brothers Khiry, Hakeem, Tajh and Bilal Abdulsamad. Their parents are Angela Satterwhite and Jabari Abdulsamad (formerly Brown).
Their grandmother taught them singing, dancing, and acting. In the summer of 1984, ages 5 to 10 as "The Boys," the group began busking at the Venice Beach boardwalk.[1]
Their first single, "Dial My Heart" became a hit, charting at #1[2] and was soon followed by "Lucky Charm" which also reached #1 on the U.S. R&B chart.[citation needed] The album, produced by Babyface and L.A. Reid, was certified Platinum and peaked at #32 on the Billboard 200.[citation needed]
Their fourth single "Crazy" became their third R&B #1 in the fall of 1990.[citation needed]
In 1992, production began on their third and final studio album, The Saga Continues. The album was a critical and commercial failure, reaching only #191 on the Billboard 200.[citation needed]
