About The Ones

There are multiple artists recording under the name The Ones (1) New York city-based dance music group (2) Portland, Oregon-based rock band (3) Edgar Froese's original group. They were short lived, only releasing one typically 60s psychedelic rock single, but mutated into the far more substantial Tangerine Dream. (5) Lansing MI based blueeyed soul group signed with Motown. (1) The Ones are an American electronic dance music band, best known for their 2001 hit single "Flawless", which reached number 7 in the United Kingdom. The trio consists of three male vocalists Paul Alexander, JoJo Americo, and Nashom Wooden, who met while working at the Greenwich Village boutique Patricia Field. Each of them has a background in performing, DJing, and being stylists within the underground New York club and fashion scenes. Their debut single, "Flawless" (inspired by the 1999 film which Nashom appeared in, alongside Robert De Niro), produced by A Touch of Class, was popular among New York DJs even before its official release and became a hit, especially in Europe. In 2004, "Flawless" was sampled and had lyrics added to it by George Michael for his song "Flawless (Go to the City)". Michael's version reached number 8 in the United Kingdom, which gives "Flawless" the distinction of being a hit twice in Britain. The group released a follow up single, "Superstar" which reached number 45 in the same country. In November 2006, they released "Ultramodern", with a music video and clips available at A Touch of Class's website. The video was banned on television.[citation needed] The Ones signed to Peacebisquit management in 2007. They tweaked their look and sound and released a 2008 single, "When We Get Together", with a video clip featuring cameos from the Scissor Sisters, Debbie Harry, Jody Watley, Fischerspooner, Ultra Naté, Cazwell, Colton Ford, and many others. Nomi Ruiz collaborated with The Ones on their single "Let's Celebrate" from their upcoming fourth album "Blast from the Past" (2) The rock band The Ones formed in Portland, Oregon in 2005. Personnel: Andrew Coursen - guitars/vocals, Chad Savage - guitars/backing vocals, Alan D Maly - bass, Tim Slapper - drums, Dave Heston - bass. A self-titled album was released in 2006 on Wax Vaccine records.
