About The Ones
There are multiple artists recording under the name The Ones. 1. a New York city-based dance music group 2. a Portland, Oregon-based rock band 3. a psychedelic rock band of the 1960s featuring Edgar Froese (they would mutate into the far more substantial Tangerine Dream) 4. a mid-1980s rock & roll band from Seattle, WA., United States, part of the early grunge scene 5. a Lansing, MI, United States-based blue-eyed soul group signed with Motown 6. a Fontana, California-based psychedelic rock band featuring lead vocalist Dillon Becerra and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Ledezma 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. 4. Chris Adams and Terry Lee Hale began playing together under the name Need-a-Bass after a chance meeting at Chuckanut Charlie'sbar in Fremont in 1984. Like many Seattle outfits an ad in local music newspaper, The Rocket, led to Jack Endino auditioning and the birth of The Ones, who played for a couple of years in the Seattle area. Toward the end of 1985, after some forty gigs, Jack had to commit more time to one of his other outfits, Skin Yard, leaving Chris and Terry Leeto play on together for a while. Having never clicked with another bassist they soon pulled the plug.
