Collage was a United States-based R&B group, recognized primarily for their crossover single "Romeo Where's Juliet?".
Career
The group's initial album, Do You Like Our Music?, came out in 1981 under Solar Records and was produced by the Whispers. Their subsequent release, Get In Touch, marked a transition from the disco and funk influences of their debut toward a boogie-driven urban style. Prior to disbanding, they issued Shine The Light, which included the track "Romeo Where's Juliet?".
"Romeo Where's Juliet?" significantly boosted their fame, achieving moderate success by reaching number 46 on the UK Singles Chart and number 49 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.
Members Larry White, Lee Peters, Richard Aguon, and Ruben Laxamana later collaborated as songwriters on The Whispers' 1987 album Just Gets Better with Time, contributing the lead single "I Want You."
