Youngstown was a boy band originating from Youngstown, Ohio, established in 1998. The group was composed of David "DC" Yeager, Samuel "Sammy" Lopez Jr, and James L. Dallas. They gained recognition primarily for their 1999 hit single "I'll Be Your Everything", which peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and served as the main theme for the Walt Disney Pictures movie Inspector Gadget.
History
Their initial release, "I'll Be Your Everything", was featured both on the Inspector Gadget movie soundtrack and their debut album, Let's Roll. In February 2000, a concert special titled Steps and Youngstown In Concert was broadcast on the Disney Channel, showcasing performances by Youngstown alongside Steps.
The group’s sophomore album, Down For the Get Down (2001), included the single "Sugar," which reached number 21 on the Hot Singles Sales chart. Both of their albums were distributed by Hollywood Records. The track "Could You Love Me" from this second album was subsequently covered by Nick Lachey on his first solo album, SoulO. Moreover, their song "Away With The Summer Days" appeared on the soundtrack of The Princess Diaries.
Youngstown officially dissolved in 2005.
