Amazing things happen when you watch youtube. I didn't realize that Kids Incorporated, the original live action television show that paved the way for future Teen N.B.C. shows Saved By The Bell, City Guys and Hoop Dreams.
If you remember the premise of Kids Incorporated you remember that the show was a comedy with a musical element to it. Kids would break out into the hit pop songs of the day at a moments notice and do their thing. But when I looked at the intro and the credits rolled up I hadn't known that not only was r and b singer, Rahsaan Patterson, who played "KID", back then black kids didn't get names for characters - they just got pro noun s- a former cast member but so was singer Martika, singer of MTV HIT TOY SOLDIERS and so was Fergie who played Stacy. She was kind of different back then. She was chubby, cute and not addicted to crystal meth:
Check out the intro:
