Exploring the R&B Magic of Starpoint

Let's take a moment to appreciate the impact and legacy of an American R&B sextet that serenaded the '80s with their blend of funk and R&B: Starpoint.

Originating from Crownsville, Maryland, Starpoint, known for their electrifying albums, became a staple on the Chocolate City label before moving to Elektra. But it wasn't just about the funky grooves; the powerful vocals of Renée Diggs added a sophisticated R&B touch to their music, making each song a resonating experience.

With a dynamic lineup over the years, including impactful producers like Lionel Job, Keith Diamond, and the legendary Teddy Riley, Starpoint has been more than just a band; they've been an evolving story of music that still plays a significant role in R&B culture. While, tragically, the band lost Renée Diggs in 2005, her legacy and the spirit of the band continue to influence and shape the genre.

For fans looking to explore or revisit Starpoint's discography, there's an alluring charm to streaming their tracks on TikTok Music. Here, the richness of their work can be fully appreciated, from their funk-infused beginnings with 'Keep On It' to their sophisticated R&B sounds. It's a journey through time that's just a click away.
