The Rude Boys, an American R&B group from Cleveland, Ohio, emerged in the early 1990s with a distinctive blend of R&B, soul, and new jack swing. Discovered by Gerald Levert, the group comprised Larry Marcus, Melvin Sephus, and brothers Edward Lee "Buddy" Banks and Joe Little III. Their 1991 hit single, "Written All Over Your Face," topped the R&B charts and reached number 16 on the pop chart. The Rude Boys' collaboration with Levert and their association with acts like LeVert and The O'Jays solidified their place in the R&B scene. In 2019, they were inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame, recognizing their contributions to the genre.
