About The Record:

Beyond A Dream, by By All Means, is a smooth contemporary R&B and soul album featuring a blend of original tracks and a standout cover of Marvin Gaye's classic Let's Get It On, which opens the record and became one of the group's most successful singles, reaching No. 3 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart. The follow-up single Do You Remember also achieved notable success, peaking at No. 17 on the same chart. Fan-favorites and frequently highlighted tracks include the romantic ballads Tender Love, Stay With Me Tonight, I Think I Fell In Love, and I Know You Well, showcasing the group's harmonious vocals and laidback grooves typical of late-80s mellow soul. A unique aspect is the group's mixed male-female vocal lineup, which adds a distinctive dynamic to the sophisticated, quiet storm-influenced sound produced by Jimmy Varner and Stan Sheppard. Overall, the album represents a solid effort in the era's R&B scene with its classy, slow-stepping vibes.
