Find sources: "Boy Krazy" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (January 2015) The group was put together through auditions by a management company in New York.[1] Boy Krazy featured female singers Kimberly Blake, Josselyne Jones, [Johnna Lee Cummings](/source/Johnna_Lee_Cummings), Renée Veneziale, and Ruth Ann Roberts (a former Miss Junior America). Their signature [pop](/source/Dance-pop) song "That's What Love Can Do", written and produced by British mega music trio [Stock Aitken Waterman](/source/Stock_Aitken_Waterman), was released in 1991, but it failed to become a hit. Shortly after the release of the single, Veneziale left the band. Carrying on as a foursome, the group released their second single "[All You Have to Do](/source/All_You_Have_to_Do)" in 1992, but it also failed to chart. That same year, "That's What Love Can Do" started gaining success in clubs and [discothèques](/source/Discoth%C3%A8que) across America and substantial airplay on radio stations. The song was remixed and re-released, becoming a hit in the US where it peaked at #18 on the [*Billboard* Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100) in February and March 1993.[2] It also reached #1 in pop airplay on the Radio & Records CHR/Pop chart. In the liner notes from their self-titled album the group credited [KQKS](/source/KQKS)/[Denver, Colorado](/source/Denver%2C_Colorado), for breaking the song after one of the staffers played a remixed version of the track in December 1992. The album *[Boy Krazy](/source/Boy_Krazy_(album))* was released in 1993, and also included the follow-up single "[Good Times with Bad Boys](/source/Good_Times_with_Bad_Boys)", which also hit the Billboard Hot 100. Each member sings the lead vocals on at least two songs on the album, which includes many tracks written for [Kylie Minogue](/source/Kylie_Minogue) had Minogue stayed on Stock Aitken Waterman's [PWL](/source/Pete_Waterman_Entertainment) label. Main lead singer Cummings left the band in late 1993. The remaining members tried to develop a new album unsuccessfully and the group split shortly after. Additionally, they were supposed to release "Love Is a Freaky Thing" as their fourth single, but it was never released. ## Recent projects After the group's demise, Ruth Ann Roberts switched careers and has become well known in the [professional wrestling](/source/Professional_wrestling) community. Now using her real name, [Rue DeBona](/source/Rue_DeBona), she co-hosted [WWE](/source/WWE)'s *[After Burn](/source/WWE_After_Burn)* from 2003 to 2004.[3] She married former co-host, [Josh Matthews](/source/Josh_Mathews) in 2006, but they divorced in 2008. From there, she moved to [Ion Television](/source/Ion_Television), and hosted the short-lived *Firebrand*, an attempt at commercials-as-content website and TV show.[4] Cummings pursued a solo career, but it was unsuccessful. In July 2007, Portland, Oregon-based filmmaker Kimberly Craig posted *Expect Less*, a short documentary featuring Cummings on [YouTube](/source/YouTube). In it, Cummings discusses her life since the hey-day of Boy Krazy.[5] Josselyne Jones (now known as Josselyne Herman-Saccio) is now a producer and agent, founding Josselyne Herman & Associates[6] in New York City. She is also a coach for the Landmark (Forum) and Landmark's Advance Course. Renee Veneziale sang with different bands, among them Fig, Delux and RnR. She has also worked as a theater actress, and is now a [yoga](/source/Yoga) teacher. In August 2009, Boy Krazy's back catalogue was reissued through [iTunes](/source/ITunes), including three songs recorded for the album but never released: "Exception to the Rule", "I'll Never Get Another Chance Like This", and "Don't Wanna Let You Go". Also issued were a host of unreleased remixes, including commissioned mixes for the never released fourth single "Love Is a Freaky Thing". ## Discography **Albums** - *[Boy Krazy](/source/Boy_Krazy_(album))* (1993) **Singles** - "[That's What Love Can Do](/source/That's_What_Love_Can_Do)" (1991) UK #86 - "[All You Have to Do](/source/All_You_Have_to_Do)" (1992) UK #91 - "That's What Love Can Do" (house remix) (1993) UK #80, US Hot 100 #18, US Adult Contemporary #19, Australia ([ARIA](/source/ARIA_Charts)) #124,[7] Canada #7 - "[Good Times with Bad Boys](/source/Good_Times_with_Bad_Boys)" (1993) US #59, Canada #32 ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["A Journey Through Stock Aitken Waterman: Ep 70: That's What Love Can Do on Apple Podcasts"](https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ep-70-thats-what-love-can-do/id1565879477?i=1000653161122). *Apple Podcasts*.
