The Basement Boys had all previous experience as DJs in the Mid-Atlantic states and they began producing together in 1986. In 1988, the group scored a hit single together with \"Love Don't Live Here Anymore,\" which hit No. 25 on the U.S. Dance Club Play and No. 31 on the Maxi-Singles charts. In 1989, Davis left the group and Sean \"DJ Spen\" Spencer (one of the writers of the Milli Vanilli hit \"Girl You Know It's True\") joined.
