When I was young, this group was a hit. I especially love their song "Kahit Habang Buhay" and Paraiso.

Wow, you still have their tape! Mine was lost ages ago. There's this song that just keeps on going through my mind but I just can't recall the title. Maybe you can help me.=D The line goes: "Papa, he wrote me a letter saying he's gonna be fine..." or something like that.. Can you tell me the title?

I could still remember the group headed by Geneva cruz. I wonder what happen to James and other members. I know that another one is having a singing career. They were trained by Ryan Cayabyab and they were really good at it.

James went on solo for a while, and although his song was really good, there was no follow up singles.

Yes I do!! I was such a fanatic of that group! My first ever crush was JAMES CORONEL on of their members. I was so gaga over that group, and my best friend and I were the school wide known Smokey Mountain Fanatics. I even daydream about being a member of their group. I know some people may find that group as cheesy but I loved them anyway. And every time I would join a singing contest at school I would always sing one of their songs- the song better world was a judges favorite every time I would sing it, probably because I was studying in an all girl school run by nuns and all the judges were nuns… =)

*raises hand* Here I am!lol! I'm a fan of this group, and had been following them ever since their first album launch. I can still remember them being a big hit in the industry during the 90's, and can still recall some of their music videos.

I liked "Kailan" and "Better World". They were really good because they were taught by the best music master, Ryan Cayabyab.

Yeah I still remember them in their song paraiso! I like geneva cruz and jeffrey hidalgo too, they make their own names even after the smokey mountain time.
