In 1985 during the peak of old school, just my opinion, Atlantic Star dropped their sixth album. This album was produced while changes were being made in the group. Lead singer Sharon Bryant left the group, and her shoes were filled quite well with her replacement, Barbara Weathers. This album entitled, "As The Band Turns", turned out to be one of the bands' most successful projects & last album under A&M Records.

Some of the highlights are track one “Freak-a-Ristic” which is the ultimate jam whether you are throwin’ down on the pit, roller skatin’ or just chillin’ at the park.  Now for the rest of the line-up Atlantic Starr put together some classic slow jams like “If Your Heart Isn’t In It”, or “Silver Shadows” and the ever popular “Secret Lovers”.  All I can say is there was a major slow jam war brewing in the 80’s and Atlantic Starr may not have won the war but they were definitely a strong contender.
