There are two acts with the name Solo
1. A Dutch singer/songwriter (real name: Michiel Flamman).
2. An American rhythm and blues/soul musical group.
1. The Dutch Solo started out as a duo: it was the band name used by Dutch singer/songwriter Michiel Flamman and his musical partner-in-crime, Simon Gitsels. The duo released two albums of melodic, melancholic songs on the esteemed Dutch indie label Excelsior Recordings: Songs ‘N Sounds (2004) and Solopeople (2006). The latter album rather surprisingly spawned a Dutch top 20 hit single:Come Back to Me.
Flamman and Gitsels worked on the third Solo album (2008’s Before We Part) together, but by the time it was released they had parted ways. Solo is now really a solo act: Flamman toured the Before We Part album on his own and will continue to work under the Solo moniker.
In the years before Solo (in 2000, to be precise), Flamman also released an album as J Perkin.
2. Eunique Mack, Darnell Chavis and Daniele Stokes performed on the streets of New York in the early 1990s. The production team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis overheard the guys and helped them get established. The bassist Robert Anderson joined the group to make them a quartet and the line-up that would be known as Solo. The group also had a fifth member named James Smith died before the group met Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The group dedicated an interlude to him on their debut album.

If you miss the 'original' Solo, you should write a nice text about it, and add it as the 2) Solo.
