Oh Romeo was a Hi-NRG concept group created by the Hi-NRG mogul Bobby "O" Orlando in 1982.

Composition

Besides Bobby Orlando, who figured in all releases of the group, there were different session singers and models used for each release.

Throughout its existence, Oh Romeo was managed by Joseph Lodato and Lee Borden, who worked in labels associated with Bobby Orlando.

Lyrics

Bobby Orlando was responsible for writing the lyrics of the group. While some of the lyrics were published under his name, others were published under the Orlando pseudonym "C. Shore". C. Chase (Clifton "Jiggs" Chase) cowrote "Saving Myself for the One that I Love" with Bobby Orlando.
