Group 1 Crew was an American Christian hip hop band signed to Fervent Records and Warner Bros. Records . They made their debut with the hit song "Can't Go On" on WOW Hits 2007 . Soon after they released their first EP I have a dream (2006), the band released their self-titled full-length debut studio album, Group 1 Crew , in February 2007. Their song "Love is a Beautiful Thing" charted into the Top 20 in May 2007 on R&R magazine's Christian chart.[ 2] The group's second studio album Ordinary Dreamers was released on September 16, 2008.[ 3] Their popular radio single "Forgive Me" appeared on Season 5 Episode 2 of One Tree Hill , which premiered on January 8, 2008. In September 2010, they released the album Outta Space Love , which has proven to be their most mainstream effort, as many of the songs were used in the reality television show America's Got Talent . In 2017, it was announced that Manwell would be departing the group in order to pursue other interests.[citation needed ]
