TKA
TKA is a Latin freestyle trio that was prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, mainly in New York City and Miami, Florida. Its members originally were Tony Ortiz, Louis "Kayel" Sharpe, and Alejandro "Aby" Escoto—the original lead singer. Due to tension within the group between Kayel and Aby, the latter was later replaced by Angel "Love" Vasquez, which allowed Kayel to assume the lead vocals. The acronym TKA represents their collective initials. Early on, the group's members would state in interviews that the acronym stood for "Total Knowledge in Action" as well. All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. Many Freestyle fans consider them the kings of that genre, although Kayel seemingly downplayed this label, having jokingly stated "There are no kings in freestyle. There is only one king in it—myself."
History
Hailing from New York City, TKA was discovered when it sang at a sweet sixteen party in an East Harlem church in 1984. Record producer and manager Joey Gardner, who attended the party, was impressed with the trio, and, with his help, signed with Tommy Boy Records. The group originally consisted of Tony, Kayel, and Ralph " Aby" Cruz—who was replaced by Angel Vasquez after the release of the single "Tears May Fall". Although not widely known, India was a member of the group in its earliest days, as well. The group's first single was "One Way Love", a major hit in the Latin club communities of New York and Miami, which was followed by "Come Get My Love". An album was then recorded, titled Scars of Love, which included the first two singles. The title track was then released as a single, followed by "Tears May Fall", "X-Ray Vision", and "Don't Be Afraid".

Never Far Away
by: Take 5Everything I do Is all done for you
Lady I'm yours
And everywhere I go
You're always on my mind
You're all I adore
And I'll go
Outta my way
Just to assure
That our love endures I'm yours
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
To keep you nice and warm I'm rushing right home
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
To protect you from the storm I'm rushing right home
Girl I'll be there I'll be right there
I don't need you say
That I love you
A million times a day
Just the little things I do
All done for you
That's how I display
Love
And I'll go
Out of my way
Just to assure you baby
That our love endures I'm yours
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
To keep you nice and warm
(Girl I'll keep you nice and warm,
You know I'll keep you nice and warm
You know I'll keep you nice and warm)
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (I'll be right there)
To protect you from the storm I'm rushing right home
Girl I'll be there I'll be right there
You don't have to go and check my pager
Check my phone and search my pants to figure me out (ha)
Cause I'm an honest man
Don't need a plan, a stronger man
Cause girl there is no doubt
My love's real (as real as it comes)
Even though we are a million miles away from each other
I'm still right here, right here for you
(Here for you, here for you) I could search a million years
And still I wouldn't find anyone as beautiful as you
So rest assured our love endures I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, I'm coming home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, home baby, home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, I'm coming home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, home baby, home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, I'm coming home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, home baby, home baby) I'm never, never, never, never far Never, never, never, never far
Never far, never far I'm never far away I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, I'm coming home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, home baby, home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, I'm coming home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, home baby, home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, I'm coming home baby) I'm never far away...
(I'm rushing home baby, home baby, home baby) I'm never, never, never, never far Never, never, never, never far
