The picture of the band is NOT the Breakfast Club in the page.[edit]

I'm Ed Gilroy's son/Dan Gilroy's nephew. The cover band in the group's wikipedia is NOT the "real" Breakfast Club, ie, the band described in wikipedia.

They are NOT a cover band!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.98.88.5 (talk) 20:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

I'm proposing a merge to Madonna (entertainer), as she, Stephen Bray, and Randy Jackson were the only indisputable notable musicians in this group. King of smart alecks 12:31, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why it should be merged to Madonna at all. They had a top 10 hit as a band and Madonna wasn't even with the group at that time. They are notable in their own right.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 01:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Tuzapicabit, and I've removed the merge tag. A group that has a top 10 hit is usually sufficiently notable to warrant an article of its own -- particularly given that Madonna was not even a member when the group had its biggest hit, and that apparently she was never a member of the group at the same time as Randy Jackson was. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:13, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Jackson[edit]

this is not the randy jackson from american idol, it was michael's younger brother that was in the band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.145.48.230 (talk) 17:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that WAS Randy Jackson from American Idol, the band Journey, session player for Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and many many other recordings. One of the most brilliant bass players in the US. 76.90.229.38 (talk) 23:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to movie[edit]

How about adding something to the page that describes the relationship to the movie "The Breakfast Club", which came out at about the same time that the band was formed? Even if there is no relationship at all, that'd be good to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.38.209 (talk) 08:31, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The band was formed several years before the movie The Breakfast Club was made and released. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:38, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

Is the name of the band “Breakfast Club” or “The Breakfast Club”? The article uses both. Felicity4711 (talk) 22:45, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
