Timex Social Club is an American R&B group, formed in 1985 and best known for the 1986 hit single "Rumors".^[1]

Originally known as the Timex Crew, members included Marcus Thompson (founder), Gregory "Greg B" Thomas, Michael Marshall, Craig Samuel, and Darrien Cleage. By 1986, Samuel, Cleage, and Thomas had departed, Alex Hill and Kevin Moore were added, and the name Timex Social Club was adopted^[1] (despite the group's name, Timex Group USA bears no sponsorship of the group). They fused funk and urban R&B.

In 1986, the group released the Vicious Rumors album produced by Jay Logan on Danya/Fantasy Records (A&M in Canada; Mercury in Europe; CBS/Sony in Japan). Its one major hit, "Rumors", written by Thompson, Hill and Marshall, peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #13 in the UK,^[2] and No. 1 on the Billboard R&B, Hot Dance Club Play, and Hot Dance/Disco-12 inch Singles-Sales charts. The two follow-up singles, "Thinkin' About Ya" and "Mixed-Up World", reached the R&B Top 20.^[3]
