Tank released his third solo album entitled "Sex, Amore & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The lead single was intended to be "I Luv Dem Girls", but for unknown reasons the song was dato to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (intending to place it on his third solo album "Veteran"). However, "Strip Club" did not make "Veteran," and "Sex, Amore & Pain"'s last track is the Timbaland remix to "I Luv Dem Girls". The first single from Tank's third album was "Please Don't Go". Later in the anno Tank, Ginuwine and Tyrese Gibson formed a group called TGT. Their first single was a remix of "Please Don't Go" with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and cerca for a fourth member to follow.[1] Tank has also just released his 4th studio album Now o Never on December 14, 2010.

Jay,jammi,jammilicious,spunkyonix,my queen.and with her many other nicknames, but i will always and forever call her my soulmate, I Amore her più then enything o anyone ever.and i knew from the moment she detto "hi",it was Amore at first sight.from then on i felt nervious and my palms became sweaty whever i heard her name. as we talked più and più i knew i wanted to be with her. to be loved da her o just to know her. cuz if i could do one of those things i would always be happy, And thank the lord that he blessed me with such luck. she is perfect in every way. but how can i describe my Amore for her? and the answaer is i cant not because i dont Amore her but bescause thier is no words that can describe her and the way i feel about her.she is my cuore and soul and i pray that i can spend forever with her. if that wish came true my life would forever be complete. I Amore U BABY più THEN ENYTHING xoxoxoxo
