- They couldn’t have been more different on the outside however, on the inside their hearts all beat to the same R&B drum. Every time they opened their mouths to sing, the mouths of anyone within earshot dropped to the floor. Success was inevitable. However, after many years of brotherhood and hit making, personal issues among the members would pull them apart forever. Let’s find out what happened to American ‘90s R&B group Color Me Badd.

Once upon a harmony... George Michael, Vanilla Ice, Kenny G, and Rick James formed a super group called color me badd..
Lmao I was just saying that 😂😂
@@user-oe2ov7du8l I stole the joke, but still funny though.
@@jordonvazquez7620 Lol I know it's a meme
😂😂😂
That's mostly what we called them back then except we called Kevin Milli Vanilli LMAOOO 😂😂😂😂
The saddest part to me is they were all childhood friends and now don't seem to want to be in the same room together.
I hate all my childhood friends too
I feel sorry for your mother.
Blame it on the alcohol
Life is like a plane ride. you may get to know a person and then they leave for life off to another destination.
@@ByCrom thats the gayest qoute ive heard.
Wow! Just seeing this ! This is very good at keeping the facts! I met them in 1991 . Created all their looks including the colored suits ! Married Mark in 1992 and married for 32yrs. I know everything so I appreciate this staying classy and factual. Styling them before Mark and I got married then all of us living together in the house for 2yrs in NY before our daughter was born was a whole story too! Thank you ! Lisa Smedley - Calderon
Hi Lisa ,
Mark has always been my fave , my husband and I met in 1991 and we used to listen to CMB all the time , we been together 33 years this year ….sending my best to you all , much love from the uk xx
He was my favorite one! 😍
I was 10 in 1991 and I remember when I wanna sex you up was considered to raunchy for radio/TV. Crazy how far our society has come. That song is actually classy compared to some of the trash our society has succumbed to. I always wondered what happened to the Group because they were so talented. I hope your life is full of love and fulfillment. Tell your husband there is still fans 33yrs later and he has God given talent cultivated with his hard work. Your Friend in Louisville KY

Ppl always think I'm a troll acct because the picture. That's my wife from Ivory Coast. My YT account was banned during c19 so we share hers. Lol.
P.S. I loved your work on the movie Uncle Drew.
@@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972 that's so sweet. Thank you. Yes 32 years married and 2 grown kids later! Thanks for the support. I was the stylist of all the looks of Color Me Badd.
@@liliacastellanos921 thank you!! My husband and father of our 2 great kids! I also dod all the styling for Color Me Badd
Imagine singing for Jon Bon Jovi outside a movie theater and he asks you to open for his band the next night?!? That's an amazing story.
Time & Chance was/is woefully underrated. The 6 song stretch of In The Sunshine/Choose/The Bells/Wildflower/Livin' Without Her/Close to Heaven is as good as it gets!
And if someone tried that today they would be tackled by security and charged for bothering rich people
When he pushed that guy and said “I am Color me Bad” made me think of “Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis” 😭😭
Stop it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
OMG 🤣🤣🤣. I'm thinking of scenes from The Five Heartbeats, too! LOL
I can't with yall 🤣 😂 😭
Or... "Can't Nobody Sang Like Eddie Kane"... lol....😆 🤣 😂
Mo Money, New Jack City, Above The Rim, & Waiting to Exhale are just a few of the incredible 90s soundtracks. such an amazing time 🙌🏾
I jam above the rim sound track still to this day.
Definitely Above the Rim
And Boomerang
Yes!! Boomerang. A hit movie had to have a hit soundtrack!
Don't forget Waiting to Exhale, Soul Food, Jason's Lyrics,Bad Boyz 1, Set it Off and Love Jones they had the best soundtracks of all time
They actually wrote "I Adore Mi Amore"? That's pretty impressive. They could all sing really well, dance pretty well, write music, and were all good looking young dudes. That is rare.
and the fact that they all met in high school makes it more rare.
Facts
They wrote a majority of their music
@@mikedavis8008 I am Marks wife and yes they wrote most of their songs!
I was 16 when I met Bryan back in the 90's, and I was star struck. He came in browsing a little shop I worked at the pier in Florida and he signed his autograph for me, he was so nice. Him and his group had a gig there and Downtown Julie Brown was hosting.
Wooooowwww... Downtown Julie Brown.. I'm getting lost in 90s memories lol
One of mt talents is music.I also like art .
“sex you up” was my jam and still is! i hate they ended bad!
I KNOW YOU NOT GONNA SING THAT
m g
Yes, I still love that song!!!
Me too!
Same
Alcohol destroyed Brian. His weight is beyond belief along with depression and eating disorder. I’ve BEEN THERE... but got back on track. I wish the BEST FOR THEM ALL
Yeah I'm trying to get this drinking thing down. It's hard and I feel depressed too. My will just not that strong, got any tips for me love. ❤️
Yes, PRAY!!! Let GOD lead you... go to church, make new friends, get some hobbies and interests to occupy your mind and DO NOT have any alcohol just sitting around!! Try not to let any in your house and stay away from bars/clubs and anyone who hangs there!!! Good luck in life!! ❤️🙏🏼
Vh1 made it seem like these guys were just one hit wonders never knew they achieved this much
Damn man, the slow down of metabolism as we age is REAL!!
along with drinking, eating and depression will definitely do it
It's so interesting to see what causes groups to break up .
Yep, It's usually always about money/ an artist getting the big head or over a woman😞
I'm always so surprised to hear about artists/groups & how they broke up.
@@catherineharris4746 you nonno
Greed, egos, substance abuse so sad 😔
After watching stories on a few groups years ago I learned early on that most of them are just coworkers not friends
I Adore Mi Amor by Color Me Badd is a banger as well!!
My favorite song from them.
All For Love was my weeniebopper jam back in 10th grade.
Thank you. 🙏🏽
@@faith2xxx Thank you, as well. 🙏🏽
One of my favorite songs that I still play to this day
You can have all the talent in the world but CMB epitomizes how it really boils down to luck, the right songs and timing.
I’ve always said that sometimes it’s better to have luck than skills and talent!!’
They made their own “luck” with hard work, dedication and commitment.
Lesson NOT Learned- Just because you can sing... doesn't mean you should sing together.
The music industry will tears friends and family apart.
The industry is the devil
I think it's the haze from being on top. If your not careful you get arrogant.
Nah, it's also the ego and the money (or lack thereof because management takes it all, see: TLC). The booze and the drugs don't help, either. Or, in Britney's case, her dad ruined her life and ripped her off.
Oh please. Some people are morally bankrupt.
@@loualbino5536 That too
These folks stay trying to force these reunions, knowing they never liked each other. Coming back all unhealthy looking........just let it go. Geez.
You have a point there. 🤷🏽♀️
Absolutely!! Let it go man. Go produce, write songs do something! Shout out to the one that chucked the deuces and never looked back!
For real!
Exactly! LOL...
@@ortandia4574 why do you assume they’re not writing songs or producing?
You really did a great job with this. Kudos 👏🏿
I appreciate u for doing these on our favs groups❤️
This channel never disappoints with the content. Color Me Badd put out some classics in the 90s and a lot of our young tails knew we had no business singing I Wanna Sex You Up in middle school and high school 😅😅😅😅.
IKR 😅
I had absolutely no business singing those lyrics but, I can't deny that it was my jam. 😂
I told my mom it was ‘I wanna set you up’. 🤣
I was in 3rd grade
@@OkinInc lmfao
New Jack City, Boomerang, Waiting to Exhale... Just to name a few! Best soundtracks ever!
You ain’t never lied.
@John Campbell absolutely! Yes Sir!
Boyz in the hood was a banger too
💯 soundtracks today doesn't even fit the movie or time period
Above The Rim, Menace II Society, Do The Right Thing, Friday, Waiting To Inhale, New Jersey Drive, Crooklyn, Dead Presidents and Murder Was The Case to name a few 🔥 soundtracks that haven’t been mentioned
Such a thorough and enlightened documentary! I remember those days like yesterday ☺️
I always wondered what happened to these guys . They were a part of my growing and I loved them. Glad to know they’re living life still. Nothing but good wishes for them all.
The New Jack City soundtrack had a lot of bangers which include New Jack Hustler by Ice-T, I'm Still Waiting by Johnny Gill, I'm Dreamin by Christopher Williams, I Wanna Sex You Up by Color Me Badd, etc.!!
I'm still waiting by Johnny.. Yes!
Hell yeah
I am going to have to check it out now. I was too young to watch New Jack City then lol

Menace to society
Above the rim
Jason's lyrics
90s soundtracks kicked a$$
I notice how a lot of these stories end the same. Music becomes inconsistent after the first big single(s) /album, dropped from label, breakup, possible addiction, years later only part of the group perform and they don't get along like kids.
You too? It’s crazy how that happens. 😕
Any group's dynamics change & evolve with time.
It's inevitable, especially with groups. Either there's new groups coming out, so the competition is tough. Or they run out of creativity and their songs struggle to stick.
It's like watching episodes of "Scooby Doo"!
😁😁😁😁
Too much ego involved. People like color me badd need to realize that they are extremely lucky to get a second chance. That Las Vegas residency would have set them up for life. But they fucked it up by drinking and fighting like teenagers. Theyre middle aged men with children. They cant be behaving like divas. So pathetic.
I met them years ago during the release of their 2nd album, "Time and Chance". They were the nicest guys. So open and kind. Absolute gentlemen. Great conversation and very humble. These men were underrated. Their vocals were undeniable.
That is nice to hear. Unfortunately, the group just seemed manufactured to make money from what they thought people would want to see.
Good Oklahoma City boys
What a mess. Sad because they knew each other since they were kids.
What a crazy roller coaster ride that group has been on. So many twists and turns. My head’s still spinning. Queen, your channel really does get to the root!!! No other channel does it better. Sad ending for a group with such promise. 😞❤️
Okay! I had to pause the video and catch my breath
Ikr!!

Great to see that Sam is doing well !
Really enjoyed this video 😊 thx for sharing.... smiles
The 90s are the golden age of hip hop and R n B and just about everything
Yeeeeeees! And a couple of years before '90, we had Salt-N-Pepa (Push it), Bobby Brown (It's my prerogative), so I guess we can start from 88 -- absolutely golden, and Mariah Carey ruled from 1990 with her debut album -- almost all songs from that album were a hit! One of my all time fav from that time is 'I touch myself' by Divinlys and 'No rain' by Blind Melon! Those were the days! With MTV and VH1
Eh no. Fashion was alright. Much better than the 60s, 70s, and 80s but still okay.
Yea and the best of all of them was the banger "ice ice baby" by Vanilla ice💪
@@ForeverSweetx3 you say this, but in no timeline, is an original pair of Airwalk Style 1's, dated.
Truth!
The Mo' Money soundtrack had a lot of bangers!!
one of my favorites for sure
Yesss! 🎼 The Best Things in Life are Free 🎼 That was my jam!
Sure did
@@mojadah10 Yes! I would have never thought to put Janet and Luther together but, they killed that track. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
@@mojadah10 yes
Love the content. It really takes you back to the 90s.
Thank you for all of that information, Ma'am.
All this dam time I thought Jon B. left the group to pursue a solo career. When all along he was NEVER in the group. I confused him for Brian Abrams 🤦🏾♀️😂😂😂
Jon B had Jack Herrera
So that’s not Jon B how Sway!!!!!
😆😄😆😆
😂
I can't with you!!!

Amazing the implosion of this group and as individuals as well. Hope they all found peace eventually.
*Like **#16K** Range* Wow! So much information I did not know was shared here. Great Work and thank you for your thorough research.
So no one is going to talk about Brian’s eyebrows 😂😂
😂😂😂I was looking at that last photo. 🤦
@@bsbncandey Girl 😂
🖐️
Exactly all eyebrows stayed on fleek😂
LOL say less
My sister was OBSESSED with these guys back in 1991 (pretty much every girl back in Philly at the time was) and played the cassette until it basically stopped working. It just makes me laugh seeing them now because she always referred to Sam as "Forehead", never by his name.
damn i bet a bunch of kids referred to him as that lol poor guy. i personally love a big ass forehead
And every smart dude in HS played that tape on dates ; )
What's a cassette?
This Group was special with their Talent and their legendary singles still blowing on my Playlist 🎼Keep up fellows and Live Strong💪🙏💯Fellows made good 🎶
Well ol forehead is the most successful one lol
I would love to see these guys do a reunion on the BET Awards!! That would be so dope!!
They did like almost 8 years ago .
As someone who grew up in this era, Color Me Bad was one of those groups that teetered between cool and corny but somehow by a stroke of good luck, made it to cool. Kind of like the Spice Girls who would come out over a decade later.
Money, fame, and ego… always a recipe for disaster. Such talent, glad we all got to see a glimpse of what they could have been. Love the content on this channel
Thanks for the support! 🥰
It's funny the most successful one in the group left in 98' and never came back instead focused on producing and living his own life with family.
And he was the least popular, growing up everyone always talked about how fine Brian was
Because he really got saved and walked away from all of the foolishness- why he went back , not sure
@@lorethajohnson8140 And ironically Brian is currently the least attractive of all of them.
you mean the guy with the forehead in the back ground?
@@lorethajohnson8140 i guess you are not from the UK.
WOW!! This took a lot of time to research this info....THANK YOU!! I love these guys! I have their 1st/debut cd in my van and sing along to it often. Now that I know their history, it'll be a little different when I sing, but I digress....
My siblings and I loved these guys, So sad to hear this story but hope things are getting better for them now!!!
The early 1990s era seemed to be filled with so many music stars who were so big at the time. I remember the feeling of that time when I was extremely young and Color Me Badd was one of the most talked about groups out there! C+C Music Factory, MC Hammer, Hi-Five, and Boys 2 Men automatically come to mind as some of the most popular acts when I think about 1990-1993.
I was in high school then and remember all of them
I have always wondered why C+C Music Factory never kept up making music. They sounded great to me then. I guess maybe the producers were trying to farm the music, like maybe they threw a bunch of people (unfamiliar with each other) together to sing the songs they were given.
Whatever happened, the group didn’t develop much past the initial hits and they seemed to dissolve.
It’s like no one ever talks about them anymore, but they had some really great songs.
@@BlackSeranna One of the producers (David Cole) died shortly after the release of their second album. Along with that, the guy who raps on "Everybody Dance Now" (Freedom Williams) left the group after the first album. Things fell apart basically and were never quite the same. Not to mention after the lawsuit and lip-sync scandal, the public wasn't feeling them as much. Similar to what happened with Milli Vanilli just not on as huge a level.
@@BlackSeranna Before the release of their second album Freedom Williams who was the rapper in the group left to be a solo artist. Then, one of the two producers (David Cole who's the other "C" in C+C) died after they released their second album. With half of the original group gone, I believe Robert Cliviles (the first "C" in C+C) just hung it up. The female singer, Zelma Davis, apparently was blacklisted in the music industry after C+C due to her being so closely associated with the Martha Wash lip-synching scandal from C+C's debut single "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).
@@TheNewgreatlife Ah, thank you! You know, before the big scandal with Milli Vanilli, we rocked out that summer, 1989. The songs are still good, but the lip syncing threw a shadow over the whole thing and ruined it.
The worst part is, those guys could actually sing. The original singers were American soldiers based in, I believe, Germany at the time. They recorded the songs and then the songs were lip synced by the Milli Vanilli members.
I thought it sounded so crazy at the time; I think the general population was baffled as to why music producers would think that this was a good idea to create a team of “musicians”.
Right after it happened, our local radio station had a “Milli Vanilli Hits Day”; the whole day the dj’s played top of the chart singles music from GNR, Digital Underground, Bel Biv Devoe, etcetera, and back tagged the music with, “That was Milli Vanilli.”
Sam had to be the smartest one. He had the good sense to run from the train wreck that was roaring down the track
Very informative-thank you!
Nice job! 99% of this was stuff I didn’t know. Subbed👍🏾
Damn.😐
No wonder they want nothing to do with Brian.
Not only did he put his hands on Mark, but he ruined a nice opportunity for a Vegas residency deal for ALL of them.
I was so shocked when I heard that. I would be LIVID!!! 🤬
@@JuicyPopEntertainment
One of my pet peeves is when people unnecessarily ruin things for other people like he did.
I feel like if you want to ruin your own life or spoil something ruin it and spoil it for YOU, don't drag other people around you down too.
@@greatgownsbeautifulgowns alcohol and drugs will cloud your logical and critical thinking

That's true, but you're still allowed to be pissed at people who cut up while they're (allegedly) under the influence.
Bad behavior is bad behavior whether someone is drunk or high or not.
It's that the one who is a wife beater?
Giant Records had a lot of acts on there like Color Me Badd, Jade, Hammer, Miki Howard, Tara Kemp, Lord Finesse, Big Mountain, Ahmad, Letters to Cleo, etc.!!
Even Christopher Williams signed to that label after being dumped off MCA Uptown Records.
And the group Cold Premiere. The group that performed the song "That Body" in the movie "Class Act". Follow whats happening with them on CZcams " A Quiet Giant".
Facts
That was Miki’s Ain’t Nobody Like You era, too. Supreme bop right therrre 💯. And Jade were too underrated!
Hi-Five went to Giant, but they only released Tony's solo album
Enjoy your time and keep it moving, keep learning, keep growing.
They were a talented group and brings me back to my senior year in high school!!
Brian and I are friends on Twitter and have spoken a couple times, though we don't know each other personally. He's a really nice guy now that he's sober.
He prolly want some of that brown sugar lol.

The racial diversity in Color Me Badd completely contrasted with what was going on in the streets at the time (ex.'92 LA riots) so much so I recall people suspecting the group was manufactured that way, like a gimmick. Jokes were made, but their talent was undeniable. CMB hustled to make it and deserved their achievements. While I don't think groups need to stick together forever, it stinks they didn't part ways amicably.
Just shows you that most American kids at least without being told they shouldn't from politicians and such make friends with kids of all different types without regard to their colors it happens millions of times all across the country it just doesn't fit the narrative
not sure how they are racially diverse. they only had one black guy in the group. ps.mexican isn't a race.
@@CoolGobyFish Stop being a dumbass lol “white” is also not a race, ethnicity, or nationality if you want to be specific. Anglo-American is the proper prefix. But let’s get to the point here,.. there was a Jew and a Latino in the group. So stop trying to be that politically correct douche, especially if you’re only going to half ass the ethnicity. Point here is, they all had different homage cultures but they were all N.American
@@CoolGobyFish You are correct, Mexican is not a race (Latino/Latin-X/Hispanic would be ethnicities) which is why I never mentioned it being one 😄. However, Caucasian, Native-American, and African-American/Black are races identified within this group, which makes them more diverse than many of the top R&B groups in the early 90's that had all Black members.
@@hushg2000 Jew is religion, while Latino is a language group. White is a race. Mexican is a nationality, as in citizenship. Mexicans come in all races and ethnicities, just like Americans
It's my 2nd time to watch your videos and I love your channel. ☺️👍
Very informative I never knew so, much went on in the group.
Things to Do on a Rainy Day is still one of my favorite episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210 because of Color Me Badd's appearance
I was 7 when that episode came out. Was so mad my mom made me take my bath at the end of the episode when they serenade Donna lol

@@SharJones87 *heroes*
Yep! Always honored at home! I pray that they overcome their personal issue and atleast become cordial.
Quick, fast, and in a hurry! I love it!! I liked their music!!
My dad used to work with all 4 of them when they were in high school. Bryan called my house looking for my dad once but i didnt realize who it really was until after i hung up i was at a party with one of the guys when i was younger
i adore mi amor is such an underrated song 😍
Most definitely
Thinkin’ Back was also underrated.
I use to love them when I was a kid growing up in the 90’s. I remember my mom use to have their cassette which was black from what I remember lol
Lol that was the New Jack City soundtrack their album/cassette cover had a picture of the 3 of them with the group name in color

Thank you and it was very interesting.
💜💯😏
I played their trademark song until the cassette tape went bad. That song was/is good for any playlist, sex, cardio, weight lifting. It will go down in my top 30 all time favorite list. Thanks for the update. I always wonder what happened to them whenever I hear their music.
Robin Thicke also wrote Color Me Badd's song Sexual Capacity which was on the Striptease soundtrack
I absolutely loved Color Me Badd! I still listen to their music today (side note: their version of New Births' "Wildflower" is amazing!) The fact that they went through so much turmoil in the end disappoints me greatly! I wish they, all 4 original members, could come back together, but it's wishful thinking. And it's a shame Brian had/has all these issues that partially contributed to their seperation.
I always wanted to know what happened these guys & great investigation
Stay Awesome
Few things are more sad than a grown man trying to relive his youth. One of those things is a man that paints on his eyebrows...
I remember someone leaving a comment on another video suggesting you do this group. You listened and responded. Subscribed.
Subscribed now too ✅
They were one of a kind and really paved the way. Seems like Mark and Brian really had/have some internal struggles that they still need to work on. I hope they heal and get the help they need. It is nice to see Kevin and Sam doing well. Can we get a tribute concert though....?!
No
No way. They don't perform well together.
Probably not, Kevin and Sam don't want to go near the train wreck that is Mark and Brian, I don't think....
@@grizzlyfan41 *Bryan
Paved the way? All of their songs were old R&B songs by Black artists!😂
Loving this channel content 1 thing that would be dope is, You guys should add snippets of every hit record to give us some more nostalgia, It's alot of ppl who remember the names and songs but not who sung them, Just a little recommendation great content
Licensing costs money.
Life sure can get complicated. Loved these guys. ✌️
Disputes over money, drugs or alcohol always is apart of things like this; it’s just terrible and I hate it. Hope ALL of them eventually find complete peace.
Sam really is killing it with the music production. Also, I would love to hear some new music from Tamyra.
He is you should check out my friend's music, Aranda. He still writes with them. I don't know if he will for their next album. Their first album was a mix of gospel, rock, pop, funk, and pop.
Wow...glad this came across my timeline...that was deep!... people be really going through it...................

YOU'RE GOING TO BE GOOD. 🔥🔥🔥🔥IN THE ESSENCE OF HISTORY COLOR ME BADDDDDD WAS TRULY AN AWESOME GROUP. THEY'RE ISSUE, ARE WHAT WE ALL FACE ACCORDING TO OUR DECISION AND OUT LOOK ON THINGS.NEVER JUDGE OT BE HAUGHTY. WE ALL HAVE A LIGHT SWITCH. DARK OR LIGHT. WE(YOU) DECIDE WHETHER YOU TO ROLL IN DARKNESS OR LIGHTNESS.
It’s kinda’ the messy, drama filled situation I expected. They couldn’t even get it together enough to monetize the amazing brand that developed. They should all be able to live quite comfortably just off of that. Unfortunate.
Sam Waters, who put his energy in a solid relationship and beginning a family, salute to you sir. That is success.
Is it me or did anybody notice how...? She made it a point to say Kevin (a black man) had "baby mamas" BUT sugar coated it by saying Brian (a white man) had a drinking problem and occasionally fought his wife instead of saying Brian was/is a DRUNK WHO BEATS WOMEN. #KeepItReal
👋🏿Thank you 🤷🏾
The shade is apparent...

But isn't that what you call it when you have babies with people you aren't married to ?
@@datboymediatvmedia7011 or you could call them the mother/father of the child(ren)🤷🏾😎
I loved color me badd. One of my faves from the 90s which was my teen years. They were even on an episode of my fave show Beverley hills 90210
great vid on cmb !
I still have a Color Me Badd cassette tape🤣🤣🤣 I play it every now and then
Brian and Mark should technically now call the group "Push Away From The Table" YIKES
Or Color Me Fatt
WILL ARCHER 💀
🤣😂😆! That's funny
My parents bought their second album. We played that cassette until it broke. Time and Chance song is my favorite Color Me Badd song.❤️❤️❤️
This was a very good documentary 👏
This was incredible. You did a wonderful job on this video.
I'm saddened to hear they went through so much. I remember them and I still listen to their music today and always will. God bless these guys and their families.
Great video. Thanks.
This was excellent
Edit: Go Sam!
WOW !! That was exhausting asf !! I just felt embarrassed the whole way through this ! You can say one thing tho ? Brain let himself go , but managed to keep his eyebrows on fleek !!!!!
Shuvving him on the stage was hilarious. “I’m color me badd bitch!”
Yeah, a fat head (and the rest). Later slapping Mark with a lawsuit for using the name "Color Me Badd". Bitchy Brian didn't learn!
That was soo 'High school'...
😂 indeed... crazy
@@MrBenHaynes Mark Calderon sued Bryan first. What is shown here is just Bryan’s countersuit.
They shoulda been on top one of the greatest voice bands ever.
Bryan was chubby in elementary school. I was surprised when I saw him around town performing and so small. So proud of Kevy Kev! He has always been talented and a great guy. I miss the early CMB. Hate it went down like that.
WOW! This was so good! Amazing job researching this. I had no idea that so many things happened. Also, I remember that boy band show and had wondered what happened to it.
I would love to see stories on Tara Kemp, Big Mountain, rapper Ahmad, The Coup, Horace Brown, Tone-Loc, Young MC, Jane Child, Robbie Nevil, Keith Murray, Memphis Bleek, Amil, etc.
Yes
Always wondered what happened to Tara kemp.
Yes!
Yea I'd love to see Tara kemp too 💯💯✌️
