Biography

Oklahoma City OK, United States (1987 – 1998)

Color Me Badd were a male R&B vocal group which was formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1987. The members were Bryan Abrams, Mark Calderon, Kevin Thornton and Sam Watters.

The a cappella, pop, and hip hop outfit, whose R&B harmony vocals were offset by mild rap interjections and a post-New Kids On The Block street dance image, were discovered by Kool & The Gang’s Robert Bell in 1990.

The group enjoyed 5 U.S. hit singles from their debut album C.M.B. throughout 1991 and 1992. These were “I Wanna Sex You Up” (U.S.#2), “I Adore Mi Amor” (U.S.#1), “All 4 Love” (U.S.#1), “Thinkin Back” (U.S.#16) and “Slow Motion” (U.S.#18). “I Wanna Sex You Up” was also on the New Jack City soundtrack, and hit number 1 on the UK Singles Charts.

Their debut album, C.M.B. was released in September 1991, eventually selling over 6 million copies worldwide, and being certified 3x platinum in the United States by the RIAA.

Color Me Badd performed at the 1991 Smash Hits Poll Winners Awards in the UK, winning the Best New Group trophy. In January 1992, they were awarded the Favourite Single, Soul/R&B trophy at the 19th annual American Music Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. March 1992 also saw Color Me Badd win the Best R&B / Soul Single, and Song Of The Year, categories at the sixth annual Soul Train Music Awards.

    I just had to fix the thing about Epic dropping them in 2000, because that simply did not happen. The group split in November of 1998 when Kevin "KT the Bassman" Thornton left to follow a calling in the ministry. They were not dropped by any label at any time, just so we are clear. They are coming back as a trio, now (no Sam, sadly, as he was my favorite), so keep an eye and ear out. They're in the recording and negotiation phases right now.

    If I could pick one song to represent the early 90s, I think you know what it would be.
