Doo-Wop Hip-Hop to Compulsive Alcoholics: The Unfortunate Fate of Color Me Badd

What would happen if you put George Michael, Kenny G, Vanilla Ice, and Rick James in a harmony filled, doo wop-esque R&b group? You would get the colorful, talented men of Color Me Badd. The early 90’s saw the R & B group Color Me Badd as one of the top trendsetters of that time. Along with other groups that swept the 90s off its feet like Boyz 2 Men, Color Me Badd coined the term, ‘Hip-Hop Doo-Wop’ referring to their style choice and doo-wop feels. With hits like the forever smooth, ‘I wanna Sex You Up,’ and ‘I adore, Mi Amor,’ members Mark, Bryan, Kevin, and Sam Worked hard to seek out anyone willing to put them on, but a good thing didn't last long and not even a decade into their career as a quartet, the group was obsolete leaving behind One huge alcoholic, dysfunctional mess.
