Color Me Badd ~ The Bells

Never knew about this particular cover. But the song remains a thing of beauty even when under assault from Color Me Badd. That's a testament to the power of good songwriting! wink

I have this album, they remade Wildflower (O'Jays, Skylark, New Birth) on the album too. Ossie davis does the intro to the album and Bootsy Collins played on a couple of songs. Their second album didn't really do anything probably because they dumped the New Jack Swing of the debut.
