Color Me Badd ~ The Bells You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

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! | |

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.
