The biggest hit from this album was "I Want Her" (#1 R&B/#5 Pop), and the title track from the album was hit #2 on the R&B charts. Sweat continued to chart fairly well with his sophomore album I'll Give All My Love To You, which hit #3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Keep It Comin debuted in the Top 20 of the album chart.

Color Me Badd
Color Me Badd originally formed in the mid-1980s while its members were attending Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Founding members Bryan Abrams and Mark Calderon were singing in various talent shows, and were often each other’s biggest competition. After a while, the two teens decided to form a group along with their respective best friends, Kevin Thornton and (former member) Sam Watters.
The group named themselves Take One, and started learning the harmonies from various songs, including the doo-wop jingle from a Levi’s 501 Blues commercial airing at the time. The young men performed the jingle at a talent showcase and became something of a phenomenon at the school. They initially practiced their singing in the hallways, but when the crowds became too large and students were skipping classes to listen longer, Take One were forced to practice in the men’s room — which didn’t stop female classmates from coming by to listen. The group became so well known, they even earned a special mention in the school’s 1987 yearbook.
In July of 2010, Color Me Badd re-emerged as a duo comprised of founding members Bryan Abrams and Mark Calderon. The guys headlined a concert in Hawaii (also starring All-4-One and Shai), and were well-received by the audience and the local media.
In early 2011, Color Me Badd came back in a more “official” way, this time as a trio comprised of Bryan, Mark, and Kevin “KT” Thornton! Big things are on the way! Details will be revealed on this site as they emerge.
