Songoftheday 7/24/18 - Now here we are the two of us, and nothing's gonna come between us again...
from the albums Mo' Money (Original Soundtrack) & Young, Gifted & Badd: The Remixes (both 1992)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #15 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 10
Today's song of the day comes from the multi-racial soul-pop vocal group Color Me Badd, whose debut album CMB had scored five big pop hits in America with "Slow Motion", "Thinkin' Back", "I Wanna Sex U Up", and two songs that went to #1 in "I Ador Mi Amor" and "All 4 Love". Joining the fad of releasing remix albums used by Bobby Brown, Jody Watley, and Janet Jackson, the group put out Young, Gifted & Badd to tide the time between albums. The one unreleased song on the set was the ballad "Forever Love", taken from the soundtrack of the Damon Wayans movie Mo Money. Written and produced by the group with the Flyte Tyme producers Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis, it was released as a single after the success of Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson's top ten pop hit "The Best Things In Life Are Free", and followed it up the chart...
"Forever Love" became Color Me Badd's sixth top-40 pop hit in October of 1992. The single just missed the top-40 in Canada at #41, and was a minor hit in Australia at #91. Two more tracks from the Mo' Money album were decent R&B hits as well, with New Edition singer Ralph Tresvant's "Money Can't Buy You Love" spending a week at #2 and Soul II Soul's Caron Wheeler's "I Adore You" climbing to #12.
