Songoftheday 3/13/19 - You know I'm not much on words, but I've got to tell you how I feel...
from the album Time and Chance (1993)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #23 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 9
Today's song of the day comes from the R&B/pop vocal group Color Me Badd, who returned in the winter of 1993 with the musically complex and evolved sound evident in the title track "Time And Chance", which became their seventh top-40 hit, but first to miss the top 20. The second offering from the album would be "Choose". Written by the band with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the midtempo ballad had the lushness of Flyte Tyme while spotlighting the members voices quite nicely...
"Choose" became the second top-40 pop hit from Time & Chance in February of 1994. The song was a much bigger success on urban stations, climbing to #5 on the R&B chart in Billboard magazine. Internationally, the song reached the top-40 in Canada at #31, and was a minor hit in New Zealand (#45), Australia (#56), and the UK (#65). Their third release from the record, a cover of the 60's nugget "The Bells" written by Marvin Gaye, went to #73 on the R&B chart, while a final single, "Let's Start With Forever", a Diane Warren composition, "bubbled under" the pop Hot 100 at #115.
