"Roses Are Red," Mac Band featuring the MacCampbell Brothers (7/16/88)
According to Joel Whitburn's Top R&B Singles, the Mac Band were a "Dallas-based, eight-member group from Flint, Michigan," whose four vocalists were, naturally, the MacCampbell brothers - Charles, Derrick, Kelvin, and Ray, in case you were wondering. Kind of like the Gap Band with pleasantly anonymous vocals, all the rough edges smoothed out, and no funk, basically. They never got higher than #25 on the chart after this, their first chart ink, and they never bothered the pop charts at all. And for no perceptible reason, I like this song far more than I should. B
