Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch was an American hip-hop group formed in 1991 by Mark Wahlberg (alias Marky Mark), Scott Gee, Hector 'the Booty Inspector' Barros, DJ-T and Ashey Ace. The group's best known song is 'Good Vibrations', which made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991, while their follow-up song 'Wildside' peaked at number 10.

History[edit]

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch released their debut album, Music for the People on July 23, 1991. The album was a huge success for the group, making it to No. 1 on the Top Heatseekers chart and No. 21 on the Billboard 200. The album's success was fueled by two top-10 singles, both of which were certified gold, 'Good Vibrations', which went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and 'Wildside' which went to No. 10 on the Hot 100. The album itself first went gold on November 15, 1991 before being certified platinum on January 14, 1992.

After the success of Music for the People, the group quickly recorded a follow-up entitled You Gotta Believe that was released on September 15, 1992. However, the album achieved little success, only making it as high as No. 67 on the Billboard 200, as did the album's lone charting single also titled 'You Gotta Believe' which went to 49 on the Hot 100. The group disbanded in 1993 with their last appearance being 'I Want You', which was featured on the Super Mario Bros. movie soundtrack.
