The Funky Bunch

Back in the day, before the emergence of Gangsta Rap there were several jump up and party anthems. Part of the inspiration for that exciting time period in musical history was a talented recording group out of Boston--- Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch. The group (founded by New Kids On the Block's Donnie Whalberg) transcended musical barriers and created what became known as their own brand of music of the people. With their infectious melodies, high energy, soulful vocals and dynamic dance moves the group (Mark Whalberg, Scott Ross, Hector Barros, Terry Yancey and Anthony Thomas) scored with the multi-platinum and #1 hit "Good Vibrations". After touring worldwide, receiving awards and making several hundred television and radio appearances, the group suddenly stopped recording; never formally disbanding, knowing that the time would come for them to re-emerge, bigger and better than ever.
