Posted On : August 10, 2020

If you know 90’s R&B, you are very familiar with the group, Color Me Badd. They were the multi-cultured 4-man group that had us vibin’ to “I Wanna Sex Up” and “I Adore Mi Amor” back in the day. It’s been years since they released their last album, but a lot has been happening in their personal lives that many aren’t aware of. We recently covered the ups and downs that lead singer Bryan Abrams, has had throughout the years, and now we’re about to introduce you to member, Sam Watters’ (pictured above, far left, with hand raised) wife. She is an actress/singer and was also a VERY popular contestant on “American Idol.” They’ve been married for almost ten years now, but they have kept their marriage on the low for the most part.

About I Love Old School Music

We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
