Quote: The title track of the album Bad Boys became a Number One hit in almost every European territory and sold approximately seven million copies worldwide; and "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" exploded across the world, simultaneously topping the charts in several countries in Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the European continent-where it became the most-played record ever in Germany and remained at #1 for a full three months. After winning a 1993 Grammy for Best Reggae Album with "Bad Boys," the band scored again with the 1994 album Reggae Dancer, which earned another Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album. That disc featured the breezy "Summer Jammin'," featured in the soundtrack of Eddie Murphy's film Beverly Hills Cop III. Meanwhile, the durable "Bad Boys" became a hit again when it was used as a title song for the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence action film of the same name. Unfortunately, at around this time lead singer Calton fell ill, necessitating a lengthy recovery period. In his absence, the band connected with Kingston native Kris Bentley, former lead singer of the popular Jamaican group Skool and winner of the 1994 Caribbean Music Song Festival. When Calton opted for a solo career upon his recovery, the band invited Kris-whose personal magnetism and rapping skills added a new dimension to the band's live performances-to join permanently.
