==History==
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch released their debut album, ''[[Music for the People (Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch 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|''Billboard'' 200]]. The album's success was fueled by two top-10 singles, both of which were certified gold, "[[Good Vibrations (Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch song)|Good Vibrations]]", which went to No. 1 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], and "[[Wildside (Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch song)|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.

At the height of the group's success, they also had a video game released by [[Digital Pictures]] titled ''[[Make My Video (series)|Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video]]'', but the game was not a success and has been considered one of the worst video games ever made.<ref>{{cite web|last=Townsend |first=Emru |url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/127579-6/the_10_worst_games_of_all_time.html |title=The 10 Worst Games of All Time - Page 6 |publisher=PCWorld |date=2012-03-14 |access-date=2012-03-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamerankings.com/segacd/587969-marky-mark-and-the-funky-bunch-make-my-video/ |title=Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video for Sega CD |publisher=GameRankings |access-date=2012-03-29}}</ref>

After the success of ''Music for the People'', the group quickly recorded a follow-up titled ''[[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. (film)#Soundtrack|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie soundtrack]].

After the group disbanded, Mark continued his music career by teaming with reggae musician [[Prince Ital Joe]]. The duo released two albums in Europe and had a No. 1 hit in Germany with "[[United (Prince Ital Joe and Marky Mark song)|United]]". Mark continued to release music until retiring in 1998 and becoming a successful actor in the United States.
