B.V.S.M.P.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B.V.S.M.P. were a US hip hop group, formed in the 1980s. B.V.S.M.P. was short for Baby Virgo - Shocking Mister P, and the band consisted of Percy Nathan Rodgers, Calvin Williams and Frederick Eugene Byrd.

B.V.S.M.P. are best remembered for the hit I Need You, a syrupy paean to the joys of teenage love which became a worldwide smash in the summer of 1988. It spent 12 weeks on the UK Chart, peaking at Number 3 in July 1988.

Goldie Lookin Chain's 2004 hit You Knows I Loves You is, in part, based around I Need You, containing many of the same lines, for instance "I'm after your heart/oh don't you see" (which on the B.V.S.M.P. original, concludes with "I'm not out to get your virginity", and on the GLC version becomes "and your three kids doesn't bother me"), and "What's it gonna take to get your attention?" (which concludes with "You keep my mind hanging in suspension" on the original, and on the GLC version concludes with "track suit, gold chain and seven inch erection").

B.V.S.M.P. are also mentioned by name in the track Roller Disco on GLC's breakthrough Greatest Hits album.
