Thursday music corner: The Badloves were formed in Melbourne in 1990, originally as DC3 and then, a year later, under the name they're best know as. Influenced by American soul and R&B, the band were signed by Mushroom in 1992 after supporting Hall & Oates. The band released two albums: Get on Board in 1993, which reached number 5 in the Australian charts and was certified double platinum, and Holy Roadside in 1995, which reached number 14 and went gold. The Badloves released nine singles during their 1990s heyday, scoring two Australian top 40 hits: supporting Jimmy Barnes on a cover of The Band's The Weight, which reached number 6 in 1993, and Green Limousine, which reached number 35 in the same year.
The moody soul track I Remember was the second single released from The Badloves' debut album in 1993. Featuring impeccable harmonies, it improved only slightly on its predecessor Lost's number 51 singles chart placing, reaching number 48. It was surpassed by the Barnes single The Weight, which appeared alongside other collaborations with Joe Cocker, Tommy Emmanuel, Diesel, Deborah Conway and Archie Roach on Barnes' seventh album, Flesh & Wood (1993).
