Music Video LinksArtist Biography
Available in:
Big Mountain is an American reggae/pop band, most famous for its cover version of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way," which became a Top 10 hit single in the U.S. in early 1994 reaching number 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number-one on Mainstream Top 40, and number 2 in the UK shortly afterwards.
Big Mountain evolved from the mid-1980s band Rainbow Warriors in San Diego, California. The original line-up included Joaquin McWhinney "Quino" (vocals), Jerome Cruz (guitar), Gregory Blakney (drums), Lance Rhodes (drums), Manfred Reinke (keyboards), and Lynn Copeland (bass guitar).
The band first reached the charts with the song "Touch My Light" in the late spring of 1993, receiving major airplay on mainstream radio stations, such as B-100 and Q-106 in San Diego, Kiss-FM, Power 106 in Los Angeles, Hot-97, KFOG and KMEL in San Francisco. "Baby, I Love Your Way" was included on the soundtrack for the film, Reality Bites, and remained in the Top 10 in the U.S.Billboard Hot 100 and number two for the entire year in the UK Singles Chart, and number one on the year end radio and retail charts in Japan. The follow-up, "Sweet Sensual Love" reached number fifty-one in the UK,Spain and Japan and the album Unity. Their follow up single "Get Together" became a top five hit in Brazil and Norway, (with the line-up now featuring Jamaican guitarist Tony Chin and drummer Carlton "Santa" Davis) BIG MOUNTAIN went on to be a top selling Reggae bands worldwide, selling millions of singles and albums. The band appeared at both the 1994 and 1995 Reggae Sunsplash festivals in Jamaica. Since 2001, the band went semi-active.
