The Mac Band was an American R&B group from Flint, Michigan, formed by four brothers as the primary vocalists. They are best remembered for their 1988 hit "Roses Are Red".[1]

Overview[edit]

The group's first album, The Mac Band featuring the McCampbell Brothers included productionbyBabyface and members of Atlantic Starr, and one of the tracks from the album, "Roses Are Red" reached No. 1 on the U.S. R&B chart[1] and reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart.[2] Several additional singles were released from this album, with a couple of them becoming minor R&B hits.[3]

Their second album, mostly writtenbyGary Taylor, was not as successful.[1]

Charles McCampbell now runs a music studio in Duncanville, Texas.

Derrick McCampbell (D-Mac) is the Worship Leader for "The Bridge" service at Stonebridge United Methodist Church in McKinney, Texas. He also follows his basketball passion by leading his signature D-Mac Hoops Basketball camps across the Dallas metro area. The camps are focused on team building, basketball skills, and Christian values.[citation needed]
