Big Mountain is an American reggae - band from San Diego , in 1994 an international hit with the song Baby I Love Your Way had.
biography
The group was first called The Rainbow Warriors, then Shiloh and later Big Mountain. The band made their international breakthrough in 1994 with their cover version of Baby, I Love Your Way (originally by Peter Frampton ). The song was featured on the Unity album and the soundtrack for Reality Bites .
The other single releases could not build on the commercial success of Baby I Love Your Way and at best reached lower chart positions. So this track remained Big Mountains' only big hit and made the group a one-hit wonder .
