The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. was an American 1990s R&B and dance music group, assembled by Robert Clivillés and David Cole of C&C Music Factory. The group featured lead vocals by Michelle Visage, who was formerly a member of another Clivilles & Cole group, Seduction (whose debut CD, Nothing Matters Without Love, had been produced by Clivilles & Cole in 1989). Other primary members included Octavia Lambertis (often credited simply as Octavia or Octahvia) and Cindy Mizelle, both of whom had moderately successful solo careers in the 1980s. Other band members included Gary Michael Wade and Jamal Alicea.[1] The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. produced one hit single,[1] a rap version of a 1978 Bill Withers song "Lovely Day."[1] This song, retitled "It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day," appeared on the 1992 film soundtrack, The Bodyguard. It reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, and peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number 16 in the UK Singles Chart in 1993.[2] The song "It's Gonna be a Lovely Day" was the only song on the soundtrack performed by an artist other than Whitney Houston released as a single in the U.S. Visage went on to become a talk show host, along with RuPaul on the cable channel VH1 and can be seen as a current judge on the LOGO hit show RuPaul's DRAG RACE. Lambertis went on to provide vocals for several other artists throughout the 1990s.
