Music for the People is the debut album by American hip hop group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. The album was a success, reaching #1 on the Top Heatseekers Albums chart, and #21 on the Billboard 200, thanks to the hit single, "Good Vibrations". Alongside "Good Vibrations", the album spawned an additional top-ten single, "Wildside" (#10 on the Billboard Hot 100), as well as the minor hits, "Peace" and "I Need Money". The album was certified platinum by the RIAA on January 14, 1992.

"Good Vibrations" was Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch's first single, and after its release it went to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song, and most of the album, was produced by Mark Wahlberg's brother, Donnie Wahlberg who is part of the group New Kids on the Block.
