So it all kinda started with SWV last week. I've gone into a 90s R&B music craze. I mean when you compare the music of today to the music then, it's great because people actually used to sing. Music was based on talent. And the songs, had more groove and soul to them.
Wells, I got this bright idea, to just talk about my favorite artists from the 90s, basically whatever I want to say about them. I would've start with SWV, but in my 90s crazed I came across, one of the greatest girls groups of the 90s:
EN VOGUE. so this first post will be about them.
A lil' history
(yes my main source is wikipedia, shoot me)
They were formed through auditions in 1988, which is surprising you would assume they were related, bestest friends, or somethin like all the other girl groups but they were not. The two guys (Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy) wanted to recreate girl groups from the 50s/60s, originally it was supposed to be a trio, but one of the girls was so great or something [lies, lies, lies].
But really the great thing about this group is that they all can sing lead, which provided for some really great harmonies, melodies in their songs. The original members of the group were Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson. Basically after one of their biggest song Don't Let Go Dawn left the group for contract issues. That was in 1996, since then they have worked as trio and quartet some time, because Maxine left to focus on her family, but then she came back. The replacement was this lady Rhona Bennett who you might have seen on the Jamie Foxx Show, the one that sang with Jamie and basically almost broke him and fancy up.
Anyhoo, He wasn't until recently that all four the original member were back together 2005, 2008 whichever reunion you want to count as legit. They are currently working on an album to be released this year, but Dawn won't be on it (WTF dawn?).
