Artist description
T-Boz, Left-Eye and Chilli are the women of TLC.
They stand alone, a trio of female pioneers who have
demonstrated an uncanny ability to bridge the gap
between rap, hip hop, pop and soul. No followers of
fashion, but leaders of their generation who push the
envelope in music, image and style. Out front, no
stranger to controversy, the three young women who
compose the best-selling female group in music
history are always looking ahead, creating a new level
of growth and accomplishment. With the release of
their third album, "FanMail", T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli
use the cutting-edge approach that has taken TLC to
international recognition.

Artist history:
TLC literally burst on the music scene in 1992 with
two consecutive Top 3 platinum singles, "Ain't Too
Proud to Beg" and "Baby, Baby, Baby" and the gold
single "What About Your Friends." All three tracks
helped propel their LaFace debut "Oooooooohhh! On
The TLC Tip!" to the top of the charts, selling 3 million in the process. However, it was the 1994
follow-up, "CrazySexyCool" that broke wide open.
Working with producers such as Austin, Dupri, Sean
"Puffy" Combs and Organized Noize, TLC delivered a
record that set them apart from all other female
groups of the day. The first single, "Creep" was
another platinum smash, staying at the top of the pop
and R&B charts for weeks on end. The second single,
Babyface's "Red Light Special", was another major hit,
while the hypnotic "Waterfalls" was platinum-plus that
also topped Billboard's pop and R&B charts. The
million-dollar high-tech video for the song (which dealt
with how a mother copes with her son's drug dealing
and how AIDS has become a part of the daily lives of
countless people everywhere) garnered no less than
four MTV Music Video Awards.
