TLC

Biography

TLC is an American R&B band formed in 1991. The title of the outfit came from the first letters of the names of the participants: T-Boz (Tionne Watkins), Left Eye (Lisa Lopes) and Chilli (Rozonda Thomas). It was decided that the duty of the group’s leader would be taken by Tionne Watkins. TLC began working on their first long player in the LaFace studio in summer 1991. It was issued early in 1992 under the title Ooooooohhh On The TLC Tip. Tionne did the vocals, Lisa wrote the lyrics and Rozonda arranged the choreography. The sexy style of the new artists along with their catchy music including rap elements performed by Lisa, brought the high sales and good reviews. The success was consolidated by the strong video for the single Ain’t Too Proud To Beg. This one and two other singles, What About Your Friends, and Baby, Baby, Baby went platinum. In March 1992 Tionne’s long concealed blood anemia was discovered. The doctors urged TLC to reduce the concert schedule in order to avoid possible complications which the band immediately did.
