TLC are a hugely successful R&B and hip-hop group that was formed in 1991. Originally called 2nd Nature, the group were founded in Atlanta, Georgia by Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Crystal Jones. Before signing to LaFace Records through a production deal with R&B singer Peri “Pebbles” Reid, the group’s name was changed to “TLC”, and Crystal Jones was replaced by Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.



One of the highest selling female groups of all time, TLC has sold approximately 45 million albums and singles worldwide as of November 2005. Their second album, 1994’s CrazySexyCool, was one of the first albums to be awarded diamond certification (10 million or higher) by the RIAA for over 11 million copies sold and is one of the best-selling R&B albums of all time. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time[1]. The group was just as well-known for their controversy as well as their success, from their use of condoms as fashion accessories in the early 1990s, to Left-Eye’s troubles with both the law and disputes with her groupmates.

Just before the release of TLC’s fourth LP, 3D (2002), Left Eye was killed in a car crash while on vacation in La Ceiba, Honduras. T-Boz and Chilli promoted 3D as a duo, and in 2005 hosted a reality television show, R U the Girl.
