TLC began their claim to fame in the early 1990s and comprised of members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. The high-spirited, vibrant, multi-colored wearing trio from Atlanta, GA released their debut album, Ooooooohhh… On the TLC Tip in 1992, with the hit songs "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg", "What About Your Friends" and "Baby Baby Baby". Their sophomore release, 1994's CrazySexyCool resulted in 4 chart-topping singles "Creep", "Red Light Special", "Diggin on You", and "Waterfalls", multiple awards for the band including 2 Grammy Awards and 4 MTV Video Music Awards and sold over 11 million records. 1999's Fanmail brought more success for the band with the hit female anthem "No Scrubs" and "Unpretty" and with that came 3 more Grammys.
Despite the tragic loss of their beloved group member Left Eye in 2002, T-Boz and Chilli have continued the legacy of TLC both as a group and individually. Later in 2002 the duo released the group's 4th album, 3D which featured songs with Left Eye's raps. In 2005, T-Boz and Chilli starred in their own reality TV show, "R U the Girl", which went in search of one lucky fan to record a new song and perform alongside them. A few years down the road in 2009, T-Boz went on to become a contestant on Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice".
