Fans of the crazy Lisa, sexy Chilli & cool T-Boz! We miss you, Lisa!

TLC was an American music group, whose repertoire spanned R&B, hip hop and pop. Originally known as 2nd Nature, the group was formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1991 by Crystal Jones, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. Before signing to LaFace Records through a production deal with R&B singer Perri "Pebbles" Reid, the group's name was changed to "TLC", and soon after Crystal Jones was replaced by Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas.

One of the most successful girl groups of all time, with Spice Girls and Destiny's Child, TLC has sold over 45 million records worldwide. Their second album, CrazySexyCool (1994), was one of the first albums to be awarded diamond certification by the RIAA for selling over 11 million copies. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time. 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, 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. The grand prize for R U the Girl, won by Tiffany "O'so Krispie" Baker, was a chance to record a song and perform once in concert with T-Boz and Chilli.

Rozonda Thomas has signed with New York-based publicity firm WeRoqq, represented by Josie Zohny. One of its tracks, "Gameproof", recently leaked onto the internet against WeRoqq's permission, but Chilli appreciates the fact that buzz on the track has been mainly favorable.In February 2007, Chilli's song, "Straight Jack", was included on a mixtape, and her first single was titled "Glidin'", but was then changed "Gameproof" and is now "Dumb Dumb Dumb".
