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 best selling girl groups of all time, 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 10 million copies. 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, 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.

A documentary on the final 26 days of Lopes' life, entitled The Last Days of Left Eye premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival in April 2007, for an audience that included many of Lopes contemporaries, such as Monica, Ronnie DeVoe of New Edition, 112, Big Boi, Rico Wade, India.Arie and Cee-Lo.[15] VH1 and VH1 Soul broadcasted the documentary on May 19, 2007. Much of the footage was shot with a hand-held camera, often in the form of diary entries filmed by Lopes while on a 30 day spiritual retreat in Honduras with family and members of the R&B group Egypt.[16] In these entries she reflected on her personal life and career. The high-energy performer revealed a calmer side, with interests in numerology and yoga. She was in the process of setting up an educational center for Honduran children on 80 acres of land she owned.[17]. Eerily, the film also captured a car accident that she was involved in during filming, which killed a Honduran child with the surname Lopez. Lopes is shown in a local funeral home choosing a casket for the child. In the documentary, Lopes mentioned that she feels the presence of an "evil spirit" following her [18]. Sadly, the program also showed the last minutes of Lopes' life, including her swerving off the road

TLC is the best!!I love them so much :wub: their music is so fun and unique :happy: def my fave group ever.I saw the Lisa doc several times,it's very sad :( it really gives a good insight on her and she was not how the media portrayed her at all.
 
nothing but LOVE LOVE LOVE for TLC

theres an amazing compilation video of MJ's sexy dance moves and its set to REd Light Special ...its so sexy........
 
Not gonna lie, I start to miss Left Eye everytime someone brings up TLC. She had so much life and character that just to see her in an interview was generally fun. Even when she performed, there was an energy there that always made TLC complete. Even though Left Eye is one of a kind, more girl groups need at least one member like her, because if anyone else were in TLC, they would have been no different from the other girl groups who were out at the time.
 
They are so amazing. I just love how they all had their own individual styles and factors that made the group what it was. They worked so well together, and I miss them so much. I love their albums, and they always put effort in to make their performances entertaining.
Their voices were unique and they gelled together so well. Lisa was a gifted person, she had alot of spiritual beliefs for the world and her career. Joseph Jackson did a few charity events for her charity The Lisa Lopes Foundation.

I love TLC and along with most of the 90's female groups they were the best. Every member from TLC had their own style that made the group what it was. When you looked at TLC or listened to them they ALL had a part or a input in everything they did. It wasn't JUST chilli, it wasn't JUST T boz etc. Everybody did something with their talent and brought it to the group and that is what I most appreciate. I also appreciate the fact that even though they were a "popular" r&b group most of their songs were positive and exactly had meanings for women, young girls and people in general. They didn't fall into the commercialism and lose where they came from. They all were very much down to earth. There style also represented what "real everyday" females wore and thought about in their outfits and songs. R.I.P. Lisa
