Tracing the music careers of TLC and Shaggy
Both TLC and Shaggy achieved success in the 1990s and early 2000s. While they have different musical styles and backgrounds, they have both made significant contributions to the music industry.
TLC, an acronym for T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili, was part of a female R&B group formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1990. The group's members were Tionne T-Boz Watkins, Lisa Left Eye Lopes, and Rozonda Chili Thomas.
In 1994, TLC released their album, CrazySexyCool, which became their breakthrough album. It featured hit singles such as Creep, Waterfalls, and Red Light Special. The album sold over 11 million copies in the United States alone and won two Grammy Awards.
The group's third album, FanMail, was released in 1999 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The album featured hit singles No Scrubs and Unpretty. In 2002, Lopes passed away in a car crash and the remaining members decided to continue TLC as a duo.
Shaggy, aka Orville Richard Burrell, is a Jamaican-American reggae singer born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1968. He moved to Brooklyn, New York, when he was 18 and later joined the United States Marine Corps. He began his music career in the late 1980s, and in 1993, he released his debut album, Pure Pleasure, which did not gain much commercial success.
In 1995, Shaggy released his second album, Boombastic, which featured a hit single of the same name. The album sold over one million copies in the United States and won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
