Sou-D-Out Artist Salute; TLC

TLC is an American musical trio whose repertoire spanned R&B, hip-hop, soul, funk, and new jack swing. Originally consisting of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and singer Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, they found unprecedented success in the 1990s not only as a musical group but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which, helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span. Lopes originally wanted to withdraw from the group in order to see if they could duplicate their prior success without her contributions. Lopes eventually pursued solo stardom and recorded her first album Supernova, however it underperformed overseas and was never released in the United States. Before her second solo album was completed, Lopes died in a car crash while filming a personal documentary in Honduras.
