Cindy Herron is stunning. Terry Ellis has an incredible voice. Maxine brought the grit and Dawn brought the edge in her look and voice.

_Born to Sing, _ overall was a hit. You really couldn't go wrong w/ any of the selections. My older cousins and I made so many steps to y'all songs, ladies. That album introduced me into music. I was like 4 or 5 when it came out.

The 1990s, my era!!! When I think of essential artists of the 1990s, specifically year 1990, En Vogue was such a pivotal group to that era. That accapella piece in the front of Hold On was such a game changer, it came to shape and influence all vocal female R&B groups, thereafter [SWV, Xscape, Jade, Brownstone, 702] ..even male counterparts, BoyzIIMen were often describe as the male version of En Vogue. And although TLC and Destiny's Child experienced greater commercial success, EV's vocal blend was simply magic, and became the bar to which all in their lane aspired to. They put vocals and tight harmonies on the map like no other R&B group. En Vogue is to female R&B groups, what Whitney is to female vocalist. They are considered the pinnacle by most. If you remove them from the picture, and the R&B landscape drastically changes.

So interesting to hear that the label didn't think that Hold On would be a hit. They were very wrong. I wish they would reunite and tour as EV5 for the 30th anniversary.

Y'all are the best and fine as hell

Thirty years. Can't believe it. Shout out to these beautiful sistas man. To me, they're the best vocally sounding female singing group...period. Singing and harmonizing was off the charts. And, coming into the 90's, they were only one of the few female groups not to succumb to the proselytized "tomboyish" look that was so prevalent then. They were the very true definition of women what should be.

I still jam these beautiful Sistas songs and love it.

How on earth do they still look so young

[itsnoahonfire]

Rhona sitting there like "I was in middle school when that song came out so don't ask me no questions" LOL

Rhino/Atlantic needs to update Born to Sing's RIAA certification to, at least, double platinum.

I was 14 years old when Born To Sing came out
