With their 1992 debut, It's About Time, the all-female modern jack swing trinity SWV scored a string of Top Ten R&B hits that established them as unitary of the to the highest degree popular urban R&B groups of the '90s. SWV (their list is an acronym for Sisters with Voices) is comprised of triad schoolhouse friends: Coko (born Cheryl Gamble), Taj (born Tamara Johnson), and Lelee (born Leanne Lyons). All triad vocalists american ginseng in church building as children, which is where they learned how to harmonise. A demonstration tape the grouping assembled caught the attention of producer Teddy Riley, a previous member of Guy and arguably the padre of young jack sweep. Prior to SWV, Riley helped show the careers of Jodeci and Mary J. Blige. Riley's luck didn't wear out with SWV -- he helped the chemical group craft their debut, It's About Time, which went double platinum within its start year of release.


The release of It's About Time was preceded by "Right Here" in the accrue of 1992. The single reached number 13 on the R&B charts, just it was the number two pip, "I'm So Into You," that established the threesome as a commercial effect early in 1993. It was followed by two number one R&B singles in a row: "Weak" and "Correct Here/Human Nature," a remix of their first single that featured samples of Michael Jackson's hit "Human Nature." "Weak" besides hit number one on the pop charts; "Right Here/Human Nature" reached identification number two on the pop charts. One other Top Ten R&B hit from It's About Time, "Forever on My Mind," followed late in 1993. "Anything," SWV's donation to the soundtrack for To a higher place the Rim, became a Top Ten R&B hit in the spring of 1994. Also in the saltation of 1994, SWV released The Remixes, which went gold by the end of the year. In the summer of 1995, the threesome lententide outspoken harmonies to Blackstreet's Top 40 R&B hit "Tonight's the Night." In 1996, SWV returned with New Beginning, which was preceded by the identification number one R&B hit "You're the One." Expiration Some Tension followed in 1997, and two old age later the group's past successes were recalled on their Sterling Hits.
