R&B quartet En Vogue is one of most successful female groups of all-time and was ranked the 18th most successful act of the 1990s by Billboard. Their seven MTV Video Music Awards is more than any other female group in history. En Vogue dominated the Billboard R&B charts throughout the ‘90s with the anthems “Don’t Let Go (Love),” “Whatta Man,” “Free Your Mind,” “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Going to Get It),” and “Hold On.”
Three-time Grammy Award nominee Eric Benet made his solo debut with 1996’s True to Myself. Three years later came A Day In The Life, which contained the single "Spend My Life with You."
