SWV

Sisters with Voices, better known as SWV, are an R&B, Grammy-nominated trio of black women from New York City. Formed in 1990 as a gospel group, SWV became one of the most successful R&B groups of the 1990s. They had a series of hits, including “Weak”, “Right Here/Human Nature”, “I’m So into You”, and “You’re the One”. The group disbanded in 1998 to pursue solo projects, and reunited in 2005 and continue to reunite to tour.

SWV (an abbreviation for Sisters With Voices) was formed by three friends: Cheryl Gamble, Tamara Johnson and Leanne Lyons (the founding member). After getting their demo together, the trio sent out demo tapes along with bottles of Perrier (“We couldn’t afford champagne,” says Taj) to catch the attention of record execs all over America. In 1991, after being invited to sing live in front of RCA honchos, SWV was signed to an eight-album record deal.

  2. SWV, TLC? Are you serious? I know chic’s on the block who will sing circles around them. Destiny’s Child? Same thing. En Vogue is barely making it. Salt n Pepa is a completely different genre.
