Silk
Comprising Gary "Big G" Glenn, Gary "Little G" Jenkins, Jonathan Rasboro, Jimmy Gates Jnr. and Timothy Cameron, R&B vocal group Silk formed in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, in the early 90s. Their 1992 debut album, Lose Control, was a smooth collection of risqu contemporary soul songs produced by Keith Sweat; it quickly rose to number 1 on the Billboard Top R&B albums chart and sold nearly two million copies. It featured three US R&B Top 10 hits, including "Freak Me", which stayed at number 1 on the chart for eight weeks in 1993. Sweat had discovered the group and signed them to his own Keia label. However, with a view to extending their career beyond the confines of sexually suggestive material such as "Freak Me', the group left Sweat and moved to Elektra Records for 1995's self-titled second album. As well as three of their own songs, Silk included contributions from several top-flight R&B writers, plus renowned production teams including Dave Hall, Soul Shock and Gerald LeVert. A further lengthy gap between recordings ensued before Tonight was issued in 1999, but the quintet's attempt to update their sound to rival their urban contemporaries failed to satisfy the record-buying public. Following one more album for Elektra, Love Session, Silk relocated to the independent label Liquid 8 for whom they recorded 2003"s Silktime.
