SWV

est. 1988

New York

R&B group

Cheryl "Coko" Gamble, Leanne "LeeLee" Lyons, and Tamara "Taj" Johnson are the voices behind this widely-known group of the '90s. Their most famous song, "Right Here," boasts commercial success as one of the longest-running singles of 1993 and household acclaim as a go-to cookout song.

SWV seamlessly combines rap with R&B, bringing a fresh new sound to the early '90s. With 25 million records sold, we can add them to the list of one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.

Extra goodie: Coko lent her voice on the Grammy-winning song Men In Black. 

  • “I feel like every Black person chooses to sing “Weak” to prove to their friends that they can sing.”
