No. 8: SWV
One of the few New Jack Swing-era R&B groups that was still thriving in the hip hop-soul dominated late 90s, Coco, Taj and LeeLee were one of the decades most successful R&B acts. The ladies put together a string of hits that saw them collaborating with a who’s-who of 90s hitmakers; including Teddy Riley, Missy Elliott, Puff Daddy and the then-unknown Pharrell Williams.
