Timmy T.

Timmy T. (born Timmy Torres on September 21, 1967 in Fresno, California) is a Freestyle/dance performer and musician from the early 90s.

He started his music career in the 80s in small rap groups in his hometown of Fresno, but decided to switch to dance music.

Timmy bought a Moog synthesizer and a Roland TR-808 drum machine at a pawn shop and recorded his very first single "Time After Time" in his garage. He delivered copies of the single to a Fresno radio station, asking to play his single. After a DJ played his song, there were many requests about who sang the song.

After Los Angeles radio station Power 106 played Timmy's song, it started getting plenty of airplay throughout the country.

Timmy signed to Quality Records and "Time After Time" peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #23 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music\Maxi-Singles Sales chart in 1990.

In the same year, Timmy released his debut album, "Time After Time" which peaked at #46 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Timmy's second single, "What Will I Do" peaked at #96 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #35 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart.

Timmy's second single, "One More Try" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in March of 1991, becoming his biggest hit to date. It also peaked at #4 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.

The last single from the album, "Over and Over" was moderately successful, peaking at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1992, Timmy released his sophomore album "All For Love" which flopped. Throughout the early 90s, he toured all over the world and performed on various television shows.

Timmy faded out of the public eye so he could focus on raising his family. These days, he continues to tour around the country and frequently performs at Freestyle concerts.

She Moves

She Moves was a '90s pop\dance group consisting of members Carla Duren, Danielle Flora, and Diana Bologna.

The girls were all former New York Knicks City dancers. Danielle got her start as a dancer\host for the MTV show, "The Grind." Diana danced in music videos for artists such as Salt N' Pepa, Lil Kim, and Missy Elliott.

In 1997, music producers Berman Brothers formed She Moves after hearing Carla amaze the crowd with her version of the national anthem at Madison Square Garden before a playoff game.

In the summer of 1997, She Moves released their debut single, "Breaking All the Rules" which became the group's biggest and only hit song to date, peaking at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #16 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream chart.

In November of 1997, She Moves released their one and only debut album, "Breaking All the Rules."  It's unknown how or if the album made the charts at all.

Despite their hit single getting airplay on the radio, MTV and BET, sales for She Moves' debut album were not very good. In 1998, the group performed at the Miss USA pageant.
She Moves' second single, "It's Your Love" peaked at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #28 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream chart.

The song was later covered by country singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw which became successful on country radio.

The group's record label gave them another chance with their third single "Just For Tonight" which went nowhere on the charts. By 1999, the group was dropped from their record label.

These days, Danielle is a successful choreographer, Carla performed on Broadway & has a solo music career, releasing her debut solo album "BlackFolkRockStar" on CD Baby and Diana dabbles in acting.

Smooth

Smooth (born Juanita Stokes in Los Angeles, California) is an R&B singer\rapper from the early to mid '90s. She is the daughter of actress Irene Stokes and the younger sister of music executive Chris Stokes.

In 1990, Smooth released her debut album, "Smooth and Legit" under the name "MC Smooth." The album was produced by her brother, Chris and ex-NWA member Arabian Prince.

The album didn't generate enough buzz and it only peaked at #72 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart.

In 1993, Smooth released her second album, "You Been Played" which peaked at #77 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart.

The title song peaked at #54 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks. The song was also included in the "Menace II Society" movie soundtrack.

In 1995, Smooth released her third self-titled album. The album peaked at #35 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart and #17 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.

The first single, "Mind Blowin" peaked at #75 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #31 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 16 weeks. The song also peaked at #2 on the U.K. Singles chart.

It was well-received on radio and the music video received moderate airplay on MTV & BET and also received some controversy because of the raunchy nature of the song.

The second single, "It's Summertime (Let It Get Into U)" peaked at #46 on the U.K. Singles chart in July of 1995, staying on the chart for a week.

The third single, "Love Groove" peaked at #46 on the U.K. Singles chart in March of 1996, staying on the chart for a week.

The last single from the album, "Undercover Lover" peaked at #41 on the U.K. Singles chart in June of 1996, staying on the chart for a week.  

Smooth was also featured on R&B group Immature's song, "We Got It" which became a top 10 pop hit. After that, she left TNT\Jive Records and moved onto Perspective\A&M Records.

In 1996, Smooth released a promo single, "Love & Happiness" which peaked at #66 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 7 weeks.

In 1998, Smooth released her fourth album, "Reality" which peaked at #48 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart and #32 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.

The first single, "Strawberries" peaked at #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #17 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks.

The follow-up single, "He Thinks She Don't Know" flopped. Soon after, Perspective Records folded into its A&M parent and Smooth was cut from the roster.

In 2002, Smooth signed to her brother's record label, TUG Records and adopted a new stage name "Needa S." and began work on a new album called "What?"

The album was supposed to feature production by her brother, Platinum Status, Jermaine Dupri, Troy Taylor and Marques Houston along with guest appearances by Da Brat, Jhené, Marques Houston, B2K and Mila J.

Two promo singles were released in early 2003: "Sensitive" and "Baby's Mama," but after neither of the singles failed to make any impact on the chart, the album was shelved.

During late 2003 and early 2004, Smooth provided background vocals for music act TG4 and Jhené's unreleased debut albums. In 2006, she launched her official MySpace page, revealing a cancelled EP that was set to be released to generate further buzz for her "What?" album.

During that same year, Smooth was featured on Young Rome (a former member of Immature)'s track "Silly of Me." After that, not much has been heard from her lately and it appears that she has faded into obscurity.
