En Vogue was conceived and put together by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, both former members of Club Nouveau. The two held auditions and settled on former Miss Black California Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones, Dawn Robinson and Terry Ellis. The new group performed two songs on Foster and McElroy's FM2 album, and the producers crafted an image for them as stylish, sophisticated, and sexy. En Vogue's debut album, Born to Sing, appeared in 1990 and launched the pop crossover smash "Hold On," which peaked at number two and helped the album go platinum. When En Vogue returned in 1992 with Funky Divas, critical and commercial response was overwhelming. The first three singles -- "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)," "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" (both covers of songs written by Curtis Mayfield), and "Free Your Mind" -- reached the Top Ten, and the album went multi-platinum. En Vogue were back in the Top Ten in 1993, backing Salt-N-Pepa on their hit "Whatta Man." "Don't Let Go (Love)" became a number two single in 1997. The group released Soul Flower in early 2004 on 33rd Street Records. In 2010, En Vogue released Don't Let Go: The Very Best of En Vogue. The group continues to croon around the world.
