The ladies of TLC Tionne (Tboz) Watkins, R.I.P Lisa (Left Eye) Lopes, and Rozonda (Chili) Thomas are scheduled to air the bio pic story of the trios untold story of the making of TLC premiering tonight on VH1 9/8c. I felt inspired to write this particular blog due to my special connection with this group. I first met there former manager Perri (Pebbles) Reid at the age of 19 here in LA, while auditioning for her music video. It was there where I met 2/3 of the group, Tionne and Lisa. I had such a connection with Pebbles and the girls, That when it was time for Pebbles to take her show on the road, she didn't hesitate to call me up to go along for the ride.
One phone call, and then a 24 hour flight to Atlanta the very next day. Pebbles then married to music mogul LA Reid, Their guest house soon became the residence for me and new room mate Lisa Lopez. Pebbles, Tionne, and Lisa soon became my family away from home. Not only did I fall in love with the Georgia Peach State, intense rehearsing for a major tour, the addition of Rozonda (Chili) Thomas to being in the studio of TLC's first album being recorded, witnessing history in the making.

People think that pebbles did these girls wrong. Most people don't realzie that Pebbles invested all of her money into them. They were working at places like hot dog on a stick. Because of Pebbles they were able to see the world. Music was the catalyst to create other ancillary income.
