Destiny's Child
Destiny's Child was an American girl group formed in Houston, Texas, in 1990. Its final lineup comprised Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Known for their vocal harmonies, stage performances, and themes of female empowerment, Destiny's Child is regarded as one of the most influential girl groups in popular music. They are credited with helping shape the sound of late-1990s and early-2000s R&B and are considered pioneers of the 1990s girl group resurgence.
The group began their musical career as Girl's Tyme. After years of limited success, the original quartet—Beyoncé, Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett—were signed to Columbia Records in 1997 as Destiny's Child. After gaining recognition with the single "No, No, No", they released their best-selling second album, The Writing's on the Wall (1999). It spawned the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name". Despite critical and commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil, as Roberson and Luckett attempted to split from the group's manager, Mathew Knowles, due to his favoritism of Beyoncé and Rowland.
