Multi-platinum, GRAMMY, MTV Music Video, Soul Train Music, and Billboard Music Award-winning R & B artists — and the best-selling girl group of all time — TLC, will groove onto the Corona Grandstand Stage as part of the San Diego County Fair's Toyota Summer Concert Series. The Atlanta-based trio, contemporary R & B and hip-hop/new jack swing duo, who originally punched their ticket to success in the early 1990s, was made up of original members, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. As the Billboard magazine’s number 12 on the list of 100 Greatest Women in Music, the group has amassed nine top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four number-one singles: “Creep," “Waterfalls," "No Scrubs,” and “Unpretty.” Having sold over 65 million records worldwide, TLC also recorded four multi-platinum albums, including "CrazySexyCool" in 1994, which received a diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Following Lopes's death in 2002, instead of replacing her, the remaining members chose to continue as a duo.
