that late-80's thing that people say Luther never really achieved.

Pebbles first hit "Girlfriend" was very big with the suburban white kids I was around in the late 80's (I moved to the suburbs in my 11th grade school year).

Then follow up hits like "Mercedes boy" and "take your time" were very big with R&b radio (not too sure how much "Girlfriend" was big with R&B radio, but pop audiences loved "Girlfriend")

Pebbles was big with the Babyface LA Reid scene. Pebbles was the person who gave Babyface the idea for the song "Whip appeal" because Pebbles brought up the phrase: "she got him whipped" while she was in the studio with Babyface talking about some guy infatuated with some lady.

Pebbles was interviewed on Arsenio show a couple of times late 80's early 90's. Then her 2nd album was released and it had some hits like "backyard", "giving you the benefit" and "always" that were big with R&B radio and it seemed like she made a good sophmore album, not a fall-off situation.

Then..........Pebbles married LA Reid, and......seemed like....that wasn't good for her career.

Not even sure she did a 3rd album.

Yet, she was working with TLC but now it is known she and LA weren't too "together" while she was getting TLC off the ground (I say this because LA supposedly didn't know how "bad" Pebbles contracts with TLC were around then) so.........

Between working with TLC and marrying LA Reid that seemed to be it for Pebbles musical career.

She is now a preacher.
