En Vogue Mini Biography

En Vogue is a Grammy nominated American female R&B vocal quartet assembled by music producers Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy. To date, En Vogue has sold over twenty million albums and singles worldwide. They have won more MTV Video Music Awards than any other female group in MTV history, a total of seven. According to Billboard Magazine they were the eighteenth most successful act of the 1990s. The band has spent over 2800 weeks on various Billboard charts.

Assembled in Oakland, California in 1988, the original members are Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones, Dawn Robinson and Terry Ellis. The inspiration behind the group came when the production duo of Foster and McElroy sought to put together a modern-day girl group in the tradition of past girl groups of the 1950s and 1960s. Looking for singers with strong voices, who looked salacious and were also intelligent, auditions were held, resulting in Herron, Jones, Robinson making the final cut.[5] Like previous girl groups, the plan was to have a trio but after hearing Ellis audition, they decided to make it a quartet. Prior to the group's official name, they were primarily called "For You." They shifted to "Vogue," but ultimately settled on En Vogue, upon learning that another group had already claimed that name.
