speaking of TLC, why do I hear about Prince possibly a ghost writer on "Waterfalls".
Did TLC and Prince have any history/story together?

I know about the cover IIWYG (which is my fave Prince cover).
and did TLC cover "get it up" by the time?

People were talking about "Waterfall" by former Revolution members Wendy And Lisa.

Yep, it was a single, and it's on the Poetic Justice soundtrack (1993).

CinisterCee said:

That version is dull.

thesexofit said:

I had the cassingle for TLC's "Get It Up" which had 2 versions. You like TLC's other version?

Or ya don't care for TLC's remake at all?

CinisterCee said:

Its ok. It was just then typical dallis austin remake. Dallis did not seem to put much effort into it, as it was only a soundtrack song.

His best work is on ABC's debut "coolin' at the playground", which has dated alot, but is funky as hell.

Was there any truth to the Prince/Chili hookup?

I have never even heard the rumor.

CinisterCee said:

I used to hear the rumor quite often shortly after their Crazy Sexy Cool period. Just wondered if there was any truth to it.

sthom146 said:

she is nice. but nothing special (which ws part of the groups appeal)


Who did write "waterfalls"? I cannot be fucked to find my single to check? Wasn't pebbles was it?

CinisterCee said:

oh....

thesexofit said:

WATERFALLS
(Marqueze Etheridge, Lisa Lopes, Organized Confusion)

Background vocals by TLC, Thomas "Cee-Lo" Burton , Debra Killings.

CinisterCee said:

Who the fuck are they? Organized confusion? I know that ain't prince but errr who?

thesexofit said:

They produced tons of Atlanta area acts (including OutKast).

CinisterCee said:

oh.

I gather lisa wrote her rap I like it. Its stylised (like bobby browns was), even if I cant tell half the things she is saying.

thesexofit said:

Yep I remember the radio version didn't have her rap in it!

CinisterCee said:

how shitty. I look forward to her rap.

CinisterCee said:

.. travesty.

prodigalfan said:

dont blush u was right. it was a thread a while ago where someone was sayin they think p ghost wrote waterfalls 4 tlc and if the friggin search worked (hint, hint!!) i could get it 4 ya

some people have been talking for a long time about Prince writing waterfalls by tlc, i know in the area i live in, no one actually thinks that tlc or dallas austin wrote it.


everyone i know thinks it sounds like a Prince song.

Speaking of Waterfalls, did Paul McCartney even get any songwriting credit on that? I'm no big TLC fan, so I've never seen the liner notes.

CinisterCee said:

Thanks, Cee! I was guessing not, because it was just a line or two from his song, Waterfalls. Thanks for filling me in.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Ok would someone PLEASE tell me Paul M. is mentioned here. What did he have to do with Waterfalls by TLC?
thanks

Yes, Chilli and Prince did hook up. One of Left Eye's family members confirmed it after Left Eye's death.

prodigalfan said:

Did you take the time to read the post directly above yours? It would tell you why he was mentioned.

It was in Sister2Sister to mag right after Left Eye's death. P and Chilli dated for a while.

CinisterCee said:

Hey CinisterCee, thats Organized Noize, Organized Konfusion is a totally different group.

Well, you can at least tell that TLC was HEAVILY influenced by Prince during their CrazySexyCool period because Red Light Special sounds like a rip off of Blue Light on the Symbol album, they covered IIWYG, and Waterfalls is basically an updated version of the single Sign 'O' The Times. Prince also mentioned that he would have loved to have had them as a girl group right around that time.

I must have been thinking of Pharoahe Monch's old group:
