Pebbles also wrote the song "Red light special" for TLC, relating to her former days as a streetwalker. I don't believe she's ashamed of it either. I saw her recently on a gospel station hollering and shouting about how good god has been. Natalie Cole was on there with her. It was interesting to watch. I hope this girl is sincere and ain't rippin people off like she did TLC! I hope she truly has changed.


Was she really? eek
Damn she really was FFT long before cassie and rihanna.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

If you can co-write a masterpiece like Whip Appeal, you can do damn-near anything.


Come on now. That doesn't give anyone license to be greedy. Her involvement with TLC was deplorable.

To be honest I don't think she did anything that wasn't standard practice in the music business. shrug

Yeah Pebbles use to be something else. She was once know for her street skills as a hooker back in Oakland, Ca. before she her singing career. I am glad she is doing something positive now.



I've heard many a "Pebbles was a Ho" tales. nod Wasn't she just coming off some married man's jock when she met LA Reid?

Oh Lawd, ya'll spillin EVERY bean huh??? lol

I could never get into Pebbles. I think this was L.A.'s and Babyface's attempt to make Pebbles the next Janet as we can see from the Soul Train vid. The Deele couldn't even hold the Time's jock strap. lol

His name was Rudy Houston and apparently as of 2008 he's still alive and living as a woman. He answered some message board on youtube:

No they couldn't. I liked the deele's first album which was real
good and the second was just okay. The third album is when they
got soft and became adult contemporary. That was the beginning
of the end for the deele. L.A and Face basically pulled a lionel
richie on the rest of their bandmates. lol

I remember someone posting that not too long ago. That guy, Rudy, really was messed up in the head. The video of him on the show was on youtube. I'll see if I can find it.

Not only that but the artist were the idiots who signed the contracts. They all filed bankruptcy to get out of their contracts and moved on...why folks take this sh*t personal and hold grudges is beyond me.

Now, if you got someone like Lou Perlman molesting kids during the process, well, that's something else.

I don't get it either. If you sign a contract without legal counsel then who's the fool? That's one thing about some stage momagers, if they have a lick of sense they protect their kids interests to the death. That's why you'll never hear of Brandy or Usher going broke because their mothers weren't playing.
