Theme of the Month - Girlbands
The Braxtons originally started out in 1989, and comprised of Toni Braxton and her four sisters, Tamar, Trina, Towanda and Traci. The sisters only released one single as a fivesome, a song titled 'Good Life', but this wasn't a hit for them, and they were dropped by their record label.
However, Toni was offered a solo contract when Antonio 'L.A.' Reid and Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds started LaFace records, and Trina, Tamar and Towanda were given the chance to carry on as The Braxon's, Traci was unable to be part of the band as she was pregnant at the time.
'So Many Ways' released in August 1996 is the only album for the Braxtons, four singles were taken from it, the title track 'So Many Ways', 'Only Love', 'The Boss' and 'Slow Flow.
'The Boss' is a cover of Diana Ross' number one dance/disco hit single from 1979.
