There’s all of this talk about Naturi Naughton, the actress/singer who is appearing in the remake to the classic, Fame, but die-hard fans of early 2000′s pop will remember Naturi as one third of the girl group 3LW.
3LW — or Three Little Women, not just a moniker they went with because they were young, but because they’re all petite in stature — included Naughton, and singers Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams, who are known more today as former Cheetah Girls than anything else.
The group followed the Destiny’s Child route to their semi-stardom: tell the world you’re close like sister, release catchy songs, dance great, look even greater; and perhaps thought they would mirror DC’s post-member change rise when they decided to dismiss Naughton from the group after the release of only two album as a trio. The dismissal included things as silly as a KFC food fight, to accusations of discrimination against Naughton’s dark complexion.
So now that Naturi is having the last laugh, lets remember her launching pad. Take a look at 3LW’s biggest hit, “Playas Gon’ Play” from their self-titled debut album.
