The Behind the Music Tales book series will be introducing a new book titled, The Evolution of Funk, Rhythm, & Soul 1.0 that features a 1995 interview with T-Boz.
A portion of the interview was previously released by Harris Rosen in the Canadian pop culture and lifestyle magazine Peace!
According to Rosen, who spoke with us at TLC Army, the full interview including some previously unreleased sections will be included in the upcoming book. The book also features interviews with George Clinton, Bobby Brown, and Erykah Badu.
The e-book will be available for free online with the option to purchase a printed version.
Harris was kind enough to provide the TLC Army with an exclusive excerpt from the upcoming book.
T-Boz spoke on the trials and tribulations of her early life growing up as a light skin girl in the South and her first hand experiences with racism and prejudice.
She also touched on her deep connection with Chilli and Left-Eye.
“It’s almost funny because some people for some reason just click and it seems as if they’ve known each other forever. I swear, it seems these four years seem like ten. We’re probably closer to each other than people we’ve known longer than we knew each other.”
Striving to succeed as a person in business and life, at the time she was assisting her record label, La Face, by working to develop groups and even choreographed a young Usher.
T-Boz discussed single life and what she was looking for in a man; the changes in her life since success hit; the group’s cover of Prince’s “If I was your Girlfriend”, the effect of L.A. Reid and Babyface on the Atlanta music scene, recent controversial issues experienced by Left-Eye, and what made TLC stand out.
“I really wouldn’t say there is a group out like us. For one thing, we’ve been trendsetters with the way we dress, and the things we talk about. The success we’ve had coming across with safe sex and the things we’ve chosen to talk about.
We’ve made a difference in a lot of people’s lives. I’m serious about what I talk about. But it does make me feel good to make people smile. I put out music for whoever wants to accept it.
I didn’t know dressing as I dress people were gonna want to follow, and I didn’t know I was gonna become a role model, but now that I have I’m cool with it.”
The book does not have an official release date, but once that information is known, we will post an update!

TLC’s Way Back is starting to get the attention of radio stations everywhere, such as Star 94.7 who tweeted the following this morning:
The Spinoff, an online magazine based in New Zealand, has announced their Songs of the Week for May 1 and included Way Back as #4 on the list.
TLC were set to call it a day after the release of their fourth album 3D (and the passing of founding member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes), but instead they decided to hang in there as a duo, still actively touring and eventually using kickstarter to help fund an as yet untitled farewell album set to arrive in June 2017. Lead single ‘Way Back’ signposts the extent of the ambitions that surviving members Rozonda Thomas and Tionne Watkins for the record; it’s an unashamed throwback to the mid-’90s, a new jack swing track which could have been released on La Face around 1996, right down to Snoop Dogg popping up for a smooth cameo. The lyrics call out Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye, and it would all threaten to get a bit too high on its own nostalgia if it wasn’t such an ebullient and unabashedly good time. In the end it is a perfectly fitting way for the greatest girl group of the ‘90s to kick off their long-deserved victory lap. – Pete Douglas
