Destiny's Child

Destiny's Child was an American girl group formed in Houston, Texas, in 1990. Through the contributions of its principal members—Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and original members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett—the group is regarded as one of the most influential girl groups in popular music. Known for their vocal harmonies, stage performances, and themes of female empowerment, Destiny's Child played a central role in the girl group resurgence of the 1990s and the emergence of rap-singing, while helping shape contemporary R&B. Starting their musical career as Girl's Tyme, the original quartet—Beyoncé, Rowland, Roberson, and Luckett—were signed to Columbia Records in 1996 as Destiny's Child, gaining recognition with the single "No, No, No". They then released their best-selling album, The Writing's on the Wall, which spawned the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name". Despite critical and commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil, as Roberson and Luckett attempted to split from the group's manager, Mathew Knowles, due to his favoritism of his daughter Beyoncé and Rowland.
