One of my all time favorite girl groups is Total. My pre-teens and teeanage years were filled with their racy lyrics, one of a kind collaborations and long lasting, transcending through time tracks.
In the midst of a R&B dominated era, the New Jersey natives stood out by collaborating with artists including Notorious B.I.G., Foxy Brown and LL Cool J. Besides lending there spicy voices to big name artist, the girls managed to squeeze out a few hits singles themselves including “Kissin’ You,” “Can’t You See” and “Sittin Home,” and peaked at RIAA’s certified platinum status.
As quickly as they came they left, leaving fans wondering what happened to the Bad Boy threesome. Reports and interviews surface every now and then about the ladies and what they are doing. After watching one of their hit singles “Kissing You” scroll down to find out for yourself to see what the ladies are up to and check out a bonus throwback track.

Long still speaks of her fellow Total cohorts and previously broke down the group’s breakup with IMissTheOldSchool.com this way; “I wasn’t happy with me.

At the time it was one of the worst things that happened with me.” Long is on social media under her @PamelaLong1 Twitter handle
