The sisters of R&B singer
Jesse Powell, urban duo
Trina and
Tamara hailed from Gary, IN. The Powells relocated to Philadelphia in 1983, and there all four siblings -- as well as their mother Emerald -- performed in the family group Sheer Joy. When
Jesse headed for Los Angeles in 1990,
Trina and
Tamara followed, and established themselves as session vocalists. As members of the group
Somethin' for the People, the sisters also scored a hit in 1997 with "My Love Is the Shhh.." Signing to Columbia, the duo released their self-titled debut album in 1999. ~ Jason Ankeny
