About Destiny's Child
Destiny's Child rose to become one of the most popular female R&B
groups of the late '90s, eventually rivaling even TLC in terms of
blockbuster commercial success. Their accomplishments came in spite of
several abrupt personnel changes, which were accompanied by heated,
well-publicized feuds in the media and the courts. In fact, for a
time, Destiny's Child was known for that drama just as much as their
music. Once the group stabilized again, though, they emerged with even
more hit making power than ever before.
Destiny's Child was formed in Houston, TX, in 1990, when original
members Beyonc? Knowles and LaTavia Roberson were just nine years old;
the two met at an audition and became friends, and Knowles' father
Mathew set about developing an act based on their singing and rapping,
taking their name from a passage in the Book of Isaiah. Beyonc?'s
cousin Kelendria "Kelly" Rowland joined the group in 1992, and shortly
thereafter they landed an appearance on Star Search, where they
performed a rap song. The quartet's lineup was finalized (for the time
being) when LeToya Luckett joined in 1993, and they spent the next few
years working their way up from the Houston club scene, eventually
opening for artists like SWV, Dru Hill, and Immature. Finally, in
1997, Destiny's Child was offered a recording contract by Columbia.
The group made its recorded debut on 1997's "Killing Time," a song
included on the soundtrack of the blockbuster Men in Black. Their
self-titled debut album was released in early 1998, featuring
production by Wyclef Jean and Jermaine Dupri, among others. Its lead
single, the Jean-produced "No No No," was a smash hit, selling over a
million copies and topping the R&B charts. The follow-up singles --
"With Me" and "Get on the Bus," the latter of which was taken from the
soundtrack of Why Do Fools Fall in Love? -- didn't quite duplicate the
success of "No No No," although Destiny's Child would eventually go
platinum (after the group's later success). Destiny's Child re-entered
the studio quickly, bringing in producer Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs to
handle the majority of their next record. Lead single "Bills, Bills,
Bills" became the group's first number one pop hit (and second R&B
number one) in the summer of 1999, and paced by its success, the
accompanying album, The Writing's on the Wall, entered the charts at
number six upon its release.

That was just the beginning of the group's breakout success. The
second single, "Bug a Boo," didn't perform as well, but the third
single, "Say My Name," was another massive hit, their biggest so far;
it hit number one on both the pop and R&B charts for three weeks
apiece in early 2000, and made Destiny's Child a pop-cultural
phenomenon. However, at the peak of Say My Name's popularity, the
group splintered. In December 1999, Roberson and Luckett attempted to
split with manager Mathew Knowles, charging that he kept a
disproportionate share of the band's profits, attempted to exert too
much control, and unfairly favored his daughter and niece. While they
never intended to leave the group, relations naturally grew strained,
and when the video for "Say My Name" premiered in February 2000, many
fans (not to mention Roberson and Luckett) were surprised to find two
new members -- Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin -- joining
Knowles and Rowland. Infuriated, Roberson and Luckett took legal
action in March, suing both Knowles and their former band mates for
breach of partnership and fiduciary duties. A war of words followed in
the press; meanwhile, the next Destiny's Child single, "Jumpin' Jumpin',"
hit the Top Ten, and The Writing's on the Wall went on to sell a
whopping eight million copies.
The personnel-turnover drama still wasn't over; in July 2000, just
five months after joining, Farrah Franklin split with the group. The
official reason was that Franklin missed several promotional
appearances and concert gigs, although in later interviews she spoke
of too much negativity and too little control in the group
environment. Now reduced to a trio, Destiny's Child was tapped to
record the theme song for the film version of Charlie's Angels;
released as a single in October, "Independent Women, Pt. 1" raced up
the charts and spent an astounding 11 weeks at number one. Destiny's
Child were now indisputable superstars, the biggest female R&B group
on the scene, and they quickly began work on a new album to
capitalize. In the meantime, toward the end of 2000, Roberson and
Luckett dropped the portion of their lawsuit aimed at Rowland and
Knowles in exchange for a settlement, though they continued to pursue
action against Knowles' father; as part of the agreement, both sides
were prohibited from ripping each other publicly.
Beyonc? had long since emerged as the group's focal point, and on the
third Destiny's Child album, she assumed more control than ever
before, taking a greater hand in writing the material and even
producing some of the record herself. While recording sessions were
going on, Rowland released the first Destiny's Child solo track;
"Angel" appeared on the soundtrack of Chris Rock's Down to Earth.
Former members Roberson and Luckett also announced the formation of a
trio called, coincidentally, Angel, and Farrah Franklin set about
starting a solo career.
Survivor -- whose title was reportedly inspired by a DJ's crack about
Destiny's Child members voting one another off the island, much like
the popular CBS reality series -- hit stores in the spring of 2001,
and entered the charts at number one. The first two singles,
"Survivor" and "Bootylicious," were predictably huge hits, with the
latter becoming the group's fourth number one pop single. A cover of
Andy Gibb's "Emotion" was also successful, albeit less so, and
Survivor sold well -- over four million copies -- but not as well as
its predecessor. Toward the end of the year, the group released a
holiday album, 8 Days of Christmas, and announced plans for a series
of side projects, including solo albums from all three members (to be
staggered over the next year and a half, so as to avoid competition).
In early 2002, shortly after This Is the Remix was released to tide
fans over, Roberson and Luckett sued the group again, claiming that
some of the lyrics in "Survivor" made reference to them (in violation
of the earlier lawsuit settlement). Meanwhile, the first Destiny's
Child solo album was released in April; Michelle Williams' all-gospel
project Heart to Yours, which featured a duet with gospel legend
Shirley Caesar. Meanwhile, Beyonc? won a leading role opposite Mike
Myers in the third Austin Powers film, Goldmember, playing
blaxploitation-style heroine Foxy Cleopatra; her first solo single,
the Neptunes-produced "Work It Out," appeared on the soundtrack.
