That's insane. I dont think I've ever heard a story close to a artist having a US billboard hot 100 number 1 hit, let alone their debut single and not be able to release a second album ever.
Funny how I still listen to the Divine song lately to this day!! I remember me, my cousin, and a childhood friend would dress up and sing to this song pretending to be them. Those were definitely the good old days!!
Tonia , is a sweetheart ❤ 💕 💖 One Night as we was working a coworker had recognized her. Lord she can blow , to keep our mouth closed about who she was . lol so song for us . A beautiful soul 💞💞🤞
This channel has earned itself a new subscriber, this is some memory lane for ya soul. Edit: Their song, Lately, was written by the late Christopher Kelly from Kris Kross
I had no idea. I knew he wrote a song for Da Brat, but that’s it. Too bad, because he seemed like he was multitalented. I wish he could’ve gotten he P for his addiction.
Great video sis! Divine are talented period!!! R&b girl groups need to come back asap! It will happen again I know for sure. I have empathy what they went through. The music industry isn't a joke. However, I'm glad their still known. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Divine's fame was much too short-lived. Now that it's 2023, I'd love for them to do a 25th-anniversary project of some kind and shows in honor of "Lately." That single hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 the week of 11/28/98, bumping "Doo Wop (That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill from the top! It has the distinction of being the last hit to reach the top before Billboard magazine stopped requiring that songs have a physical release to chart on the Hot 100 and most other singles charts.
Wow, talk about a blast from the past! I loved their song lately, but everyone in my family thought I didn't because I cried every time I heard the song. LOL!😂
I'm in love with your gift of suspense "It was a beautiful day, but beauty quickly turned ugly and left everyone wondering what happened next..." I be like yaassss😅😅
I never heard of these ladies but I am so upset that they had to go through so much stuff, it seems like the music industry destroys people if there not working with the right team. I wish all these ladies nothing but luck .
i always loved that song when i was younger but i never knew it went #1 on billboard. learning about the issues with the group name sucks. The business side of the music industry is disheartening
Great video these ladies definitely reminded me of the group mariah carey had under label also during that time also they sorta have the same image they had to be honest I think the group name was allure and they sing that song all cried out hope I'm right great video
eBay thanks you because the way you have me remembering these classic hit albums!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Lol! Thank you for your content and I seriously do go on the hunt for them 😎
Yall need to comeback for a girl group to have Og gangsters hi pitching singing "Sweeet November" in the hood was quiet a site to see and I know was thier!
Destiny's child what are they doing nowadays? no I'm not talking about Mrs. Carter or Miss Rowland! how are la tavia, le toya, farrah and michelle in these days?
Mrs Rowland is still married she released a new ep and she had another baby Letoya released a fashion collaboration with J Bolin Michelle has a podcast and a new book coming out in 5 days it touches on mental health .
I feel like the material given to Christina was always lackluster. Her albums would have a few great bops and then fall flat. They kept trying to change her image with every album and it was confusing to fans and audiences. The sad part is her 3rd and final studio album was her best in my opinion due to its cohesiveness but by then her label was ready to drop her due to low sales and to start focusing on building up Rihanna’s career.
Wow..I would have kept that same name and put a spin on it. " Formally known as Devine" how could a record lable not clear the stage name before producing anything?? Crazy
I remember the song but I don’t remember the group was name Divine, guarantee the great Divine estate sue them into not making another record. Not for nothing when I head the name Divine I thought of the Drag Queen Divine.
.First heard this song on the Rick Dees the Weekly Top 40 aired thru local radio station here in the Philippines. Not a big hit here. I love them. The song is on my playlist. 😃
Dang there were so many talented one hit wonder R&B groups in the 90s.
True
Yea there were. It's sad that none of them are around anymore
Or one album wonders smh
They sing Lately was a bop especially when it come to a 💔 break.
You never know what people are going through behind this music we love so much. God bless them all.
Exactly
So much bad business was going on in the 90's
Indeed.
@@pele11201 exactly these labels were something.
way before that too in the industry.
That's insane. I dont think I've ever heard a story close to a artist having a US billboard hot 100 number 1 hit, let alone their debut single and not be able to release a second album ever.
I’ve never even heard of them 😬
Music industry is shady it's almost like don't leave your 9 to 5 because this music isn't promised
Their music and voices were heavenly. I miss this group!!
Funny how I still listen to the Divine song lately to this day!! I remember me, my cousin, and a childhood friend would dress up and sing to this song pretending to be them. Those were definitely the good old days!!
I do too lol.
I wanted the Asian hairstyles from the one more try video.
Yep we did too yea they were😃the good days
They were an amazing trio. It's a shame they didn't blow up.
bad terrible record deals.
Tonia , is a sweetheart ❤ 💕 💖
One Night as we was working a coworker had recognized her.
Lord she can blow , to keep our mouth closed about who she was . lol so song for us .
A beautiful soul 💞💞🤞
Hey Everyone 👋🏿. I hope everyone's is having a wonderful Monday & a wonderful week.

That was fast

atcorbett49221 • You have a BLESS day. And a HAPPY Monday🙂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Their song lately was playing in my head before I saw this video 😳
Their version of one more try by George Michaels was great too
Better than Mariah Carey's version too
I did love that song. It was my favourite
Yes!!
Yassssss!!!! 👍🏾❤️👏🏾
@@thablackkat9905 I love her version I like all versions.
I haven't heard from Divine since 6th grade. Childhood memories💎
I still listen to their music ❤

@@Msboochie2 me too .
The entertainment business is so dirty. Those ladies really could sing. I miss the look of the 90's. Good days!!!
I WAS IN 4TH OR 5TH GRADE WHEN THEY CAME OUT AND THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME
This made me so mad smh I swear the 90s was doing a number on all these talented people it's a damn shame
Finally lord mercy answr my prays 😂
😂
Still listen to Lately to this day ❤❤❤
Me too ❤️
Me too I just did
Many thanks for this video! Depression is devastating but we can fight it!
Three elegant ladies with amazing vocal abilities. Still have their singles & playing their music now. Wishing them much success.❣🌹🌹🌹❣
And They kept their CLOTHES ON!!
@@chancest.thomas5160 very good point. These days is rare.
This crazy I was just wondering what happened to them I forgot their name but I loved that song Lately now I know Divine is their name
anyway they can always tell their kids later that they ever hit a number 1 billboard hot and believe me that is the king of the charts after all!
@@nickbrooks2408 that's pure soul you're thinking about.
Lately, been thinkn boutchu baybeh! And everything you do😌❤
Great video sis! Divine are talented period!!! R&b girl groups need to come back asap! It will happen again I know for sure. I have empathy what they went through. The music industry isn't a joke. However, I'm glad their still known. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Red Ant Entertainment was founded by Al Teller, former president of CBS Records and MCA Records.
Thank you SO much for another excellently researched post! It's great to see that the ladies of Divine had found happiness, despite their trials.
Very talented group I still listen to and enjoy their music. They were defiantly underrated. I wish them much success in all that they do.
I was just thinking about this group. Please do Pure Soul...
Good one and for real
@@XhrisSharp yes I love the song we must be in love and their cover of stairway to heaven.
I miss the 90s. 🥺
Wow they completely dropped the ball with them from the start

Lately is still a jam!!!! These girls were truly under rated.
I’d love to to see the groups “Blackgirl” and “For Real” featured. Thanks 🙏🏾!
For Real was AMAZING!!!!!!
@@Necohyessss I just actually mentioned them 😂 and a group named shades.
Checking in I'm ready for this!!!!
Wow, talk about a blast from the past! I loved their song lately, but everyone in my family thought I didn't because I cried every time I heard the song. LOL!😂
I loooooooved “lately” . Never knew when the album was released but the cassette single I had for lately was worn out. One of my fav songs of all time
Another amazing episode 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was 18 years old when they came out i love it when they did george micheal song.
I was 12 when "Lately" debuted. I used to play the single on cassette all the time.
@@thablackkat9905 same here
I still have an old tape when I taped it from the radio .
They are very sweet ppl I interviewed them last year on my show on the anniversary of Lately !!!
Wow hopefully there time to shine will come💕!

They're all good. Happy and still singing. ❤
@@mommyc58great❤ I'm glad to hear that I wonder about the group for real ?.
You should do the group Pure Soul. They did that big wedding anthem “we must be in love”. 🙌🏾😊
I would love to see one on the groups shades and for real .
I have that pure soul song on my girl group list.
their cover of stairway to heaven was beautiful too .
Early squad, wya 😁😁👏🏾👏🏾
👋👋👋
🙌🏽
Ayeeeee!!!!!!
I always wondered what happened to them , glad to see they are doing well
They reminded me of Trin-I-tee 5:7 back then. I remember T57 came out around that time and when I heard them, I was saying this was the R&B T57
Yes come back Divine!!!
Good one .... say what happened to the red ant record label.... it was a really big back in the day... but then it folded🤔

Lovely. Songe.
I still listening lately. It was a only classic hit.
I remember that Lately song
They should have been on r&b divas
Their cover of George Michael's One More Try is still a bop!!
Yayyyy I asked for this one! Thank you!!
Lately by Divine will always be a bop!!
Yes it will I never forgot the song.
It is I just played it.

Mrs Rowland is still married she released a new ep and she had another baby Letoya released a fashion collaboration with J Bolin Michelle has a podcast and a new book coming out in 5 days it touches on mental health .
Farrah just celebrated her 40th birthday.

please do the girl group 702!!
Yess
And subway
@@darrylcarter3691 ladae .
@@darrylcarter3691 yep I agree I was just listening to fire and this lil' game we play a few weeks ago.
I think the aesthetics killed their potential. The video looked old and their look. Should have been more of a 702 direction.
CHRISTINA MILAN! NEXT PLEASE!!!
I feel like the material given to Christina was always lackluster. Her albums would have a few great bops and then fall flat.

The sad part is her 3rd and final studio album was her best in my opinion due to its cohesiveness but by then her label was ready to drop her due to low sales and to start focusing on building up Rihanna’s career.
The video for Lately was on heavy rotation on BET, MTV and The Box!!
Lately was the song!
When ten years from now, people have to make videos like these on June’s Diary
HI! CAN YOU DO THE GROUP YNVEE?
Wow..I would have kept that same name and put a spin on it. " Formally known as Devine" how could a record lable not clear the stage name before producing anything?? Crazy
We also need a story on rap group Group Home who are best known for their songs Supa Star, Livin Proof and Suspended in Time
I remember the song but I don’t remember the group was name Divine, guarantee the great Divine estate sue them into not making another record. Not for nothing when I head the name Divine I thought of the Drag Queen Divine.
Crazy I’ve never heard of them until now
We need a story on rap group Da Bush Babees!!

Do Jay Sean next.
You read my mind omg 🥰🥰
