TLC formed in 1991, with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes lending her rapping skills to the group, and their first album produced three Top 10 hits. TLC's 1994 follow-up, Crazysexycool, sold more than 11 million copies in the United States and featured three No. 1 hits. Lopes's personal life, though, was marred by her rocky relationship with football great Andre Rison, and in 1994, she was arrested for burning down his home. Lopes died in a car accident on April 25,2002, in Roma (near La Ceiba), Honduras.

Early Career

Singer and rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Nicole Lopes was born on May 27, 1971, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lopes was a member of the hip-hop/R&B group TLC. Known for her brash, uncompromising demeanor, Lopes engineered the group's brand of empowered womanhood that vaulted the trio to the top of the pop charts.

The group formed in 1991, with Lopes lending her rapping talents to fellow members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Their first album, Oooooooh . . . On the TLC Tip, was released the following year and was an immediate success. The album produced three Top 10 hits. The group's 1994 follow-up, Crazysexycool, sold more than 11 million copies in the United States alone and featured three No. 1 hits: "Creep," "Red Light Special" and "Waterfalls." The album also earned the trio two Grammy Awards.

Solo career

After Fanmail, Lopes began to expand her solo career. She became a featured rapper on several singles, including former Spice Girl Melanie C's "Never Be the Same Again", which topped the charts in thirty five countries, including the United Kingdom. She was also featured on the first single from Donell Jones' second album, "U Know What's Up", and she sang "Space Cowboy" with 'N Sync on their 2000 album, No Strings Attached. In September 2000 she co hosted the MOBO Awards in the UK alongside Trevor Nelson, where she also performed "U Know Whats's Up" with Donnell Jones. Lopes also collaborated on "Gimme Some" by Toni Braxton from her 2000 release The Heat. In 2001 she appeared in two commercials for Gap Inc.. rappers, and rock bands competed against each other and were judged. The show's winner, which ended up being a male-female rap duo, was promised a record deal and funding to produce a music video, which would then enter MTV's heavy rotation. A then-unknown Anastacia finished in third place, but so impressed Lopes and the show's three judges, that she too scored a record deal. About nine months before her death, Lopes appeared on the singers' edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire along with Joey McIntyre, Tyrese, Nick Lachey, and Lee Ann Womack. She dropped from a $125,000 question and won $32,000 for charity. A year later, in 2002, the episode of her drop was shown and was dedicated to her.

Lopes created "Left Eye Productions" to discover new talent. She helped the R&B trio Blaque to secure a record deal with Columbia Records. Their self-titled debut album was executive-produced by Lopes, who also made a cameo appearance on the album and in their music video "I Do". Lopes was also developing another new band called Ejypt. They worked on her second album under her new nickname, N.I.N.A, meaning New Identity Not Applicable.

Personal Issues

Although Left Eye's professional life was booming, her personal life was troubled because of her tumultous relationship with football player Andre Rison. In 1994, Left Eye was arrested for burning down Rison's home. Left Eye escaped jail time, but debts incurred from the incident forced TLC to declare bankruptcy in 1995.
Later Projects

After the lengthy hiatus, the band returned to the studio in 1999 and emerged with the album Fanmail, which earned the trio another pair of Grammy Awards in the R&B category.

In 2000, Left Eye embarked on a solo project later titled Supernova. Although the release date for the album was originally set for August, 2001, the date was repeatedly postponed. The album was broadcast over the internet later that year.

Tragic Death

On April 25, 2002, with Supernova yet to be formally released and a fourth TLC album still in production, Lopes was killed in a car accident on a highway in Roma (near La Ceiba), Honduras, where the singer owned a condominium.
