3LW

Besides their singing work, 3LW has appeared as guest stars on Christina Vidal's Nickelodeon show Taina. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. The group's latest album, Phoenix Rising, was originally slated for release later that same year; it has had its release date pushed back several times since then. Throughout their long career, the sisters had sold over 60 million records. In fall 2003, 3LW departed from Epic, signing with Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label. After a long silence, the two surviving sisters had something of a comeback when Bette Midler recorded a cover of their song "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." Maxine and Patti appeared both together and separately throughout the 1970s, with Maxine releasing a solo album in 1986. Jessica Benson made the cut, and offiically joined 3LW in December.

After their late [[2002] single "Never Get Enuf" underperformed, auditions were held across the country for a new third member. Their last appearance together was in 1962 on The Dean Martin Show. Williams and Adrienne Bailon continued as a duo, though still using the "3LW" name, leading to the press to jokingly refer to them as "2LW". After a brief hiatus after the war, the sisters regrouped, performing in clubs throughout the United States and Europe. Naughton alleged that the other two girls and their manager forced her out of the group, and that she left in the aftermath of a heated food fight between her and Kiely Williams. Their popularity was such that after the war they discovered that some of their records had actually been smuggled into Germany after the labels had been changed to read "Hitler's Marching Songs.". The group was set to release its newest LP, A Girl Can Mack, when Naturi Naughton anounced that she was no longer a member of the group. During this period they recorded many songs with Bing Crosby.
