Seduction (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seduction was a female Dance-pop, Urban contemporary, House music and Freestyle trio from New York assembled and produced by Clivilles and Cole of C+C Music Factory, consisting of members Idalis DeLeon (b. June 15, 1966), April Harris (b. March 25, 1967) and Michelle Visage (b. September 20, 1968). Originally intended as a studio project, Seduction's second single "You're My One and Only (True Love)" featured uncredited lead vocals by Martha Wash. The song ended up becoming a hit and a group was then assembled for the recording of the album Nothing Matters Without Love and subsequent singles. Their biggest hit came in early 1990 with "Two To Make It Right", a #2 pop hit. In mid-1990 DeLeon left the group and was replaced by Sinoa Loren (b. December 6, 1966). After a pair of hits with this lineup, the group broke up in 1991.
