[edit] Career and Controversy

She is best known for the song "Be Careful," a 1998 duet with R. Kelly. Sparkle sang most of the background vocals on Aaliyah's debut cd "Age Ain't Nuthin But A Number" and sang background with R. Kelly on Mary J. Blige's "Share My World" cd before releasing her eponymous debut album in 1998 on Kelly's Rockland Records (with distribution through Interscope Records).

Sparkle then signed to Motown Records. She released her second album Told You So in 2000. Featuring production by Steve Huff, the album was a commercial disappointment. She did score a moderate hit with the single, "It's A Fact" and a minor hit, with "Good Life."

Sparkle's niece allegedly appears on a widely-bootlegged sex-tape with R. Kelly. If true she would have been underage at the time the tape was made. R. Kelly and the accused niece deny it is them on the tape.

Sparkle is currently singing backup for Toni Braxton during Braxton's Las Vegas show Toni Braxton: Revealed.
