1986

Josina Elder founds the R&B quartet For Real in Los Angeles.

(The names of the other ladies at this point are unknown to me; what I do know is that Latanyia and Necia are not members of the group yet.)

 

1992

For Real tries to land a record deal, having no success initially.
To their own surprise, things change rapidly after visiting the airport one day:

“We were picking up our manager from the airport," Miss Baldwin says.
“So we decided to greet him with an acappella song." Someone from A&M records just happened to be in the airport and heard them perform. Not long after, they were signed.

 

1993

The quartet line-up is now stable.
Members are:

  • Wendi Williams
  • LaTanyia Baldwin
  • Josina Elder
  • Necia Bray

They rehearse in a garage in Los Angeles. The ladies still attend school, or are having various jobs.
Wendi and Josina are nieces; Necia and LaTanyia auditioned for the group.
