Total

Total was an American R&B girl group and one of the signature acts of Sean Combs ‘ Bad Boy Records imprint during the 1990s. The group consisted of members Kima Raynor, Keisha Spivey, and Pamela Long.

New Jersey R&B trio Total made their first appearance singing the hook on The Notorious B.I.G. ’s debut single, Juicy. Garnering attention for the new group, they were also featured on the original version and “Hip Hop Remix” of his next single “One More Chance”. They then immediately hit the studio with Bad Boy Records CEO Sean “Puffy” Combs and began work on their debut album. The first single “Can’t You See?” first appeared on the soundtrack to 1995 motion picture “New Jersey Drive”. The song featured The Notorious B.I.G. and peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as #2 on the R&B Charts. Their self-titled debut album was released nearly a year after the single. Total produced two more R&B top ten singles, “No One Else” (and its remix featuring Foxy Brown, Lil Kim and Da Brat ) and ’“Kissing You” (and its remix featuring Sean “Puffy” Combs). The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.
