(Got this information from Wikipedia.com. So if some information is wrong I am sorry.)

Total is one of my favorite r&b groups from the nineties. I love they sound and would love to see them get back together. They are what you truly call a girl r&b group. Don't get me wrong I like some of the stuff that some of the girl groups put out today but nothing can beat r&b groups like Total and other r&b groups I will put up later. I was kind of young when they were out but I was old enough to know good music when I heard it. Some songs I love by them are Can't You See, Kissin' You, Do You Think About Us, and Trippin'. My favorite album by them is they self-titled album Total.
