Artist:Seduction

Song:(You're My One and Only) True Love

Album:Nothing Matters Without Love

Seduction was a girl group that scored four chart hits from their 1989 album Nothing Matters Without Love. (You're My One and Only) True Love was not their biggest hit but their first hit. The guys behind Seduction were Robert Clivilles and David Cole who went on to be C+C Music Factory. The idea for Seduction was to create a freestyle act similar to Expose using New York studio singers. Nobody was supposed to know who was singing. The single Seduction was released in 1988. The singer on the record was A&M Records Black Music A&R Director Carol Cooper. When the single got dance club play, Clivilles, Cole and Cooper decided to turn it into a group called Seduction on A&M. But first, they had to hire singers. Meanwhile, Cole recorded the song True Love with Martha Wash of Weather Girls. It was released as a single but Martha was not credited. Cole tried to alter her voice so no one would know it was Martha. When the single became a hit, they knew they needed to hire singers. They were April Harris, Michelle Visage and Idalis DeLeon. April was the only one was was really a singer. She was Cole's sister's best friend. So he could have hired her previously. Cole did a remix with the three singing backup for Martha's vocals. The single reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. The rest of the album Nothing Matters Without Love featured vocals by the three girls. Why couldn't Cole wait? You know what they say. Strike while the iron is hot. Martha sued and it was settled out of court. Seduction's biggest hit was the single Two to Make it Right which reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. This album is available on CD. Of course C+C went on to have more trouble when the C+C Music Factory single Gonna Make You Sweat used uncredited Martha Wash vocals and she sued them again. As for the girls, April reformed Seduction and released a 2005 album. She owns the business Keeping You Sweet. Michelle is part of RuPaul's Drag Race and has appeared on various TV shows related to that. Idaris has worked as a TV host for Access Hollywood and Extra. And she has done acting mostly on TV.
