The 411

They run in the same orbit as Sugababes, Honeyz, Shaznay Lewis, Mutya Buena and All Saints, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Paloma Faith, Percy Sledge, Peabo Bryson, Candi Staton and Cliff Richard, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
