Trina & Tamara
Trina & Tamara are an American contemporary R&B group from Gary, Indiana[1] who were active in the late 1990s. The group was composed of fraternal twin sisters Trina Powell (born April 18, 1974)[2][3] and Tamara Powell. They are the younger sisters of fellow contemporary R&B singer Jesse Powell.[1] In 1997, the duo appeared on the song "My Love Is the Shhh!" by Somethin' for the People, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] Their next single, "What'd You Come Here For?" was released in 1999. It peaked at #14 on the r&b charts[5] and #56 on the Hot 100.[6] Their album, the eponymous Trina & Tamara, was released shortly after[7] and peaked at #99 on the Billboard R&B chart.[8]
