En Vogue. Remember them? I was told a bunch of fashion/music executives picked them out, assembled them together with music writers and made a lot of money. Same with the Spice Girls. Amazing how it works. Even the Monkees back in the 60’s. Micky Dolenz couldn’t play drums. He was an actor who ‘acted’ like he was playing them. Nesmith was the only musician. Could go on and on.

Re: Monkeys, both Michael Nesmith & Peter Tork were real musicians - Tork being a “folkie”.

WIKI:
He grew up in Connecticut and in the mid-1960s was part of the Greenwich Village folk scene, and as an accomplished musician, befriended Stephen Stills. After moving to Los Angeles with Stills, he was recruited for the musical television sitcom The Monkees
