Destiny's Child was a popular Rhythm & Blues trio in the late 1990’s that was formed in 1997 in Houston Texas, although their members, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé Knowles, and Michelle Williams, had an earlier musical formation.
Formed originally as a quartet, Destiny's Child recorded the song "Killing Time," that was part of the soundtrack for the movie "Men in Black". In 1997, their self-titled debut album was released early in 1998 producing their first single hit, the song "No, No, No" that had two other album versions, "No, No, No Part 1" and "No, No, No Part 2", bringing mixed reviews from music critics.
Destiny's Child recorded a second album as a quartet, "The Writing's on the Wall" released in 1999, from which the new song cut to be released as single, "Bills, Bills, Bills", went number one on Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the R&B chart.
"Bug-a-Boo", the second single from the second album peaked at the Top 40 pop charts, and Destiny's Child began to be rotated on BET and MTV and BET, embarking the girls into an international tour.
During their 1990s' era, the band suffered several lineup changes until 2000 left the band as a trio. Destiny's Child recorded three more studio albums, "Survivor" (2001), "8 Days of Christmas" (2001) and "Destiny Fulfilled" (2004), that certainly fulfilled the destiny of the band.
