It's crazy how it took Maxine singing a 'high' part for so many ppl in these comments to notice how dope she is vocally... This group was put together by audition; they can ALL sing.

Put together in 1989 by producers Denzil Foster & Thomas McElroy, also longtime production for mos of their platinum hits, they knew each sing voice well and choose which girl voice sounded best as lead vocalist on each song for most of the studio album projects.

When I heard "Hold On" for the first time and with the unison notes that were in the background from Dawn, Cindy and Maxine I could tell vocally that all 4 of them could sing. I grabbed the CD right after that. Max has so much versatility in the group she wasn't showcased as often until the Funky Divas album.

These girls were so genuine, their Voices rang out all of the World! Its a shame that they group was cut short due to management. I wish that their friendship would have been stronger then the management could have never torn them apart. As a matter of fact, if they did what the song that they were singing (Got to be part of me) nothing could have come between them and they would have broken records for years to come! This is how powerful En Vogue was; It September 29, 2015 and not only am I enjoying this song, but I am clicking on every song on the side there to listen to everything that they sang all over again. Thank you for uploading this beautiful classic!

Dawn's impact on the group singing and group wise always stood out she was like aubrey was to Danity kane the provocative looks they gave her made men and women took notice( IE TLC crazysexycool when Phife said he used to have a crush on Dawn from EnVOgue ) so when she made the decision to leave Envogue died that day literally! You can count EV3 and Masterpiece Theatre as the struggle albums and probably the lowest sales because of that !

Robert Goldsborough no problem. You hit the nail on the head about Cindy's voice. I never understood why she didn't always sing the top note since hers sounded so much more natural than Terry's or even Dawn's, since it was much lighter but clearer. Terry would sing hers with more falsetto and head voice. Dawn couldn't get as high but she could get up there. I always found it even more odd that Cindy would sing the low parts when Max led when Terry had a much lower tone than her. Nevertheless, that was the allure of this group, that they could switch parts randomly without losing pitch or blend.
