LOL I just found a resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives about Destiny's Child.
Quote:
WHEREAS, Destiny's Child is one of the most popular female
R&B groups in the entertainment industry today, and their
extraordinary professional success is truly worthy of special
recognition; and
WHEREAS, The original members were nine years old when they
first formed a group in Houston in 1990; they took their name from a
passage in the book of Isaiah and developed an act centered around
singing and rapping; adding a third member and landing an
appearance on Star Search in 1992, these talented young women began
performing at clubs in Houston and eventually landed lucrative
spots opening for such established artists as SWV, Dru Hill, and
Immature; and
WHEREAS, The group's self-titled debut album was released in
early 1998, and its lead single, "No No No," topped the R&B charts
and sold more than a million copies; the following year, they
followed up with their second album, The Writing's on the Wall,
which entered the charts at number six and included such hits as
"Say My Name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'"; and
WHEREAS, By the time their next album, Survivor, was released
in 2001, Destiny's Child was the biggest female R&B act in the
nation; today, the group's current members, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly
Rowland, and Michelle Williams, continue to shine as undeniable
talents of song and stage; and
WHEREAS, The longevity of Destiny's Child speaks to the
talent of the group's members, who have weathered several personnel
changes without sacrificing their commitment to the music; with
their lovely yet powerful singing voices, they have earned many
admirers and fans, and it is a pleasure to recognize their
outstanding achievements; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the members of Destiny's Child for their
accomplishments in the music industry and extend to them sincere
best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
