En Vogue were the brainchild of R&B producers Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy. The two dance floor hitmakers got their start producing (with Jay King) the 80s R&B group Timex Social Club. The band scored a club hit with "Rumors" that anchored their only album Vicious Rumors released in 1986 on Danya/Fantasy Records. There are other songs on the album that are less grating than the "topical" hit song but Timex can't find the right balance between the humorous and the serious (often mistaking one for the other) nor can they find their harmonies.
Here is the discography for Timex Social Club:
Rumors (1986 single)
Vicious Rumors
Mixed Up World (1986 single)
Thinkin' About Ya (1986 single)
"Mixed Up World" by Timex Social Club
