Another fine R&B female group formed in 1979. With great dance songs like "The men all pause", "Meeting in the ladies room" and "Man size love" and some SUPER slow grooves like "I miss you" and "I'd still say yes". I dare say they were the Supremes of R&B music in the 80's. They were ahead of their time, I don't know if these other artists were inspired by Klymaxx or not, but I definitely hear them in music by Taylor Dayne and Expose and people like that. What do you think?

Yeah, Klymaxx was jammin'. Man Size Love and I Miss You were their best, in my opinion.

All-female band formed in 1979 by producer/drummer Bernadette Cooper, guitarist Cheryl Cooley and keyboard player Lynn Malsby. The original lead vocalists were Lorena Porter Shelby and Joyce "Fenderella" Irby, who later left for a solo career. In 1990, the group became a trio, with Shelby, guitarist Cheryl Cooley, and keyboardist Robbin Grider. "I Miss You" was a major hit for the band in 1985. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
