What was the name of Beyoncé’s former group with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s former group with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams was Destiny’s Child.

The group developed from a Houston-based girl group originally called Girl’s Tyme. Its membership changed during the 1990s, and the final best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Destiny’s Child became one of the most successful female groups in popular music.

Their breakthrough included the 1998 single “No, No, No,” followed by major hits such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The group’s recordings combined contemporary R&B, pop, and tightly arranged vocal harmonies.

Destiny’s Child announced a temporary hiatus in 2001 and later reunited for additional work before disbanding in 2006. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams are sometimes mistakenly described as Beyoncé’s backing singers; both were full members of the group and established solo careers of their own.
