Eternal’s chart-friendly R&B proved a huge success throughout the '90s, combining American showbiz pizzazz with South London sass. The four-member group hit the ground running in 1993, a year after they formed, when "Stay"—their slick cover of the lesser-known Glenn Jones song—became a worldwide hit. Four became three when Louise Nurding left the group to pursue a solo career in 1995, though the consolidated Eternal went from strength to strength, scoring a UK No.1 single with "I Wanna Be the Only One" (a duet with gospel singer Bebe Winans), while sturdy soul numbers like "Power of a Woman" drew favourable comparisons with U.S. counterparts En Vogue.
