: Denzil Foster/Thomas McElroy

The dynamic production team of Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy enjoyed an incredible run throughout the mid-80s as members of Club Nouveau (which hinted at new jack rhythms in their heyday), and later on, obtaining superstardom with En Vogue. To a lesser degree, the duo also lent a hand with much of Toni Tony Tone's early recordings as well as Michael Cooper. In between their production duties, the duo managed to record their lone album in late '89. Although it stalled on the charts, the album manufactured a minor new jack hit with "Dr. Soul" (featuring an abrasive rap by M.C. Lyte).

After that unsuccessful effort, the duo would continue mammoth success with En Vogue and launch an unsuccessful label effort, dubbing their clan "Fmob" in '93. By early '94, En Vogue was headed for hiatus and Foster/McElroy went quiet for a spell. By '96, the duo would produce for the Great White Hype Soundtrack and re-unite with En Vogue for their third release, EV3.
