TGT is a supergroup that consists of R&B singers Tyrese (Tyrese Gibson), Ginuwine (Elgin Baylor Lumpkin) and Tank (Durrell Babbs). TGT is named after the first letter of each of the trio's stage names (T for Tyrese, G for Ginuwine, and T for Tank). The three are close friends and Tyrese was best man at Ginuwine's wedding, but TGT represented their first collaboration.〔Brown, August (June 3, 2007). "(A steamy time will be had by all )", ''Los Angeles Times'', p. F14.〕 Despite being together as a super group since its formation in 2007, it released its debut album only in August 2013 titled ''Three Kings'' on Atlantic Records. ==Beginnings== Their first song in 2007 was a remix of Tank's "Please Don't Go" released as "Please Don't Go (The TGT Remix)".〔Spivey, Lisa (May 31, 2007). "R & B's Newest Trio", ''Los Angeles Sentinel'' 72 (43): B7.〕 The trio also appeared on Slim Thug's single "Let Me Grind". In an interview, Tyrese said the group would be the "ultimate R&B fan experience. Me, Tank and Ginuwine been talking about this forever. The reason why this makes sense is that besides all of us being R&B singers, we're all good friends. Every time I see Tank, every time I see Ginuwine, we all had good energy regardless."〔Haynes, Ebony (February 9, 2008). "(Mix 'N' Match )", ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 30.〕 The trio planned the Shirts Off Tour for late 2007,〔 with Avant as an opening act. As part of the tour, they planned to hold auditions for a fourth member of the group.〔〔Slagle, Dana (June 11, 2007). "Tyrese, Ginuwine And Tank Form A Singing Group", ''Jet'' 111 (23): 33. (Convenience link ).〕 The tour faced delays, however, and was anticipated for early 2008.〔Concepcion, Muriel; Crosley, Hillary; and Mitchell, Gail (July 21, 2007). "Urban songwriters to watch", ''Billboard'' 119 (29): 33〕 The group faced difficulties given that each member of the trio is signed to a different record label,〔no byline (October 11, 2007). "Tank is rollin' into town", ''The Daily Reflector''.〕 and on August 21, 2008 Ginuwine announced on his MySpace blog that due to label and legal issues they will not be able to release an official TGT album at the moment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TGT (group)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
