3) The '90s R&B trio Silk was one of the many groups to arrive from that genre in the wake of classic Motown and during the heyday of their native Philadelphia scene. The group was never as famous as most of their contemporaries, but they still managed to release two albums before they disbanded in the late '90s, 1997's Smooth as Silk and 1997's Silk.
Not to be confused with 90's R'n'B Silk.

Silk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're still in this game somehow
And we owe it all to you
Lord, you never let us down
It's time for us to close the show
We wanna let our people know, oh yeah
You might not always see a face
We always keep our music real
We cater to that sex appeal
Give you something you can feel
Hope you enjoyed the smooth silky sounds
We hope we made you loose control
Hope we took you to the next level
It's time to say goodbye for now
Cuz this love session is closed, is closed
But we will return
We're gonna come back to you, yeah
We gotta come back to you, you yeah
But we, we will return
We're gonna come back to you, back to you
