‘I Can Hear This Picture’: Tiny Harris’ Throwback Photo with Ladies of R&B Sends Fans Back Down Memory Lane

The baby faces and bare skin of talented R&B vocalists Tameka “Tiny” Harris, Tamar Braxton, Alicia Keys and former Destiny’s Child group members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett sent fans back down memory lane on social.

A photo of “90’s finest,” as Tiny captioned it, was shared on social for her #SwingItBackSundays and fans were flabbergasted by how little the women had aged, as well as how beautiful each of them was without any effort.

“When NATURAL was the trend‼️ All of y’all are naturally beautiful❤️”

“You girls look so beautiful and amazing and still do❤️,” wrote one person about the photo that garnered more than 42,000 likes on the ‘Gram.

“That’s a lot of r&b in one room💕💽”

“I can hear this picture😩🔥”

“Bring the real music back,” commented others.

With the exception of Keys and Roberson, each of the women has appeared on reality TV shows. For Braxton, being in front of the camera is no biggie as she is a cast member of “Braxton Family Values.” She also had the multi-season show “Tamar & Vince” with her ex-husband, Vincent Herbert, and is slated to star in her first solo reality TV show in April called “Get Ya Life.”

Tiny, on the other hand, may have passed on being a housewife with long-time friend and Xscape group member Kandi Burruss, but she’s still had her share of TV time.

For several seasons, fans watched her and her husband T.I. raise their children and engage in all sorts of comical shenanigans on “T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle before bringing friends Monica, Luckett and others into the fold on “T.I. and Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle.

“Black girl magic for real!!❤️💜💜”

“Growing up in the 90’s was the best we need R&B back”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
