????R&B Group "Silk" Lead Singer..
Gary "Lil G" Jenkins(born January 26th) is a musician. He is the lead singer of the R&B group Silk. Born and raised in Nashville, he is the youngest of seven children
Gary began singing in church at the age of seven, which earned him a role as a featured soloist on BET's The Bobby Jones Gospel Show for many years. By the age of nine, Gary had mastered the guitar after only a few lessons and had self-taught an assortment of keyboards, drums and guitars.
While attending Tennessee State University (TSU) in Nashville, Gary majored in music, with an emphasis in piano and voice. As a member of the prestigious TSU Jazz Collegians, he was selected to accompany Dizzy Gillespie on piano during Gillespie's visit to the school.
In 1992, Gary answered an audition call and earned the role as lead singer for Keith Sweat's newly formed R&B group Silk. Their career began with the success of "Fre*k Me"
and "Lose Control" from Silk's 1992 debut album Lose Control. Their career spanned the globe for nearly ten years, with more than five million records sold.
Gary resigned from the group in 2002. Over the following 18 months, Gary wrote, recorded, and produced (with live instruments) his first independent solo project, The Other Side.
After appearing with Silk during Keith Sweat's "Sweat Hotel" tour in 2006 and subsequent release of the concert footage on the DVD "Sweat Hotel", Jenkins reunited with Silk and began touring and recording in late 2007.
Silk is an American R&B group formed in 1989 in Atlanta, Georgia. They are best known for their 1993 hit single, "Fre*k Me," which reached number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
