For Real was a Grammy-nominated R&B/Soul quartet that formed in 1993.

After forming in 1986, For Real tried to land a record deal but had no luck. When they finally did get signed, it happened by accident. "We were picking up our manager from the airport. So we decided to greet him with an acappella song. Someone from A&M records just happened to be in the airport and heard them perform. Not long after, they were signed," says Latanyia Baldwin.

The band released their debut album It's a Natural Thang with production from Brian McKnight on A&M Records in 1994 and it became a critical success, including a rare four stars from Rolling Stone Magazine. Their first single "You Don't Wanna Miss" hit #28 on the Billboard charts, courtesy of a danceable new jack swing remix by Steve "Silk" Hurley which was featured in the song's music video.

They also recorded a duet with Stevie Wonder called "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow" which appeared on the Marvin Gaye tribute album Inner City Blues: The Music Of Marvin Gaye. For Real also recorded songs for the soundtracks of the films Waiting to Exhale and Fled respectively.

After a label change from A&M to Dallas Austin's Arista imprint Rowdy Records in 1996, For Real struck again with the Austin-produced, 60s-leaning single "Like I Do," from their sophomore album Free. "Like I Do" hit #10 on the Billboard singles chart, the video also earned a Billboard nomination for Best R&B Clip, the album made the Top 100, and nearly 400,000 copies in the US, the album's next and last single was the Diane Warren-penned pop ballad "The Saddest Song I Ever Heard" which hit #65 on the Top 100 singles chart. The band performed "Saddest Song" on the TV show All That. Free included production from top R&B/pop producers like Babyface, Mario Winans, and Jon B.

The band also recorded three songs ("I Do", "Born to Love That Boy" and "Unwanted Number") and appeared in the critically acclaimed film Grace of My Heart. The films soundstrack won a Satellite Award in 1997.[6][7]
