Terry Ellis is an African-American R&B singer. After receiving a degree in Marketing from Prairie View A & M University, she joined En Vogue. En Vogue was planned to be a trio, but the producers were so impressed by her voice, they made the group a quartet. In 1995 Ellis took time during the group's hiatus to release her solo CD, Southern Gal. The CD included the moderate hits "Where Ever You Are" and "What Did I Do To You?".
