Ten City, an influential American house music and R&B act, originated from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 1987 by vocalist Byron Stingily, guitarist Herb Lawson, and keyboardist Byron Burke, the group initially called themselves Ragtyme before changing to Ten City, a play on the word 'intensity'. They are widely regarded for their blend of soulful vocals with house beats that characterized the Chicago house scene of the late '80s and early '90s.
The group's peak came with their hits such as "That's The Way Love Is" and "Devotion," which became anthems on both dance floors and in the realm of dance music. Over the years, they've gone through periods of inactivity and resurgence, with Byron Stingily's soul-stirring voice remaining a constant defining feature. Their impact on house music has been enduring, with their tracks being remixed and celebrated by subsequent generations. Their more recent releases such as "Love Is Love" and a mix of "That's The Way Love Is" showcase the timeless nature of their music, as they continue to resonate with audiences new and old, and affirm their status as house music luminaries.
