The group was originally a quintet made up of Tim Cameron, Jimmy Gates, Gary "Big G" Glenn, Gary "Lil G" Jenkins and Johnathen "John-John or Young Billy D" Rasboro. They were discovered by artist Keith Sweat.
They continued the popularity of the various New Jack Swing groups that emerged in the late 80's.
In 2002, Silk and Sweat seperated from from the label "Elektra Records". In 2003, Silk released their fifth album "Silktime" independently on their own label Silk Music Group distributed through Liquid 8 Entertainment. The album featured the songs "Silktime", "My Girl", "Alibi", "More", "You (The Baby Song)", "Check My Story" and a remake of Blue Magic's classic "Side Show". That song reunited them with their mentor, Keith Sweat.
In 2006 the group returned with their sixth album "Always And Forever" this time on well known R&B/Soul, Contemporary, and Jazz label Shanachie Records. The album featured covers of classics from the 70s, 80s, and 90s R&B. The songs on the album included remakes of "Adore" by Prince, "Don't Disturb This Groove" by The System, "Always And Forever" by Heatwave, "Nite And Day" by Al B. Sure, "Secret Garden (Seduction Suite)" by Quincey Jones, "The Lady In My Life" by Michael Jackson, "Two Occasions" by The Deele, and "Side Show" by Blue Magic also appeared on this album. "Secret Garden" was the first single for which a video was also released.
