Sinnamon was a female R&B trio from the United States, originating from both Hartford, Connecticut and New York City. The ensemble consisted of Barbara Fowler, Marsha Carter, and Melissa Bell. Their initial sound was grounded in minimalist post-disco R&B, but over time they transitioned towards freestyle and accessible house music, all while preserving their core R&B essence. Melissa Bell has since become a writer based in New York City.
History
The group reached the height of their commercial achievements in 1982 with the release of "Thanks to You", which held the number one position on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart for a fortnight and climbed to number 44 on the US Billboard R&B chart. In 1983, their single "I Need You Now" included uncredited vocals by Bernard Fowler from the Peech Boys.
