LFO (an acronym for "Lyte Funky Ones") formed in 1996 in the boy band mecca of Orlando, FL. There, singer Rich Cronin befriended aspiring model Brad Fischetti, and the duo spent the next two years honing their vocal, dancing, and songwriting skills. With the addition of third vocalist Devin Lima, LFO's lineup was complete, and the trio toured in support of the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC before releasing a self-titled debut album in 1999. The breezy, lighthearted pop song "Summer Girls" -- which referenced the teen-based clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch in its lyrics, thus enhancing the song's appeal with LFO's teenaged audience -- became a Top Five single that summer.
