Editor's note

Toni Braxton's voice defined 90s R&B heartbreak

From family harmonies to global ballads, her career spans decades of emotional R&B.

If you want the full Toni Braxton experience, start with "Un-Break My Heart" and "He Wasn't Man Enough." They capture that specific blend of vulnerability and strength she does so well.

When "Un-Break My Heart" came out in 1997, it became one of those songs that just stuck around. That Diane Warren ballad and tracks like "He Wasn't Man Enough" gave her a particular space in 90s R&B, somewhere between polished production and raw feeling. She's kept recording since, with songs like "The Little Things" showing she hasn't lost that touch.

She started singing with her sisters in Maryland before Arista signed them as the Braxton Family Values in 1989. After going solo, her second album "Secrets" arrived in 1997 with "Un-Break My Heart," and she's kept working through health challenges like her lupus diagnosis and heart surgery.

Archive material and source history

Toni Braxton grew up in Severn, Maryland, singing with her sisters Traci, Towanda, and Trina. They were signed to Arista Records in 1989 as the Braxton Family Values.

Her second album, "Secrets," came out in 1997 and included the Diane Warren-penned ballad "Un-Break My Heart." That song became a global hit, topping charts and becoming one of her signature recordings. Other tracks like "He Wasn't Man Enough" and "Another Sad Love Song" also defined her style of emotive R&B.

In 2008, Braxton publicly shared her diagnosis of lupus, an autoimmune disease. She underwent open-heart surgery in 2010 to repair a mitral valve prolapse, and has since spoken about both conditions while continuing to perform and record.
