Trin-i-tee 5:7 was a gospel trio from New Orleans, Louisiana. The group, who sold over 2.5 million albums, was marketed as a gospel alternative to R&B girl groups such as Destiny's Child and TLC.
In 1998, the group released their first album, Trin-i-tee 5:7, debut at No. 1 on the Top Gospel charts and featured the songs "God's Grace" and the cover song "Oh! Mary Don't You Weep" and was later certified gold. In 1999, Terri Brown left the group and was replaced by singer Adrian Anderson. During that year, the group recorded and released their second album, Spiritual Love, which became the group's second No. 1 album on the Top Gospel charts and contained the singles "Put Your Hands" and "My Body". In 2002, the group released their third album The Kiss, which debuted at No. 2 on the Top Gospel charts.
In 2007, the group left GospoCentric Records and signed a record deal with Spirit Rising Music and released their fourth album T57, which featured the top ten gospel single "Listen" and charted at No. 2 on the Top Gospel charts, No. 5 on the Top Christian charts, and No. 12 on the Top R&B charts.
The New Orleans-based gospel group composed of elementary school friends Angel Taylor, Chanelle Haynes, and Terri Brown, was brought to the attention of gospel label GospoCentric Records by their manager Kenneth Grant. Label owner Viki Mack Lataillade pictured them crossing over to urban market as her flagship artist Kirk Franklin had four years before. "A great deal of attention was put into their imaging because there's a fine line you have to walk with female talent with relation to church and secular audiences as well," Lataillade told Billboard magazine in 1998.
The label named the group Trin-i-tee 5:7 based on 1 John 5:7 biblical scripture that refers to the Trinity.
