Welcome back to Lesson 15! Everything in this lesson involves 1997, the year this week's subject debuted their self-titled album. All Saints are an English girl group, and Jose kept this album in his car back in the day, even though John has no memory of it. But it's apparently UK's third-best selling girl group album of all time. Huh. John's still never heard any of these songs before. Not these versions, anyway.

The most notorious mass murder in Ohio’s history happened on the night of April 21, 2016 in rural Pike County.
