 While band members Cindy Herron and Maxine Jones went on maternity leave, Terry Ellis reteamed with regular En Vogue contributors Foster & McElroy to work on her solo album "Southern Gal" which was released to lackluster success in November 1995.In the meantime, En Vogue lent their vocals to the collaborative single "Freedom (Theme from "Panther")" (1995) and recorded "Don't Let Go (Love)" for the soundtrack to the motion picture "Set It Off" (1996).Released in the autumn, it became the group's biggest hit yet, selling over 1.8 million copies worldwide and becoming certified platinum by the RIAA.
