Pam was known as the cool, tomboyish lead singer of the group. As you can see, she’s been working on her abs since the 90’s and her physique is even more on point than when she was 20!
total now3Pam recently got married to her husband, J. Long (whom is also a singer) a couple years ago and this is what she posted on her Twitter page about him:

“This is the Love Of My Life! Thank you Jesus 4 Loving Me So Much That You Would Send Me a king Who Follows After You w/all of his Heart! We are and will never be perfect but we follow the One that is: And that’s You Jesus! The King of kings and Lord of lords! Hallelujah! As for me and my house, we shall serve The Lord At the Houston Rockets game with the wife We #thuggin,” Pam posted beneath a photo of she and her new hubby.”

Pam has no children (as of yet) and she is a devout Christian now. In fact, she and her husband are both Christian artists and they even released a Christian version of Rufus ft. Chaka Khan’s 1975 hit, “Sweet Thang” a few years ago. Interesting right? Pam said that she’d been taking vocal lessons for about a decade now and that her voice is stronger than ever before. Check out Pam’s and J. Long’s Christian remake of “Sweet Thang” below and tell us what you think…

Her Christian religion isn’t stopping Pam from doing her thing in the R&B world though. In 2014, she reunited with the other Total member, Kima, to strike up the Total fanfare again and so far, they’ve been leaving a great impression on their fans as they reconnect with them. Keisha did not rejoin the group, we’ll get into that in a minute.

Now as for as Kema, this paragraph is about to be really short, know why? Because Kima pretty much lives a very low key life, in fact it’s so low key that there is barely any info out there about her, unlike her fellow Total sisters. What we do know is that she’s married and has two children. Word on the old school curb is that her hubby is a politician in the D.C. area (although there is no confirmation on that) and they have been married for 18 years now. Kima recently posted this on Instagram about her husband…

Like Pam, our girl Kima still looks like she did in 1997 also, geesh! I don’t know what fountain of youth these gorgeous ladies have found, but I wouldn’t mind taking a sip from that same fountain and rewinding time a couple decades.

As we mentioned earlier, the third member, Keisha Epps, does not perform with Total anymore and although we have our own hypothetical thoughts as to why that is, Pam and Kima recently did an interview to give their reasons as to why she’s not on that stage rockin’ crowds with them (see the interview below). If you thought there was any bad blood between any of the Total members though, think again. All three of the ladies are still cool with each other and they are sometimes seen out and about together supporting each other. For example, a few years back, pics surfaced of Pam attending Keisha’s baby shower for Keisha’s and her husband, actor Omar Epps’ child…

Recently Keisha did a surprise appearance (although she didn’t perform) at a Total concert when Kima and Pam brought her out on stage to surprise the fans…

And there it is family, things are still all good in the hood with Total and there is nothing like that tight bonded sisterly love they seem to have. Check out the interview below, of Pam and Kima explaining why Keisha is not a part of Total and why they still decided to reunite as a two-some…
