Wendy and Lisa

Wendy and Lisa, an American pop-rock music duo consisting of Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, originated in Los Angeles, California. The pair began their musical journey in the early 1980s when Lisa Coleman joined Prince's touring band on keyboards and piano. In 1983, Wendy Melvoin was invited to join as guitarist for the recording of Purple Rain (1984). After contributing to several albums with Prince and the Revolution, including Around the World in a Day (1985) and Parade (1986), they left the band in 1986. Wendy and Lisa released their eponymous debut studio album in October 1987, featuring singles "Honeymoon Express", "Waterfall" and "Sideshow". Their follow-up albums include Fruit at the Bottom (1989), which included the UK top 40 single "Satisfaction", and Eroica (1990). In 1991, they released a compilation album titled Re-Mix-In-A-Carnation. Wendy and Lisa have collaborated with numerous artists, including Seal, k.d. lang, Joni Mitchell, and Madonna.
