Does anybody else remember the girl duo Mel & Kim?? I wonder, because whenever I mention them people seem to choose not to hear me. Maybe because they were fans back then and would rather forget that chapter in their lives. Maybe because I keep randomly bringing them up when we were in the middle of a pleasant talk about rising taxes and pandemics, or whatever the grown-ups talk about these days.
I personally don’t think there was anything to be embarrassed about if you happened to tap your feet a little too enthusiastically whenever one of their songs came up. I loved the Appleby sisters and I certainly wasn’t alone in this. They had all the ingredients for Pop Greatness, if only they had more time. Sadly, their success came to a tragic end with the untimely death of Mel.
Mel & Kim were a hot British girl group in the late eighties. The singing sisters had hits like “Respectable” and “Showing Out”. The tunes were catchy, the choreography was superb and the outfits were a mix of street and high fasion. In other words, they were the complete female pop group package. If you want to see them in all their Poptastic glory check out the “Respectable” video.
Okay then, back to talking about bird flu and mortgage rates.
