Wilson Phillips & Debbie Gibson

Wilson Phillips

If ever the term “music business royalty” applies, it is custom made for WILSON PHILLIPS. Literally born into the music business, Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips were born with vocal harmonies in their DNA. Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, and Chynna is the daughter of the equally notorious Michelle and John Phillips of the famed Mamas and Papas. Friends since birth, Carnie and Chynna knew each other even before Wendy was born. Best friends growing up, the three of them would often share their love for music and specifically for vocal harmonies. In 1989 they were signed to SBK Records, and their self-titled debut album was released in 1990, and had three number one singles “Hold On,” “Release Me” and “Impulsive.” It sold five million copies in the US alone, and was nominated for four Grammy awards. Their follow up album, released in 1992, had their fourth number one single “You’re In Love.” They have sold over ten million albums worldwide over their storied career becoming one of the best-selling female groups in recorded music history.

Debbie Gibson

For more than 35 years, Debbie Gibson has been a true pioneer and force in the entertainment industry. A singer, songwriter, producer, musician, actor, and entrepreneur, she embodies what it truly means to be an icon. A music prodigy, Gibson burst on the Billboard Pop Charts at the tender age of 16 with the self-penned “Only In My Dreams.” The “Original Pop Princess” quickly became the youngest artist ever to write, produce and perform a No. 1 hit song, “Foolish Beat,” on the Billboard Hot 100 and entered the Guinness Book of World Records. To date, she is still the youngest female to hold that record. Less than a year later, she did it again with her self-penned and produced hit “Lost in Your Eyes” making her to date the sole female artist to have written, produced and performed two No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. She also holds the title of the youngest artist to be awarded ASCAP Songwriter of the Year. Gibson has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide and released 11 studio albums and five compilations.
