Pepsi & Shirlie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pepsi & Shirlie were a British pop duo who released two albums, All Right Now, in 1987 and Changes in 1991.
Pepsi and Shirlie were Helen "Pepsi" DeMacque (born 10 December 1958, in Paddington, London) and Shirley "Shirlie" Holliman (born 18 April 1962, in Watford, Hertfordshire), who had been background vocalists for the group Wham!. Holliman's original singing partner, Dee C. Lee, had earlier left the group to marry Paul Weller.
They had two UK Top Ten hits: "Heartache", reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart, and "Goodbye Stranger" which reached #9. "What's Going on Inside Your Head" was another popular track.
Their tours included a concert performed in Amman, Jordan.
Holliman has been married since 1988 to Martin Kemp, a former member of the group Spandau Ballet and now an actor, while DeMacque now resides in Wellington, New Zealand, and works at a gift shop on Lambton Quay.
