1980's girl band

[voidoid]

The members of which early-Eighties all-girl group each adopted the band name as their own surname?

[Arksided]

Is this cryptic or factual?

[voidoid]

From a newspaper quiz so factual i assume

[factor-fiction]

It wasn't Banarama. I've also checked out the Bellestars, Sister Sledge and Heart but it wasn't them. I don't think it was The Bangles or the GoGos or Weather Girls. I'm off out now but I'll have a think

[Arksided]

ok, not exactly adopted but... there was 'Wilson Philips, from the late eighties. children of the beach boys and the Mama's and Papa's... if that helps?

... if not i'll keep pondering that one.

[voidoid]

Thanks for the suggestions

Could it be The Spice Girls? Baby Spice, Posh Spice, Scary Spice etc.,

[factor-fiction]

Spice Girls were 90s rather than early 80s though- and there was Mel C who didn't have a Spice name

[ABerrant]

Sporty Spice!!!

[tiggerblue10]

[MarkRae]

Early 80s. Wilson Phillips' début album was released in 1990.

[Arksided]

Mark, do you have a signed copy? It's good to see you coming up with at least a suggestion as to it might be?

[Arksided]

Voioid, I for one would be most grateful if you'd post the answer when it's given.

thanks. (still come up with nothing else)

[voidoid]

I will post the answer given in the newspaper when it's printed, cos I don't think I'm going to get it any other way

[yogi-bear]

I'l plum for Sister Sledge :0)


Or is it The Pointer Sisters??


I need a coffee fix.

[Booldawg]

The Nolans?

[redhand]

in all these groups they did not have to adopt the band name as surname,as they already had the surname to start with
