The Reynolds Girls - Get Real


The Reynolds Girls, Linda and Aisling, were a pair of sisters from Liverpool, England. They became a one hit wonder in 1989 with the Stock, Aitken & Waterman track "I'd Rather Jack" that started out as a response to critics who ignored the younger Pop acts in the UK at the time.

After the success of "I'd Rather Jack" the duo were set to record a full album with the producers, but shortly before starting recording it they split from PWL over creative differences (Waterman later stated that they refused to cancel a pre-booked holiday in order to record and promote their second single, a move he felt was arrogant). They later put out a follow up single, "Get Real", but the record was unsuccessful and the duo would fall off the music radar for good.

thanx popgems for this! i always had a soft spot for those two girls. the story of preferring to keep the scheduled holiday instead of promoting the album made me smile. They could have been so big :-)

Ha that's ironic, their last single was "Get Real". If they'd followed their own advice they might have been more than a one-hit wonder. Pete Waterman was right: you don't blow the chance of a lifetime for a holiday.
