Whenever we go on a trip, my son and daughter always sing along with their Papa. My husband is a very happy person, he has a wonderful personality and with his loud voice, he is always at the center of a party. I beam with pride and ask the kids, "Didn't I choose the best papa for you! " they would laugh and say thanks mommy, "Papa knows everything!"
Time traces back to 1992, a month after I first met my future husband through work, he flew back to California, so we exchanged emails daily (sealed with a kiss) and talked on the phone whenever we had a chance. One day we had an annual meeting at Holiday Inn Lido Hotel in Beijing. While I was watching MTV and chatting with my man over the phone, a group of young ladies came on the screen. They were so fresh looking, and their voices were angelic! "Who are they?" I wondered. He asked me to describe them. "A short haired blonde, a red head, and one with curly long hair", then I started humming with the TV. He said " I bet you are watching Wilson Phillips, they are a rising new group, very popular right now!"
You see, the trio group of Wilson Phillips played an important role in my love story. With the first glimpse, they became my favorite singers! Guess what? He bought me all their cassettes, CDs and mailed to me the following week. On the days he wasn't around, the songs kept me company.
From wiki, "Wilson Phillips is an American vocal group consisting of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips. in 1990. Their debut single, "Hold On," hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, bumping Madonna's "Vogue" off the top spot!
You have probably heard of " the Beach Boys" and "the Mamas and the Papas" from the 1960s. That's when I say " like father like daughter", music talent runs in the family: Carnie and Wendy Wilson are daughters of Brian Wilson from the Beach boys; Chynna Phillips is a daughter of Michelle and John Phillips, from "the Mamas and the Papas"!
