Wilson Phillips
Growing up, Wendy and Carnie Wilson were friends with Chynna Phillips, the daughter of Mamas & the Papas members Michelle and John Phillips. All three were passionate about music due to their parents, and worked together on singing and vocal harmonies. In 1989, the trio formed the vocal group Wilson Phillips and landed a deal with SBK Records. The group went on to release its self-titled debut album in 1990. A massive commercial success, the album reached number two on the Billboard 200 and remained in the top 10 for a whole year. It spawned five hit singles, including the number-one hits "Hold On," "Release Me," and "You're in Love." For the album and its singles, Wilson Phillips earned five Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year, for "Hold On." The group followed its huge success with the album "Shadows and Light," which came out in 1992 and reached number four on the Billboard 200. However, it failed to yield any singles as successful as those on Wilson Phillips' first album. After the release of "Shadows and Light," Chynna Phillips left the band, resulting in the group's dissolution.
In 2003, the Wilson sisters reunited with Phillips to record the first Wilson Phillips studio album in over a decade: "California." Released in the spring of 2004, the album peaked at number 35 on the Billboard 200. The group later released the 2010 Christmas album "Christmas in Harmony." Two years after that, Wilson Phillips put out "Dedicated," consisting of covers of songs by both the Beach Boys and the Mamas & the Papas. In the summer of 2016, the group got together again to perform on the ABC program "Greatest Hits."
In summary, the total wealth of Wendy Wilson reflects strategic moves.
