Kim and sister Melanie made up the successful 80s pop duo,
Mel & Kim.
Under the guidance of producers Stock-Aitken-Waterman they had five
hits from 1986 to 1988 (notably the hugely popular "Showing Out" (1986)
and "Respectable" (1987)) until the partnership was brought to an end
after Mel was diagnosed with spinal cancer. Following Mel's death in
1990 Kim launched a solo career with the hit "Don't Worry" which she
had written with her then boyfriend, former Bros bassist
Craig Logan.
Several of the songs on Kim's debut album she and Mel had composed
together.
