English-born sisters Mel and Kim Appleby rose to prominence in the late 80s thanks to the producing team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman. In late 1986, Mel and Kim released their debut single, Respectable. The song combined 80s dance-pop with Stock, Aitken & Watermans trademark slick production. Respectable became a huge international success, helping to launch their debut album F.L.M. up the charts in 1987. The album produced two other singles: F.L.M. and Showing Out.
F.L.M. was to be the sisters only album. In 1988, Mel was diagnosed with cancer and died of the disease early in 1990. Kim recorded a solo album in the early 90s, but it was not as successful as her work with Mel and Kim.
