Chéri was a Canadian female dance music duo from Montreal, consisting of American Rosalind Milligan Hunt and Canadian Lise Cullerier. They had one Billboard top 40 hit, "Murphy's Law", in 1982.[1]
Friends Hunt and Cullerier began singing together at the suggestion of Hunt's mother, singer Geraldine Hunt.[2] Calling their duo Chéri, in 1982 they recorded a single, "Murphy's Law", which became their only Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at #39.[3] The song also hit number-one on the BillboardHot Dance Music/Club Play chart and is notable for its speed-up vocal chorus ("got it all together, dontcha baby"). The song was written by Geraldine Hunt and Daniel Joseph, and released on Venture Records.[4]
Chéri continued to record, following up with another single "Give It to Me Baby",[5] and also that year released an album, Murphy's Law, which included the hit single. Some of Chéri's recordings featured Amy Roslyn instead of Cullerier.[6]
In 1983 the band released the album Love Stew through the label 21 Records.[7]
