Perri

The Perri Sisters (Carol, Darlene, Lori & Sharon) first started performing in their high-school days, proceeding from high school events to the local club circuit.
In 1982 they were inspired to sing together again after attending a Pat Metheny concert. The sisters put together a tape featuring cover versions of Pat’s songs, and two days later Pat invited them to join him for a recording session. Following live appearances with Pat in 1983 and 1985, they signed with Zebra Records (via MCA) and recorded a debut album Celebrate (1986), featuring two Metheny numbers, ‘Airstream Two’ and ‘Jaco Two’. Through a fortunate meeting at a doctor’s office, Anita Baker invited Perri to back her in concert for a week in Los Angeles during 1986, then extended her invitation for a year-long world tour.

In 1989, they hooked up with Spike Lee for the soundtrack album to his film ‘Do The Right Thing’. That year they signed directly to MCA where they have released one album ‘Tradewinds’ (1990), which includes ‘Someone Like You’.

Perri released Back To You in 2016, on the group’s own Perri label.
