[edit] Wilson Phillips
In the late 1980s, Phillips formed the trio Wilson Phillips with her childhood friends Carnie and Wendy Wilson. The group released their self-titled debut album in 1990, and a second album, Shadows and Light, in 1992.
In 1993, Phillips left the band to start a solo music career.
In 2004, 'Wilson Phillips' reunited to record their 3rd album 'California' which featured cover tunes from 60's, 70's artists who inspired all 3 girls to become singers. The album was accompanied by a Summer Tour, and TV appearances on 'Good Morning America' and 'The Howard Stern Show.'
[edit] Solo & acting career
In 1995, Phillips released her debut solo album, Naked And Sacred. A song from the album, '"I Live for You", was featured in the film 1996 Striptease. However, the album was a commercial flop, selling a mere 22,000 copies in the U.S.[1]
