The Chimes (Scottish band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chimes were a successful dance music trio from Scotland, featuring vocalist Pauline Henry (born 29 January 1961, in Edinburgh) with Mike Peden and James Locke. They are best known for their hits "Heaven" and a remake of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," which became a UK Top Ten hit.

[edit] Chart success

In the U.S. they reached the Billboard Hot 100 with the song "1-2-3," at #86 in 1990. It spent two weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, and its follow-up, "Heaven," was a #1 dance chart hit.

Bono from U2 famously commented that the Chimes' cover of their hit "I Still Haven't Found What Im Looking For" was the "only cover version he had heard that he enjoyed and did the original justice".

Henry has also enjoyed dance club success as a solo artist with four hits in the UK Top 40, including "Feel Like Making Love", "Too Many People", "Can't Take Your Love" and "Never Knew Love Like This" (the latter featuring Wayne Marshall).
