Girl Talk

Girl Talk (duo)

Girl Talk were a British girl group, formed by Karen Wright and Leigh Pearce. The girls, aged 12 and 13 respectively, released their debut single, "Can the Rhythm", in 1983 on Park Records. By the next year Pearce had been replaced by Karen's sister, Julie Wright. In March 1984, the duo took part in the Irish National Song Contest; the heat for Eurovision Song Contest, with the song "Problems". Later that year they signed to Innervision Records and released the single "Marvellous Guy" in 1984, produced by Peter Collins, but it failed to chart. Their only hit in the UK was their second Innervision single, a re-recorded "Can the Rhythm", which reached #92 in October 1984. The track was an early production of the hitmaking team Stock Aitken Waterman. "Can the Rhythm" was also released in the United States, where it was released through Geffen Records and reached #26 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1985.
