Wilson Phillips first appeared in flaunting a harmony-rich sound that helped send three singles from their first album -- "Hold On," "Release Me," and "You're in Love" -- to the top of the Billboard charts. Carnie Wilson , Wendy Wilson , and Chynna Phillips comprised the vocal trio, whose sudden success was matched by an equally impressive pedigree. The two Wilson sisters had grown up in California with their father, Beach Boy bandleader Brian Wilson , and often made appearances on his albums throughout their childhood. Despite growing up alongside such icons, the girls first pursued separate careers in acting and modeling, only turning to music when Chynna having been influenced by Band Aid and Farm Aid suggested they make a charity record with other children of famous musicians.

Three tracks were number one singles; two others, "Impulsive" and "The Dream Is Still Alive," peaked at numbers four and 12, respectively.
