Pepsi & Shirlie are an English pop duo group formed in London in 1985. who released two albums, All Right Now in 1987 and Change in 1991. Their debut single “Heartache“ reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The act comprised Helen “Pepsi“ DeMacque (born 10 December 1958, Paddington, London) and Shirlie Holliman (born 18 April 1962, Watford, Hertfordshire), who had been Wham! backing vocalists. Holliman’s original singing partner, Dee C. Lee, had earlier left the group to join the Style Council and later married its lead vocalist Paul Weller. Although DeMacque had ambitions to be a solo performer after Wham!, Holliman convinced her that it would be best to proceed as a duo. In 1987, they released their debut single “Heartache“, which was produced by Phil Fearon and Tambi Fernando and reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart. “Heartache“ also peaked at number two on the American dance charts. Although featuring a credit for super producers Stock Aitken Waterman on many pressings of the single, “Heartache“ was never worked on by the trio – with all additional production work and remixing done by Pete Hammond on behalf of Pete Waterman.
