The Chimes were a British dance music trio, which consisted of Pauline Henry (born in Jamaica) with Mike Peden and James Locke from Edinburgh, Scotland. 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 10 hit.[1]
Chart success
In the US, they reached the Billboard Hot 100 with the song "1-2-3", at No. 86 in 1990.[2] It spent two weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, and its follow-up, "Heaven", was also a No. 1 dance chart hit.[3]
Bono from U2 commented that the Chimes' cover of their hit "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was the "only cover version he had heard that he enjoyed and did the original justice", adding "at last someone's come along to sing it properly".Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
A self-titled album was released in 1990, reaching number 17 on the UK Albums Chart.[4]
Pauline Henry has also enjoyed dance club success as a solo artist with five hits in the UK top 40, including "Feel Like Making Love", "Too Many People", "Can't Take Your Love", "Love Hangover" and "Never Knew Love Like This" (the latter featuring Wayne Marshall).[5][6]
Henry performed at Bestival 2012 on the Isle of Wight with her band which included Bestival compere Scott Anderson on bass guitar.
