Chéri was a female dance music duo originating from Montreal, Canada, consisting of American vocalist Rosalind Milligan Hunt and Canadian singer Lise Cullerier. Their most notable achievement was the 1982 Billboard top 40 single, "Murphy's Law".
History
The partnership between Hunt and Cullerier began after encouragement from Hunt's mother, the singer Geraldine Hunt. They adopted the name Chéri and released "Murphy's Law" in 1982. This track became their only appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching a peak position of #39. Additionally, it topped the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, distinguished by its accelerated vocal chorus. The song was penned by Geraldine Hunt and Daniel Joseph and issued under Venture Records.
Capitalizing on this momentum, Chéri followed up with the single "Give It to Me Baby" and an album titled Murphy's Law, which included their successful single. Some recordings featured Amy Roslyn substituting for Cullerier. In 1983, they released another album named Love Stew through 21 Records.
