Lime is a disco ensemble originating from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, initially formed by the married duo Denis and Denyse LePage. They gained prominence in 1981 with their US Dance chart-topping single "Your Love". The band remained active as late as 2018, although the Lime name has also been used by other musicians.
History
Denis LePage first released the instrumental 12" track "The Break" in 1979 under the alias Kat Mandu on Unidisc Records, which climbed to number three on Billboard's Disco chart. Lime's first album, Your Love, was launched in 1981 and featured the title song that earned gold certification and reached number one on the US Billboard Disco chart. Their follow-up album in 1982, Lime II, included the track "Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight", which achieved a peak position of #6 on the Billboard Dance Chart.
Although mainly linked with Unidisc, Lime also had associations with Matra Records. Later in their career, Denis underwent gender transition but continued to perform alongside Denyse. Additionally, performers Joy Dorris and Rob Hubertz have performed under the Lime moniker.
Denis LePage died of cancer on August 21, 2023, at the age of 74.
