Afrodiziak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Afrodiziak were the British singers Caron Wheeler and Claudia Fontaine. They were best known for singing the backing vocals on Elvis Costello's 1983 album Punch the Clock (and on the international hit "Everyday I Write the Book"). They also sang for British dance pop outfit Heaven 17 and (as a trio, with Naomi Thompson) backed Howard Jones on two albums.

Caron Wheeler went on to fame as a vocalist in the dance/R&B collective Soul II Soul (she was the lead vocalist on the group's two smash 1989 hits "Keep on Movin'" and "Back to Life") and had a brief career as a solo artist. Fontaine continued work as a backing vocalist on albums by EMF, Neneh Cherry and Hothouse Flowers, among others.
