Wa Wa Nee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wa Wa Nee was an Australian funk/pop band active from approximately 1985 to 1989.

Led by the songwriting team of Paul Gray and Steve Williams, the band signed with CBS Records in 1985. Wa Wa Nee had four singles in the Australian Top 40 from their debut release of the same name. They included Stimulation which reached number 1 Nationally in Australia in 1986, I Could make You Love Me, reaching the top 10 in the same year, and both One And One (Ain't I Good Enough) and Sugar Free making the top 40 .The latter also reaching the U.S top 30, although this was their only success there.

The band's self titled debut album went platinum in Australia.

Their follow-up L.P Blush was released in 1989, and spawned two more top 40 hits in Australia - Can't Control Myself, and the religiously motivated So Good. The album however, received a luke-warm response, and the band has not charted in Australia since.
