Rhapsody (musical group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rhapsody was an Australian female duo that consisted of Kymberlie Harrison and Cathy Ford. They had a minor hit (No. 95 on the ARIA singles chart) in the early 1990s called "Cowboy Lover" on BMG Records.[1]

After the promoter and record label owner Gene Pierson's success with the soap opera actor Melissa Tkautz, who had a No. 1 hit in 1991 as Melissa, he came up with the concept for Rhapsody. He styled the two models and helped them create the song that gave them success.[citation needed]

"Cowboy Lover" was originally a slow reggae song, but was remixed into a dance track by Filthy Lucre, famous for their 1991 dance remixes of Yothu Yindi's "Treaty".[citation needed]

Prior to Rhapsody, Kymberlie Harrison was a producer for Melissa's hits "Read My Lips" and "(Sexy) Is the Word",[2] written by Roy Lachlan Nicolson.[3]

At the height of their popularity the duo posed in Playboy Australia magazine, making the cover of the August 1993 edition.[citation needed]
