What Happened To Wendy And Lisa From The Revolution?

Prince Band Members Wendy And Lisa played the guitars and the keyboards respectively for The Revolution. Lisa joined the band first, and then Wendy.

Wendy Melvoin

Wendy Melvoin, born Wendy Ann Melvoin, is a Guitarist and singer-songwriter. She was born on January 26, 1964, and is 59 years old.

The guitarist first met Prince in 1980, through Lisa, as Prince would stay at their house whenever he came to LA. Due to their closeness, Wendy would constantly be at Prince's shows.

He asked her to join the band after he heard her play the guitar when his previous guitarist, Dez Dickerson, didn't appear during a soundcheck. Soon after, she would become one of, if not the most popular, Revolution members after Prince.

Lisa Coleman

Lisa Coleman was the pianist and Keyboardist for The Revolution. She was born on August 17, 1960, and is currently 62 years old.

Coleman too met Prince through a friend, Niki Yoergler, who was then working as Prince's manager, Steve Fargnoli's secretary. She got Coleman an audition to be a part of Prince's backing band, which would eventually become the Revolution.

Like Wendy, she would become prominent in the public eye as part of the Revolution and aside from Prince and Wendy, would become the most recognized member.

Here are all the members of The Revolution and how long they were in the band:

Why Did Prince And The Revolution Break Up? Prince broke up The Revolution due to disputes between the singer and his band mates.

Towards the mid-1980s, Prince started working with his new selections and even ignored The Revolution. It got to a point where Wendy and Lisa, and Brownmark, all threatened to quit.

However, Prince asked Bobby Z to convince them to stay. Sadly it all came to a head when, in October 1986 after the Parade Tour, Prince invited Wendy and Lisa to a dinner at his Beverly Hills home, and fired them.

The duo then went on their own path as their own musical act, a decision they didn't regret due to having been unhappy with a lack of credit and creativity.

Wendy And Lisa Songs that have endured in popularity are 1. Waterfall 2. Are You My Baby 3. This Is The life and more. Here are their 10 most streamed songs:

After The Revolution broke up, the duo started recording their own music, and released their eponymous debut album in 1987, via Columbia Records.

The self-titled debut yielded their only song to chart in the US, Waterfall, which remains their biggest song. The duo would go on to release another album, Fruit at the Bottom, via Columbia Records in 1989.

They would follow that record with Eroica in 1990 but through Virgin Records. Their next two albums, Girl Bros. in 1998 and White Flags of Winter Chimneys in 2008, are both self released.

Are Wendy And Lisa Lovers? The two did date in the past and were in a long-term relationship for much of their life.

However, the relationship is now no longer romantic, but the two continue to work and create music together. Wendy would go on to have a long-term relationship with another woman, Lisa Cholodenko, a film director, with whom she has a son.

Wendy And Lisa released their last studio album in 2008. Since then, they have been working on film scores and collaborating with other musical acts.

Some of the biggest acts they have worked with are Sheryl Crow, Madonna, Eric Clapton, and Mac Miller. Their most recent work was on the 2019 comedy film, Wine Country.

Their work has also been highly lauded, that too in recent years. They won an Emmy Award in 2010 for their work on Nurse Jackie and were nominated again in 2012 for the Fox show Touch.
