Messin' With The Boys
''Messin' with the Boys'' (1980) is the second album by American singer Cherie Currie, and the first to feature her sister Marie Currie as a major contributor. Their band was called ''Cherie and Marie Currie''. Marie was a guest vocalist on Cherie's first album, so Marie went on tour with Cherie to support her first album, ''Beauty's Only Skin Deep''. When Marie would join Cherie on stage to sing the encores, the audience would go wild. Cherie then ran with the idea that two blonds are better than one. The idea paid off because ''Messin' with the Boys'' received more radio play than ''Beauty's Only Skin Deep'', and their song "Since You Been Gone" made it to 95 on US charts.
