Inspired by many of the groups and artistes from the 1960s and early 1970s, they practised diligently together and went on to win a singing competition at the Bali Hai nightclub that stood next door to the Streatham Ice Rink in London.

Bali Hai was synonymous with reggae music in the mid-1970s with one of the top-ranking sound systems in South London, Soferno B, taking a residence in the club on Sunday nights.

Catlin came across an article in the local press about a young girl named Carol Simms who wanted to be a singer and could play the piano.

Catlin convinced Simms to join her and Wheeler to form a singing trio, mirroring the American black girl groups of the 1960s like The Shirelles, The Crystals, The Ronettes and The Chantels.

Working with Studio 16 producer Winston Edwards, and inspired by Pat Kelly's hit "I Am So Proud", the trio released their own version of the Impressions' classic on the Decca/Studio 16 label in 1979.

During the 1980s Catlin began performing on the gospel circuit with a group called "Chosen" and in 2012 she relaunched a solo career under the moniker of Shezekiel.
