After disbanding in 1984, Chrissie provided vocals for Rick Wakeman while Lyndsay issued a solo album, The Raven (1997).
Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane opined that the sisters "were the archetypal 1970s sex bombs with big hair.
[3] [5] From 1974, Lyndsay fronted a group, Skintight, for three years[2][6] and toured backing Renée Geyer before forming Cheetah.
(Skintight)[8] Chrissie was a member of the group Eli Flash[6] prior to undertaking the role of Mary Magdalene, from May 1975, in the second Australian musical theatre production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
[2] Cheetah were managed by Brian de Courcy and initially signed with Philips Records, which issued their debut single, "Love Ain't Easy to Come By", in 1977—without the group's permission.
[2][6] They switched to Albert Music and recorded a cover version of "Walking in the Rain", originally by The Ronettes, which peaked at No.
[8] Cheetah gained popularity in Europe, especially "Germany where the girls had a big hit with 'Deeper Than Love'",[15] which sold 96,000 copies.
[2][6] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt Cheetah had "turned their attentions to AC/DC-styled hard rock with some success.
They used various local musicians: Dave Dowell, Martin Dzal, Tom Evans, Ant Glyn, Rod Roche, Eddie Sparrow and Chris West.
