As part of JONJ's continued dedication to our long history and the Jewish community, we will occasionally republish profiles from our historical archives. Today we present 2/3 of Wilson Phillips, as a review of their eponymous album in "Jewy Beat" magazine in 1990.

Beat it, Bangles! Time to split, Bananarama! There is a new hot girl group in town, and it's totally tubular Wilson Phillips!

Who is Wilson Phillips? Musical royalty, that's who! Chynna Phillips' parents are John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas. And Carnie and Wendy Wilson? Their dad is the one and only Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, and their mom is a righteous rocker herself, Marilyn Rovell, and she is Jewish to boot!

Don't be "Impulsive"! Whether you have to "Hold On" or need to "Release Me", after listening to these dudette divas, "You're in Love" "Over and Over" again... There is a "Reason to Believe" that Wilson Phillips will be the hottest, gnarliest girl group of the 1990s!
