It was Helen Terry, who was also a member of The Thunderthighs who were 'the coloured girls' going "Doo-do-do-do-do-do-doo" on Lou Reed's 'Walk On The Wild Side'.

Virgin Records tried to launch her as a solo artist, but as they discovered - years before Michelle Mcmanus or Rick Waller, the world does not like overweight pop stars.

[Davethedog]

Helen Terry was born in 1956 - Walk on the wild side 1972

She never sang until Boy George met her in a club.

More than one Helen Terry possibly

Further

Thunderthighs (also known as Thunder Thighs) were a high-profile backing vocal group who quickly became artists in their own right. The trio, consisting of Karen Friedman, Dari Lalou and Casey Synge

I stand corrected - I have been told porkies - by Virgin Records when I interviewed HT on the Culture Club tour!

Apoloiges all around.
