Perri is an American R&B vocal group composed of a quartet of sisters.[1] Throughout their career, they have had a career their own releasing albums and had a career as session singers.[1]

History

The group composed of four sisters, Carol, Darlene, Sharon, and Lori, based in Bakersfield, California.[2][3] In 1981, their career began after seeing a Pat Metheny concert.[4][5] They sent him a demo tape and they backed him on a record by him.[5][6] They toured with him from 1983 until 1985.[5] At this time, the group moved to Los Angeles. In 1986, Anita Baker recruited the group to a concert in Los Angeles for her Rapture Tour.[3][7] In that same year, they secured a record deal with Zebra/MCA, where their debut album, Celebrate, was released.[5][2] The album peaked at No. 48 in December 1986 on the Top Jazz Albums chart.[8] The album drew inspiration from Metheny's jazz standards.[9] In 1988, they provided backing vocals for Baker's album Giving You the Best That I Got.[2] Their single, Do the Right Thing, was featured on the movie with the same title.[10] In 1990, their album, Tradewinds, was released through Geffen Records.[11][12] The album peaked at No. 30 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart.[11] In the following year, Ebony Magazine listed the album on the "Also Recommended" list of albums.[13] In 1995, they sung at Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete's wedding.[14] In the following year, they contributed to Ann Nesby's solo debut.[15]

Throughout their career, they have also contributed background on records from musical artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Herbie Hancock, Kirk Franklin, Tamela Mann, and TobyMac.[16] They also appeared on CDs by musical artists such as Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, and Brenda Russell.[17] They appeared on Houston's record, The Star Spangled Banner, on the B-side, "America the Beautiful", and was credited.[18]

In 2016, their first album in 26 years, Back to You, was released, on their own label.[1][16]
