Band

Members: Chynna Phillips, Wendy Wilson, Carnie Wilson

Wilson Phillips is an American pop music group made up of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips. The group is known for its tight harmonies and melodic pop sound, and they rose to fame in the early 1990s.

Carnie and Wendy Wilson are the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and Chynna Phillips is the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips from The Mamas & the Papas — so the group was basically a next-gen supergroup of classic California rock royalty.

Their debut album, "Wilson Phillips" (1990), was a massive hit, featuring chart-topping singles like "Hold On," "Release Me," and "You're in Love." "Hold On" in particular became an iconic empowerment anthem and was even featured in the movie "Bridesmaids."

They had a few follow-up albums and have reunited for various projects over the years, including a Christmas album and a covers record featuring songs by their famous parents' bands.
