Here It Is is an album by the American music group The Cover Girls, released in 1992.[2][3]
"Wishing on a Star" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100; "Funk Boutique" and "Thank You" peaked at Nos. 55 and 75, respectively.[4]
"Wishing on a Star" is a cover of the song made famous by Rose Royce.[5][6] The album was recorded with new vocalist Michelle Valentine along with previous members Caroline Jackson and Evelyn Escalera. In 1990 Evelyn Escalera joined Carline Jackson and Margo Urban as the lead singer of The Cover Girls. The group released the song "Don't Stop Now" and was signed to Epic Records. The single for "Don't Stop Now" was released with the B-Side "Funk Boutique". Once Radio and Club DJ's began playing the B-Side "Funk Boutique" the song was quickly released as a single and promotion changed to favor "Funk Boutique". Shortly after the release of "Funk Boutique" Margo Urban left the group. Wanting to take the group in a different direction Fever Records brought in Michelle Valentine to join the group as a co-lead vocalist along with Evelyn Escalera. After the success of "Wishing On A Star" the group recorded a Spanish Version on the song entitled "Estrella Del Amor". The song was very successful in Brazil at that time. The song was a love theme for a popular Soap Opera in Brazil. Soon after the release of "Thank You" Caroline Jackson left the group. Evelyn and Michelle continued to perform as a duo. "If You Want My Love (Here It Is)" was the final single released from the album.[7] Tony Moran contributed production and writing work on the album.[8]
