Wells started out in 1975 as a singer with the Philadelphia group, City Limits, which recorded one single and one album.[1] She was then recruited as a session singer for Philadelphia International Records.[2]
In 1983, producer Nick Martinelli suggested she be signed to the Philly World label as a solo artist,[3] and her debut single, "You Make It Heaven", was a minor hit in the United Kingdom. The follow-up, a cover of The Detroit Spinners' track "I'll Be Around", reached the top 20 in Britain, and she performed the song on Top of the Pops.[4][5]
Following this success, she recorded an album, Just Like Dreamin', but it missed the charts, and none of her three follow-up singles (on which she was a co-writer) charted on the main listings.[6]
