Celebrate Mel & Kim's Irreplaceable Pop Anthem Respectable!
On this day in 1987, Mel & Kim scored a chart-topping classic with ‘Respectable’ - a fearless, attitude-packed pop anthem that became the first Stock Aitken Waterman production to reach #1 in the UK.
Combining streetwise personality with cutting-edge house-influenced production, sisters Mel & Kim Appleby captured the spirit of late-80s pop and conquered dance floors around the world. Following their breakthrough with ‘Showing Out’, ‘Respectable’ cemented their place as global pop icons - bold, stylish and unmistakably original.
Taken from their platinum-selling album F.L.M., which reached #3 in the UK and featured three Top Ten hits, the track remains one of the defining sounds of the era and a reminder of the pioneering pop/house crossover crafted by the PWL team.
Today we celebrate the legacy of Mel & Kim - their music, their impact, and the timeless energy that still feels as fresh as ever ❤️
