BIOGRAPHY CHRISTINE WILTSHIRE
Singer Christine Wiltshire , originally a native of Brooklyn, New York started her professional career as in the Luther Vandross quintet LUTHER in 1976 and broke through internationally with the Patrick Adams's group MUSIQUE by 1978 with international hits as "In The Bush" and "Keep On Jumpin' ", which resulted in a Gold Record for album Musique and her group was nominated Bill...board’s “Best Girl Group” as part of the group “Musique” in 1978. She also composed for the group.

She got her biggest hit song with "Weekend", originally recorded by Patrick Adams' studio group PHREEK of which Wiltshire was a member. The song was heavily played by Larry Levan yet it was commercially unavailable so it did not enter any charts in 1976. In the early 1980s, William Socolov, the co-owner of Sleeping Bag Records, invited Levan to make a new version of "Weekend". It became more successful than the original version, CLASS ACTION FEAT.
