How long has Escalera been a member

It seems to me that Evelyn Escalera has not really been a Cover Girl for that long, as the 1996 album "Satisfy" only credits Michelle Valentine as a vocalist, and there were no pictures of the girls at all in the CD cover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.10.248 (talk • contribs) 00:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)‎[reply]

~ Evelyn Escalera did not participate on the Satisfy album. She was still a member of the group but was on a hiatis for personal reasons. She returned shortly after the release of "I Am Woman". But has always been a member of the group.

Table

At some point recently, the chart table got screwed up, and I don't know how to fix it. Does anybody else? Zephyrnthesky (talk) 03:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Escalera v. Valentine

There's conflicting info on the Fever Records site.

An article about Sal Abbatiello, I think sourced from Dance Music Authority magazine, says

“We’re opening up for New Kids on the Block,” Abbatiello recalls, “and we’re ready to blow up. ‘We Can’t Go Wrong’ comes out. It’s number five on the pop charts and everything was going great. Right in the middle of the tour Angel thought it was her chance to get out of the group and go solo, and she walks out on us.” After missing several tour dates, Angel returned to the group, but the damage had already been done. The Cover Girls were dropped from Capitol Records and Angel left the group to pursue her solo career. “Like I said, I always have the foresight,” states Abbatiello. “I knew things were changing and I said, ‘We have to change the sound.’” Michelle Valentine was brought in to replace Angel as the lead singer, and with the new Cover Girls lineup in place, and two introductory singles “Don’t Stop Now,” and its huge radio-hit B-side “Funk Boutique,” their cover of “Wishing On A Star” flew up the charts to number two. True to the record industry handbook, Michelle Valentine soon wanted out of the group to pursue a solo career and once again, the Cover Girls lost their deal with Epic Records.

Meanwhile, the Cover Girls bio page doesn't mention Valentine at all. It just says

Evelyn Escalera entered the group in 1990, as the new lead singer. She finished touring with the group for the “We Can't Go Wrong” album tour and in 1991, when the Cover Girls released their next new single, “Funk Boutique,” it was Evelyn's first recording as the new lead singer.

So who sang on "Funk Boutique"? Michelle Valentine or Evelyn Escalera? —mjb (talk) 05:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~ Evelyn Escalera sang lead vocals on "Funk Boutique". Evelyn Escalera was orginally brought in as the lead singer after Angel left. But then Michelle Valentine was brought in when Margo Urban left and Michelle Valentine and Evelyn Escalera were both considered Co-Lead Vocalists.

1. Wishing On A Star - Michelle
