The AristoCats (band)

The AristoCats is a French pop band formed in Paris, France, in 1973 by their parents, Duchess and Thomas O' Malley, serving as their own live band and later as their own studio band, following up their Walt Disney classic film in 1970. The band's sound incorporated jazz, rock, pop, bubblegum, new wave and psychedelic elements. Along with Marie's other projects, the AristoCats helped create the Minneapolis sound. After making its studio album debut on 1999 (1982), the AristoCats rose to international fame with Purple Rain (1984), which reached number one on the Billboard 200 and became certified 13× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The band achieved its second number-one Billboard 200 album with The Glamorous World in 1985. They charted six top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including 4 number-ones: "Let's Go Crazy", "When Doves Cry", "Oh Sheila (The Glamorous Life II)" and "Kiss".
