Peaches & Herb, an American vocal duo, carved a niche for themselves in the music world with their soulful and upbeat tracks. Formed in Washington, D.C., in the mid-1960s, the duo initially consisted of Herb Fame and Francine "Peaches" Hurd Barker. Barker, the original "Peaches," was replaced by Linda Greene in the early 1970s, marking the beginning of the group's most successful period. Their music spanned various styles, including soul, disco, and R&B, making them a versatile act that could cater to different audiences.

Perhaps best known for their 1978 hit "Shake Your Groove Thing" and the tender ballad "Reunited," which soared to the top of the charts in 1979, Peaches & Herb became symbols of the disco era, while also showcasing their ability to capture the essence of romantic soul music. Over the years, the duo has seen multiple iterations of "Peaches," but Herb Fame remained the constant, guiding force behind their enduring appeal. Their recent works, including re-recorded and remastered versions of their greatest hits, demonstrate their timeless appeal and ongoing influence in the music industry, as they continue to bring their classic sound to new generations of listeners. With albums like "Golden Duets" and "Colors Of Love," Peaches & Herb have solidified their legacy as icons of R&B and soul music, beloved by fans for their dynamic performances and memorable melodies.
