The Story

Formed1982OriginUnited StatesGenrepopular musicLabelA&M RecordsMembersGeorge Merrill

Picture a sun-drenched summer afternoon, the air filled with the sweet sound of synths and dreamy vocals. That’s the vibe George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam, the dynamic duo known as Boy Meets Girl, brought to the pop scene. Originating from the U.S., these artists captured hearts with their infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Their standout track, "Waiting for a Star to Fall," became an anthem for those yearning for love and connection. Beyond their own hits, they penned iconic tracks for Whitney Houston, including "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody." With their knack for crafting timeless tunes, Boy Meets Girl continues to evoke nostalgia and remind us of the magic found in the music of yesteryear.
