Terri Wells is an American soul singer.
Career
Wells started out in 1975 as a singer with the Philadelphia group, City Limits, which recorded one single and one album. She was then recruited as a session singer for Philadelphia International Records.
In 1983, producer Nick Martinelli suggested she be signed to the Philly World label as a solo artist, and her debut single, "You Make It Heaven", was a minor hit in the United Kingdom. The follow-up, a cover of The Detroit Spinners' track "I'll Be Around", reached the top 20 in Britain, and she performed the song on Top of the Pops.Although some sources suggest she was a backing singer on the original, there is no contemporary evidence for this.
Following this success, she recorded an album, Just Like Dreamin', but it missed the charts, and none of her three follow-up singles (on which she was a co-writer) charted on the main listings.
