Mari Wilson (born Mari MacMillan Ramsey Wilson, 29 September 1957, in London), is an English singer, best known for her sometimes quirky, early 1960s influenced pop music songs, and her (former) trademark beehive hairdo.
She enjoyed six chart hits in the UK in the early 1980s, performed with jazz bands, and sang the theme-song to the TV sitcom Coupling, “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps”.
She has also performed in musicals, and has been a feature on a BBC TV series about celebrities and their health (she has Type 1 Diabetes).
Her band was colloquially known as The Wilsations and her backing singers were called The Marionettes. Occasional featured artists were Michelle Collins (Cindy from EastEnders) and bassist ‘Thumbs’ Cunningham.
In a June 2007 newsletter by Mari on her website, she revealed that her classic 1983 album ‘Showpeople’ would be reissued in the UK for the first time on CD in September 2007. She also mentioned that she might be going on a UK tour to support the release - playing some of her earliest songs for her fans.
Mari is a long time resident of Crouch End in North London.

I've just been going around the web listening to many versions of Cry Me a River. Maybe because Mari's was the first time i heard the song, maybe not, but I think it is a superb rendition.

I had thought the album Show People one of the absolute best feel-good singalong albums EVER was lost for good until this Platinum Collection was released which includes that whole album, brilliant!

I don't have this version, but lastfm does have the CAKES version, and it's pretty good, also there's one by Emma Bunton here that's similar to the original.

It never occurred to me to buy the damned thing. I didn't think for one second iTunes would have it. You won't admit you love me....

I definitely have Wilson, not Day (not that I object to Day). If you paid for the download, I assume that you kicked up a stink; what did they say?

At least 5 new English pennies!! (Actually, I'll be impressed if you have it. I've downloaded it over 50 times and each time it's been the Doris version...)

I saw Mari Wilson sing Perhaps,Perhaps last week and it sounded pretty good to me :)

I'd lay good money on nobody having Mari singing Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps and that it's simply the Doris Day version mis-tagged!
