and his songwriting wife, Denys, Lime's debut 1980 single, "Your Love," proved to be enormously popular on North American club charts and led to the release of an album by the same name that included such hit Lime songs as "You're My Magician," "(Baby) I'll Be Yours," "It's You" and "Agent 406." By 1983 Lime had achieved worldwide dance hall acclaim. Lime 3, which was released that spring, would prove to be their most popular club album yet. The first single, "Guilty" was a dark and somber departure from the previous peppy tunes, but the album also had "Angel Eyes", a romantic, highly synthesized ballad and "On the Grid" a tune about the video game craze that had universal appeal.
Sometime around 1982 or 1983 Lime had become so successful that the demand for personal appearances was enormous. Denis and Denyse chose not to tour for several reasons. Their age was one factor, neither cared to travel around the globe doing one-night stands. Another was that though both are attractive for their age group, their looks weren't what their audiences expected. After lengthy auditions two attractive blondes with similar vocal ranges were recruited to tour as Lime-- Joy Dorris and Chris Marsh. The duo toured the world during 1983 and 1984, receiving numerous awards and winning over American fans with their personal club appearances. Disc jockeys, despite knowing the truth, seemed to embrace Joy and Chris, even welcoming them to the annual Billboard Disco Forums. While appearing live the duo did sing live to prerecorded tracks and so many believed that they were in fact the original singers. By 1989's release of Brand New Day the husband and wife team had created an empire that had a life of its own, but they felt it was time to distance themselves from the electronic music scene. This was about to be the end of the road for Joy and Chris as well as Lime as hit makers, as they would never reach previous levels of success again. They will, however, always be remembered as one of the most popular bands in dance club history.
