Sisters Melanie (July 11, 1966 - January 18, 1990) and Kimberly (born August 28, 1961) to British and Jamaican parents, were noticed dancing in a nightclub in their native London UK and signed to a recording contract with Supreme Records under the guidance of production team Stock Aitken Waterman in 1986, and began releasing records under the name of Mel & Kim.
“System” was intended as their first single, but they and the producers were unhappy with it, and it became the “B-side” of their first single “Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend)” which reached number three on the British charts and got the no #1 status in the Dance charts of USA. Their next single “Respectable” reached number one in Britain and became one of the year’s biggest hits. They became well known celebrities, particularly in Britain, and were known for their visual style which combined urban street wear with high fashion; prior to their music career Mel had worked as a fashion model. Their single “FLM” reached #7 in the UK, while “That’s the Way It Is” reached #10, giving them their last two Top Ten singles.
During a promotional visit to Japan in June 1987, Mel became ill with a suspected spinal disc herniation, after complaining of a back problem for several months. Upon returning to the UK, Mel was diagnosed with secondary cancer of the spine, after previously being treated for liver cancer when she was 18, prior to the duo’s rise to fame.

I'm slightly freaked that Mel died so young (my age) it's a definite shock to the system... A real reality check! RIP Mel x

The jewel in SAW's crown, their three big hits are all superb examples of how genuinely good manufactured 1980s pop music could be. I suspect they were a big inspiration for the Spice Girls.
