biography

The duo consists of Danny Wilde (* as Danny Thomas on June 3, 1956 in Maine , USA) and Phil Solem (* July 1, 1956 in Duluth , Minnesota ), who made music together since the mid-1970s. From 1981 to 1989 they were members of the band Great Buildings. In 1989 they decided to set up their own project and decided on the name The Rembrandts because the name "sounds good". Her first success was the single Just the Way It Is, Baby , a top 20 hit in Germany , Austria and the USA in 1991 . Her best-known song, however, is I'll Be There for You , the theme music of the 1994 sitcom Friends , which took 3rd place in the British charts in 1995 and also made it into the top 20 in the USA. After two more albums, the duo temporarily separated in 1997.

Solem returned to Minneapolis to concentrate on his band Thrush, Wilde continued under the band name Danny Wilde & the Rembrandts and released the album Spin This in 1998 . However, since he could not achieve any success like Solem, there was a reunion in 2001 and the feedback with the album Lost Together .
