West End Girls were a Canadian pop band in the early 1990s.
The band was formed in Vancouver by producers John Dexter and John Livingston, and consisted of three teenaged girls, Camille Henderson, Aimee MacKenzie and Silvana Petrozzi. After several months of performing lessons with Henderson's father, Bill Henderson (Famed lead singer of Chilliwack), the trio recorded and released their debut album, West End Girls, on Johnny Jet Records in 1991. That album produced the Top 40 hits "Not Like Kissing You", "I Want You Back", "Say You'll Be Mine" and "Show Me The Way".
Petrozzi left the band within a few months, and was replaced by Janele Woodley. Henderson later also left and was replaced by Celia-Louise Martin. The band's new lineup released the album We Belong Together in 1993, and included the singles "R U Sexin' Me" and "Sexy", but did not have any further substantial hits and broke up the following year.
They received a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising New Group in 1992 and they also toured with Roxette on the Canadian leg of that group's 1992 Canadian Tour,
