The Coyote Sisters

The Coyote Sisters were an American pop-rock female trio formed in 1980. Its members were Leah Kunkel, the younger sister of Cass Elliot; Marty Gwinn Townsend; and Renée Armand. Originally signed to Geffen Records until 1982, they were signed to Morocco Records, a subsidiary of Motown and released their self-titled debut LP in 1984. Lead single "Straight from the Heart (Into Your Life)" hit No. 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts and was a bigger hit on the Adult Contemporary radio stations. Subsequent singles and the album were less successful.^[1][2]
