Peaches & Herb is an American vocal duo formed in 1966. Herb Fame (born October 1, 1942) has remained a constant as "Herb" while seven different women have filled the role of "Peaches", most notably Francine "Peaches" Hurd Barker (April 28, 1947 – August 13, 2005), the original "Peaches" who lent her nickname to the duo, and Linda Greene, the third "Peaches", who appeared on the duo's biggest hits "Shake Your Groove Thing" (1978) and "Reunited" (1979).
The duo remains known due to the continued popularity of the disco staple "Shake Your Groove Thing", which has featured prominently in many motion pictures like An Extremely Goofy Movie, Monster, and Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, as well as in an advertisement campaign by Intel from the late 1990s.
