Kimi and Ritz
Kimi and Ritz were a short-lived English pop vocal duo in the early 1970s, comprising Richard O'Brien (best known as the creator of cult stage musical ''The Rocky Horror Show'') and his then wife, Kimi Wong O'Brien. Although the duo only recorded six songs (of which two were never even released), they have since acquired something of a cult reputation in the light of O'Brien's subsequent success as a performer and songwriter.
==Background==
In 1971, Richard O'Brien and his girlfriend Kimi Wong were struggling actors, performing in the English touring production of the stage musical ''Hair''. During this time they befriended fellow cast member John Sinclair and, through him, John's childhood friend Andrew (Andy) Leighton, a budding record engineer.〔"Andrew O'Bonzo: A Talk with Richard O'Brien's music publisher, Andy Leighton", ''Crazed Imaginations'', No 57 (May 2000), pp 12-15〕 When Sinclair left ''Hair'' after a knee injury and, he and Leighton attempted to establish their own recording studio, and then co-founded a music publishing company, Druidcrest Music. By this time, Richard O'Brien had left the cast of ''Hair'' to join the original London production of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'', although he soon left when the management disagreed over his interpretation of Herod. He and Kimi were married on December 4, 1971.〔Interview with Kimi Wong O'Brien, in Scott Michaels and David Evans, ''Rocky Horror: From Concept to Cult'', London: Sanctuary Publishing, 2002, pp 43-61.〕 After the birth of their son the following April, Kimi re-joined the cast of ''Hair'' (playing the featured role of Chrissie) while O'Brien stayed home and looked after their son while working on the script that would eventually become ''The Rocky Horror Show''.〔 During that time, John Sinclair and Andy Leighton were frequent visitors to O'Brien's flat and, after initially signing him to their publishing company, subsequently made him a full partner in it.〔 The three men duly adopted the pseudonym of Andrew O'Bonzo to describe themselves, and launched a music production company, Rich Teaboy Productions.
