Musician Nini Nobless died on 21 August 2023 from cancer at Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal. She was 74 years old. Her death was confirmed to the CBC through her manager, Yvon Lafrance. Nobless was best known as one-half of the Canadian musical duo, Lime, in which she performed as Denis Le Page with her then-wife, Denyse Le Page. I had begun writing an essay about Lime in July but the more I dug into Nobless/Le Page’s life, the more overwhelmed I was by the sheer volume of music in which she’d had a hand… and by the difficulty in arranging it into something cohesive. I found Nini Nobless’s Facebook page and considered reaching out to her. I’m an introvert, though, and it’s easier for me to sift through fragments of information written, more often than not, in French, than it is for me to reach out to a stranger online. Never meet your heroes, and all that. Now that Nobless has passed, though I’m left with no option and so here is my attempt to honor her under-recognized genius. Requiescant in pace to a true chameleon.
MY LIME STORY
I first heard Lime when I worked at Amoeba (sometime between 2001 and 2009). I immediately enjoyed it but at first thought that it was some sort of joke. I’ve made the same mistake several times over

Origin: Montréal, Québec, 🇨🇦
Biography:
Denis LePage and Joe La Greca were the brainchild of this Canadian disco group. First LP included the disco classic "The break", which was so popular it continued to be played well into the 1980's and was remixed several times. This was originally issued in the US on T.K. Disco records although the original release was on Canada's Unidisc records. This first album also includes disco classics "Don't stop keep on", "There's only been a few" and "Djaga boogie woogie". Backing vocals included Cissy Houston.
Their second LP, "Get Crackin'", followed in 1980 and was more downtempo and funky. This album featured orchestration by Ritchie Rome of the Ritchie Family, who also co-wrote two of the tracks.
The third album, "The Kat Is Back" was released in 1982.
The third album Kat Mandu album includes "Hot wax" and was released on Brass records.
Every now and then a song comes along that helps define an era, in 1979 that song was "The Break." A rousing high energy instrumental that to this day packs dance floors. When that song emerged it was believed to be by a group, speculation was that it was a "studio" group fronted by Joe LaGreca and Denis LePage. Of course LePage and LaGreca were part of the process
