Sheena Easton

In January 2005 Sheena appeared in the television series Young Blades.. Roberta flack holds a BA degree in Music, and a little known fact is that she actually taught Music briefly at several campuses within the University of North Carolina. The passengers paused in awe, then went on singing. She began working with Peabo Bryson with more limited success, though she has charted with "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" (1983; see 1983 in music) and "Set the Night to Music" (1991; see 1991 in music), a duet with Maxi Priest. Sheena boarded the train at Burnley Station, and screamed. She and Hathaway continued recording successfully together until Hathaway's suicide in 1979 (see 1979 in music). A number of unrealistically happy passengers in an unrealistically underpatronised morning train were singing Morning Train. Flack soon began working with Hathaway, with her second number one hit being "Killing Me Softly with His Song" (1973; see 1973 in music).

In April and May 2004, Sheena visited Australia and featured in a kooky TV commercial for Connex in Melbourne. Flack began her professional career recording for Atlantic Records without much success, until one of her earliest recordings, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", (1969) was included on the soundtrack to Play Misty for Me, becoming a #1 hit in 1972 (see 1972 in music). She lives there with her two adopted children. Roberta Flack (born February 10, 1939) is an American singer, and considered by many a musical genius in the areas of jazz, soul, and folk, best known for singles like "Killing Me Softly with His Song" and "Where Is the Love", many of which were duets with Donny Hathaway. Since 2000 Sheena has appeared in a Broadway-style show in Las Vegas. Sheena continued acting in America, starring in Broadway revivals of Man Of La Mancha (1992) and Grease (1996).

She recently enjoyed some success with a song entitled "Fabulous" and has also become something of a gay icon. Four more albums would be released, but were only available in Europe and the Far East. In 1991, What Comes Naturally became the last of Sheena’s albums to chart in the U.S. The song also appeared on her next album The Lover In Me, a moderate success which was released the following autumn.

By the spring of 1988 the latest installment of the Miami Vice Soundtrack was released, and featured the song “Follow My Rainbow”, which Sheena sang on her tragic last appearance, just moments before her character was fatally shot. Sonny and Caitlin were married by the episode’s end, and the fourth-season’s sagging ratings were boosted so much that the producers signed Sheena to five more episodes. In November of 1987 Sheena made her first dramatic acting appearance on the television programme Miami Vice playing a singer named Caitlin Davies, whom Sonny Crockett was assigned to protect until she made a court appearance. Around this same time she also recorded a Grammy-winning Spanish-language album, Todo me recuerda a ti and scored a country music hit with "We've Got Tonight", a duet with Kenny Rogers.

Her move towards a more sexy image with "Strut" was met with mixed reactions from diehard fans, and she was also one of the first artists to have a music video banned based upon lyrics rather than imagery when some broadcasters refused to play her Prince-penned, sexually risque "Sugar Walls." Despite of (or perhaps because of) the controversy, the album A Private Heaven which featured "Strut" and "Sugar Walls" became her biggest seller. Later, she also found success with the songs “Strut” (1984) and her 1987 duet with Prince “U Got The Look”. Her best known early musical work is probably the James Bond movie theme “For Your Eyes Only”, and “Morning Train” (which was originally titled "9 to 5" in its British release but was renamed for American issue to avoid confusion with the Dolly Parton song "Nine to Five"). This culminated in a deal with EMI Records.

Sheena first shot to fame on the United Kingdom television programme The Big Time which followed her attempts to gain a record contract. Sheena Easton (born Sheena Shirley Orr) is a pop singer born in Belshill, Scotland in April 1959.
