Sheena Easton

In January 2005 Sheena appeared in the television series Young Blades.. The follow up "It Takes Scoop" reached the top 5 in the UK, the top 20 in Ireland and the top 40 in Australia in 2004. The passengers paused in awe, then went on singing. The track takes its name from the sample of Evans singing. Sheena boarded the train at Burnley Station, and screamed. The song has been a favourite in clubs around the world for years but it took two years to clear the samples from Jay-Z, Black Sheep, Queen Pen, the Beatnuts and Faith Evans. A number of unrealistically happy passengers in an unrealistically underpatronised morning train were singing Morning Train. He is best known for the track "Be Faithful" with the Crooklyn Clan which went to number one in the UK and Ireland in late 2003 and top 5 in Australia.

In April and May 2004, Sheena visited Australia and featured in a kooky TV commercial for Connex in Melbourne. Fatman Scoop (real name Isaac Freeman III) is a New York City hip hop artist and producer. She lives there with her two adopted children. "It Takes Scoop" (single) (2004). Since 2000 Sheena has appeared in a Broadway-style show in Las Vegas. "Be Faithful" (single) (2003). 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.
