Shannon

Shannon - born, Brenda Shannon Greene, in Washington, D.C., USA. Shannon is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Shannon is best known for her 1984 U.S. Top 10 & U.K. Top 20 dance classic, "Let The Music Play". She grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and studied both singing and dance as a child. Shannon was attending York University when she recorded "Let The Music Play", originally for Emergency Records.

In 1983, Mirage Records, a division of Atlantic Records, picked up distribution of the single, which had been setting clubs alight for several months. It subsequently made its way to number 2 on the U.S. R&B charts and number 8 pop. The follow-up, "Give Me Tonight", also reached the R&B Top 10 but did not make the pop Top 40. In the U.K., she gained two further chart hits with "Give Me Tonight" and "Sweet Somebody" both reaching the Top 30 in 1984.

Shannon had one final pop chart single, "Do You Wanna Get Away", in 1985, but continued to place on the R&B charts for another year, finally achieving a total of seven singles on that chart. Her debut album, Let The Music Play, also charted.

During the 90's, she continued to tour and also appeared in several off-Broadway productions. She returned to the studio in the late 90's as featured vocalist on hits by Todd Terry ("It's Over Love") and Sash! ("Move Mania"). Her first album in over 10 years, the trance-influenced “The Best Is Yet To Come”, was released in March 2000.
