Born Sheena Shirley Orr in Belshill,
Scotland on April 27, 1959, this lassie is a shrewd cookie.
As her UK career slowed down (quickly),
even though she did the James Bond
fillum soundtrack, "For your Eyes Only", Sheena
concentrated most of her career in the States.
Her choice of recording companions ranges
from the vomit inducing (Kenny Rogers, David Cassidy) to the
awe-inspiring (Prince).
The breadth of genres that she has tried
makes one think that this is either a truly global talent
who can transcend any medium (unlikely), or this lassie is
a chancer who moves with the flow. She has done disco, country,
jazz, R & B, ballads, electro, funk and even managed a
Grammy for Best Mexican-American performance for her duet
with Luis Miguel (Who he?) "Me gustas tal como eres".
The frequency of recent releases suggests
that her time has gone. But I would imagine that with loads
of Grammies, Number 1 hits globally and even a range of dolls,
that she won't lose that much sleep over it. She is an affy
rich woman and is an American citizen.
