She grew up in Brooklyn & whilst at college, joined the New York Jazz Ensemble as a singer, subsequently meeting drummer Lenny White & sang with Brownstone (a group she started with Russell Taylor), leading to some recording. Her first single, "Let the Music Play" (issued as a 12" on Emergency, New York).

Known as the international Dance Queen of the World. A decline in her career because some litigation surrounding "Let the Music Play", the decline of dance-oriented radio stations, the loss of club airtime on mainstream radio stations, and the inevitable "Let the Music Play" sound-alike clones that surfaced.

2) ShannoN - Hard Rock band from France
Olivier Del Valle - vocals
Patrice Louis - guitars
Nicolas Fixy - bass
Benjamin Bergerolle - drums
Thierry Dagnicourt - keyboards
Formed in the beginning of 1998 by Patrice LOUIS (Guitar) and Thierry DAGNICOURT (Keyboards), SHANNON plays a melodic hard rock that sticks to the skin. During the spring of 1998, the band enroles ex-JANNYLEE's singer Olivier DEL VALLE behind the mike, then Claude THILL (ex-DER KAISER) playing bass and Maxence PILO (ex-HEAVENLY) at the drum kit join the band to finally complete the line-up. Their debut and eponymous album (Shannon, released in November 2003 on the Anvilcorp. label and distributed by Wagram has been unanimously praised and regarded by the international press as one of the most impressive and brilliant record of the year in the Classic 80's US melodic rock style. With catchy hook lines, infectious choruses and a groovy and powerful rhythm section, SHANNON is the perfect alchemy between classic US melodic hard rock and typical European influenced NWOBHM sound, delivering a music as powerful as melodic. After the release of the album, the band takes the road and shares the stage with renowned artists such as Axxis, PINK CREAM 69 and Jeff Scott SOTO in Paris. In the middle of 2005, SHANNON sees its first line-up changes with the departure of Claude and Maxence, immediately replaced by, respectively, Nicolas FIXY (Bass) and Benjamin BERGEROLLE (Drums), both formerly in French epic-progressive TAÏ PHONG. Strongly encouraged with the success of their self-titled album, not only in France, but widely abroad, the band has taken the way to the studio to record, more motivated than ever. WORLD OF DESIRE, a 5-track demo EP, was released in 2007. SHANNON played several shows to present the new songs and was selected to play before GOTTHARD at the RAISMES FESTIVAL. Some special guests are invited and did some backing vocals (Gianni PONTILLO, Ben SOTTO, Ben VENET, Bruno LEVESQUE, Jens WALKENHORST) and a duet with Renaud HANTSON was recorded. The band signed with ArtistService at the end of 2007 and Angel In Disguise, the brand new album, even more powerful than their debut, is world wide distributed by MusicBuyMail. Never missing an opportunity to play live, the band played eventually at the PARIS METAL FRANCE FESTIVAL. After been part of the September nights open air festival with Axxis and Krokus, the band shall soon be back to the studios to record their 3rd album, Circus Of Lost Souls, released in 2013.
3) A Polish Irish folk band, founded in 1994. They have so far recorded five albums, one soundtrack, and also composed some music for an Irish dance show. Shannon perform in about a hundred concerts every year mainly in Europe. Over the years they have played in many festivals, including
Rainforest World Music Festival (Malaysia, 2005); Celtica 2005 (Italy); Folk Fiesta (Poland). Shannon have also taken part in celebrations of the Interceltique Festival du Lorient in Britany (France) as well as often performing in Denmark and Germany.

Goodbye
Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summertime
Dead skin and sun-bleached hair
Pinked up cheeks and the county fairs
Jumpin' in rivers all day long
How did I miss it? Now it's gone
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summertime
I drove my way through the mountainside
Hitch hike just to get high
Slinked in the shadows of an empty room
Stick to the darkness
It'll be over soon
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summertime
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summertime
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summer
Goodbye summertime
The lyrics of Shannon's song Goodbye express the melancholic confession of a person who finds himself on the brink of ending a relationship with their significant other. The first two lines of the chorus, "You could throw this all away, And with the seasons change," illustrate the singer's belief that their partner is willing to throw everything away on a whim. They wonder if their partner is just attributing their feelings to the weather, "Blame this feeling on the rain," questioning their sincerity about the relationship.
Later in the song, the singer talks about hearing Bob Dylan's sad song on the radio and asking what went wrong. This verse is putting the singer in the position of the one who doesn't know what happened to the relationship and the subtle reference to Dylan helps underscore the kind of emotional territory they are in. Despite the singer's faith in their relationship and love that they share, they admit that they can't be with their partner anymore. The line, "Yes this love goes on forever that's still true, but truth is I just can't be with you," highlights how sometimes love and devotion aren't enough for a relationship to thrive.
The song speaks to a relatable situation where two people try to hold on to their love, but it seems like it's a losing battle. Love is an unpredictable thing that can be hard to understand and express, and the lyrics do a great job of portraying this sentiment.

Shannon came a long way. As a football player no one thought he had what it took to become an analyst. But he proved them wrong. He’s taken this opportunity and knocked it outta the ballpark!!
Class act he thanked everyone by name. That’s a man who appreciated his staff & those around him!!
