1) A pseudonym of Brenda Shannon Greene (b. 1958 in Washington, DC, USA), the freestyle artist who released Let the Music Play (Jul 1983), hitting gold with this trend-setting, pulsating dance classic & others similar.
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). Produced by Mark Liggett & Chris Barbosa - the track's upfront heavy, staccato beats & synth bass, marked it as an electro single, The record became a monster club, pop & world hit, pumping its way to #8 pop, on the Billboard chart, selling sold eight million copies. Her début album, Let the Music Play (Feb 1984), went gold, peaking at 32 pop (Mar 1984). She followed that with the Top Ten rnb hit Give Me Tonight & My Heart's Divided.
Do You Wanna Get Away (May 1985), was Shannon's second Mirage album - The title track single hit number 13 R&B in spring 1985. Her third album Love Goes All the Way was released on Atlantic in 1986, with the singles "Dancin'" "Criminal" and "Prove Me Right" Shannon's dominated the dance floor for a decade. 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. Nevertheless, Shannon appeared on a 1999 segment of VH1's Where Are They Now, vowing to return to the top of the charts; the following spring she released the album The Best Is Yet to Come."

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.

Lullaby
Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're tired
Rest your weary head
I know you must climb
Ever higher
Rest your weary head
Take a tender look behind you
Twisting, towering peaks you've crossed
Wishing silent stars were god
Let the velvet night embrace you
Your tears will turn to morning dew
The sun is sleeping in the valley
The gentle dawn will make you new
If you are ever lost and lonely
Sore and searching for a home
Know my love lies all around you
Never far from where you roam
I know
I know you're tired
Rest your weary head

The song then describes the life of the Broadway baby, who stays up all night dancing to the band's music until the early hours of the morning. The lyrics also touch upon the life of the milkman who starts his delivery rounds during the night. The song concludes by inviting the listener to embrace "the lullaby of old Broadway."
In essence, "Lullaby of Broadway" is a joyous love-letter to the city that never sleeps. The song is catchy, upbeat, and beautifully captures the vibrant energy of New York. It's a timeless classic that will continue to be appreciated by generations to come.
Line by Line Meaning
Come on along and listen to
Join me as we listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The soothing melody of life on Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The excitement and fanfare that defines Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The sound of the subway trains passing by
The rattle of the taxis
The clatter of taxis driving down the street
The daffodils who entertain
The performers who entertain at Angelo's and Maxi's
At Angelo's and Maxi's
Specifically at these two establishments
When a Broadway baby says good night
When a performer finishes their show and says good night
It's early in the morning
But it's actually very early the next day
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Those who live in Manhattan are often up all night
Until the dawn
Until the sun comes up
Good night, baby
Wishing a performer a good night
Good night, the milkman's on his way
It's time to go to sleep because the milkman is coming soon
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep well, performer
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
It's time to end the night and rest
Hey
An enthusiastic exclamation
The band begins to go to town
The music starts to play and the party begins
And everyone goes crazy
The energy is high and people start dancing and having fun
You rock a bye your baby round
Swinging and dancing with a partner
'Til everything gets hazy
Doing so much dancing that things start to blur together
Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that
Promising gifts to a partner to keep them happy
You hear a daddy saying
Another person making promises and sweet talk
And baby goes home to her flat
The night is over and it's time to go home
To sleep all day
After a night of partying and performing, it's time to rest during the day
Listen to the lullaby
Take a moment to appreciate the calming melody
Of old Broadway
The timeless sound of life on Broadway
