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.

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.

She
Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt
(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why
she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on
So her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!

The lyrics... I think I won't ever do that (Telling someone I don't love her anymore) I can't imagine the situation I mean:
1- I don't believe in love but I believe in trust and abetting and people who feel that between them getting together even marrying and well...everything.
2-I can undestand that cohabitation can damage relationships but ... I mean when other person cries because of you it is an evidence that you are important for her ad I'd do whatever to save the relationship in that case. I definitely would not kiss her and dissapear lol.
...idk what do you think about that?
PD: I post this because I've seen comments saying what a song, so true and I wonder if that tragic scene is a normal thing of your everyday life XD.

Del sings it extremely well. I saw Del at an Oldies concert in Georgia.He sang all his hits including another artists song "Black is Black". He was great!
When the concert ended we were driving away, and a man asked if he could cut in front of our car as he had to catch a plane. It was Del. I said he could if he shook my hand. He did.
Linda Kearney
Beautiful song
coyotesong
Never knew Del covered this song. As usual, he's incomparable. One of the original huge talents of early 60s rock (after the music died according to some).
MillionDollarRedhead®
He absolutely did this song better than others who tried it! I completely agree!
Linda Kearney
How can anyone let alone19 people say this is not a beautiful song sung beautifully.?

Del, we hope you know now just how great you were and how loved you are by those you left behind. And the music plays on ...

Pure Perfection! Del is THE MAN.

I love this song and the versions I've heard by the male singers are all good. Nevertheless, I have to say the Shangri-Las version (renamed 'He Cried') still stands way out as the best for me.

Del had a talent I don't think he knew how much talent he had
