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.
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. Shanon on occasion have also played with other well-known musicians, including Polish jazz violinist Michal Urbaniak.
Stronger Together
Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stronger together
Two hearts that beat in perfect complement
In love forever
We share a love for life that never ends
I know some people want our perfect love
So we'll slide back down that mountain side
Up to the top, back in a mine
Where to find, 'cause we're
Stronger together
There′s no mountain that′s too high
Stronger together
We'll keep climbing side by side
There may be problems
Hard times and separate opportunities
I know we′ll solve them
If we remember that there's you and me
And if we climb our way to fortune and wealth
Just don′t lose insight of what we have
'Cause we′ll remember that while
Everyone else is out of themselves
We'll keep growing
Stronger together
There's no mountain that′s too high
Stronger together
We′ll keep climbing side by side
Stronger together
There's no mountain that′s too high
(Our love's growing)
Stronger together
We′ll keep climbing till we reach the sky
I know some people want our perfect love
So we'll slide back down that mountain side
But hand in hand we′re climbing
Up to the top, back in a mine
Where to find, that's why, baby
We keep climbing, we keep climbing, baby
Our love's growing stronger together
We′ll keep climbing, baby
Our love′s growing
Stronger together, baby
There's no mountain that′s too high
Our love's growing
Stronger together
We′ll keep climbing side by side
Stronger together
We'll keep climbing, baby
There′s no mountain that's too high
Our love's growing
Stronger together
We′ll keep climbing till we reach the sky
Baby, we keep climbing (stronger together)
We keep climbing, baby
There′s no mountain that's too high
Our love′s growing
Stronger together
We'll keep climbing side by side
Baby, we keep climbing (stronger together)
We keep climbing, baby...
The song "Stronger Together" by Shannon is a declaration of love and the determination to overcome obstacles as a couple. The lyrics speak to the strong bond between two people who are so in love with each other that nothing can stop them, not even the steep climb up a mountain. The theme of climbing is used as a metaphor to show that the couple is willing to work hard and persevere to make their relationship a success.
The opening lines, "We'll keep climbing till we reach the sky," set the tone for the entire song. It is a statement of the couple's commitment to each other and their desire to go beyond the limits of what others think is possible. The chorus repeats the phrase "Stronger Together" to emphasize the idea that no matter what challenges they face, they are stronger as a team than they are as individuals.
The song acknowledges that there are bound to be difficulties along the way, but the couple is determined to work through them. The line "There may be problems, hard times and separate opportunities, I know we'll solve them" shows that even though things may not always be easy, they are confident in their ability to overcome those problems together.
Overall, "Stronger Together" is a message of hope and perseverance in relationships. It celebrates the idea that with the right partner, anything is possible as long as you work hard and stay committed.

Love me some Shannon! She has always been a regular part of my music rotation. I met her years ago, when I was a teenager working at a clothing store in Brooklyn. This had to be around 1988 and she use to come in the store with her mom to buy clothes for her on a regular. She was tall, statuesque, very beautiful and very down to earth. I love her voice so much, one of my favorite of all times. There is only one Shannon, she was a game changer! None one till this day ever had her sound and her look.
