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.

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.
Who
Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She tries to bring me down
She knows when to cry
And she knows exactly what to say
She turns the truth around
And makes it sound like I'm the one to blame
But I'm not the one who introduced her
To her latest flame
And I'll always remember that night
She said we were through
When she's not with him she forgets
Who left who
She don't really want me
But she don't want me to be free
Her pride can't stand the thought
Of someone else lovin' me
She still wants control
Of a love that she let go
When she said goodbye
She says I'm to blame for all the pain
That she feels inside
But I'll always remember that night
She found someone new
When he's not around she forgets
Who left who, who left who
All alone to sing the blues
And who told who
The found somebody new
And I'll always remember
Who broke my heart in two
When he's not around she forgets
Who left who
When he's not around she forgets
Who left who
Who left who
In the lyrics of the song "Who" by Shannon, the singer is talking about a past relationship with a person who constantly tries to control him. The opening lines of the song describe a situation where the person (who is not named) tries to bring the singer down every time she sees him. She has an ability to manipulate the truth and make it seem like he was the one at fault when she is the one who introduced him to her latest flame. Despite the fact that she left the singer, she still wants to control his life and prevent him from finding happiness with anyone else.
The second verse of the song confirms that the person does not really want the singer in her life, but at the same time, she cannot stand the idea of someone else loving him. She blames the singer for all the pain she experiences although she is the one who said goodbye. The chorus of the song is a reminder of how the person found someone new and moved on while trying to make it seem like the singer is at fault for their breakup. The song ends with the singer singing the blues and reflecting on how the other person broke his heart in two and forgets who left who when her new partner is not around.
Overall, the song 'Who' is about the power struggle and manipulation that can exist in relationships, especially when one partner wants to control the other. The lyrics show how it is possible for someone to turn the truth around and make their partner feel guilty for something they did not do. The song also touches on the idea that some people cannot move on after a breakup and continue to hold onto their past even when they have moved on to someone new.
Line by Line Meaning
Every time I see her
Whenever I come across her
She tries to bring me down
She attempts to lower my spirits
She knows when to cry
She's aware of how to feign tears
And she knows exactly what to say
She knows precisely what words to use
She turns the truth around
She manipulates the facts to fit her narrative
And makes it sound like I'm the one to blame
And portrays it as if I'm responsible for everything
But I'm not the one who introduced her
But I'm not the person who introduced her to the new person
To her latest flame
To the latest person she's involved with
And I'll always remember that night
And the memory of that night will always stay with me
She said we were through
When she said our relationship was over
When she's not with him she forgets
When she's not with the person she left me for, she doesn't recall
Who left who
Which one of us left the other
She don't really want me
She doesn't actually want me
But she don't want me to be free
But she doesn't want me to be free to move on
Her pride can't stand the thought
Her ego is incapable of handling the idea
Of someone else lovin' me
Of anyone else loving me other than her
She still wants control
She still desires to have power over me
Of a love that she let go
Of the love that she gave up on
When she said goodbye
When she parted ways with me
She says I'm to blame for all the pain
She claims that I'm responsible for all the sorrow
That she feels inside
That resides within her
All alone to sing the blues
Just me, feeling blue and singing to myself
And who told who
And who informed whom
The found somebody new
They both found someone new
And I'll always remember
And I'll never forget
Who broke my heart in two
Who shattered my heart into two pieces
When he's not around she forgets
When she's not with the new person, she doesn't remember
Who left who
Which one of us broke up with the other
When he's not around she forgets
When the new man is absent, she tends to forget
Who left who
Who ended the relationship
