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 TAร 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.

Rain was falling
I can't leave this town
Thought I would be better off
With someone new
But you're all I think about
Love isn't what we thought
Love isn't what we need
Thought I would be better off
With somebody else
But you're all I think about
Back on that winter night
When we met
When we thought that we had it all
Back when we didn't have regrets
Cause we thought we knew it all
We were young, we were dumb
We were living life the way we felt
But we didn't know love from the start
And I guess that's why we fell
That's why we fell
We didn't know what love was love was
We didn't know what love was love was
Slowly we're falling
Can't escape the feeling cause were lonely
We didn't know what love was love was
We didn't know what love was love was
Slowly we're falling
Can't escape the feeling cause were lonely
You left on a foggy morning
Snow was falling
You were having doubts
Thought you would be better off
With someone new
And you left me here without
Love isn't what we thought
Love isn't what we need
Now we're having doubts
Thought I would be better off
With somebody else
But you're all I think about
Back on that winter night
When we met
When we thought that we had it all
Back when we didn't have regrets
Cause we thought we knew it all
We were young, we were dumb
We were living life the way we felt
But we didn't know love from the start
And I guess that's why we fell
We didn't know what love was love was
We didn't know what love was love was
Slowly we're falling
Can't escape the feeling cause were lonely
We didn't know what love was love was
We didn't know what love was love was
Slowly we're falling
Can't escape the feeling cause were lonely
We were young
We were dumb
We were living life the way we felt
But we didn't know love from the start
And I guess that's why we fell
The song "Why Why" by Shannon tells the story of a relationship that started in the past and how it is now being questioned. The verses talk about how they met on a rainy Sunday morning, and how they initially thought they were in love - but as they tried to move on from each other, they found that they couldn't forget each other. Despite the doubts and the mistakes they've made in the relationship, the chorus emphasizes the fact that they never really knew what love truly was, and that they are both now struggling with feelings of loneliness as they slowly fall apart.
The song is relatable to anyone who has ever experienced a romantic relationship that didn't last. It highlights the fact that sometimes, people start relationships without truly understanding what love is, and find themselves lost when it doesn't work out. The verses are written in a reflective tone, which indicates that the singer is looking back on the relationship with maturity and introspection. The chorus, on the other hand, speaks to the pain and confusion that comes with realizing that something you thought you had is slipping away.
Overall, "Why Why" is a poignant reminder that sometimes, love isn't enough to sustain a relationship. It encourages listeners to think about what love truly means to them, and to be mindful of their own emotional needs in any relationship they pursue.
