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.

Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
I remember when I met you,
I thought you had it going on
Money, style and all
We started out as friends
And something told me not to fall,
Not to fall in love with you
'Cause you're that kind of man
That would break my heart in two
I wanted you
For so many reasons
I needed you
Through all seasons
It′s over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
It′s over, love,
Freak this music in this place,
Shake that body in his face
And don't think about a love you can′t replace
It's over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
Gave you times, oh, I trusted you,
Thought you were the one for me
Shared my body,
You had me so confused
Passionately, I pleased
I tried to take it slow
So you would lose my heart,
But all the changes,
All the changes that you put me through,
I had to let you go
So you won′t hurt no more
I wanted you
For so many reasons
I needed you
Through all seasons
It's over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
It′s over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
It's over, love,
Freak this music in this place,
Shake that body in his face
And don't think about a love you can′t replace
It′s over, love,
Freak this music in this place,
Shake that body in his face
And don't think about a love you can′t replace
You got to live with it
I got to live with it
You got to live with it
I got to live with it
It's over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
It′s over now,
I loved you long enough
Now is the time to move
(It's over, love)
The song "It's Over Love" by Shannon is about the end of a relationship. The lyrics describe the process of falling in love with someone who seemed perfect at first, only to realize later that they were not the right person. The singer recalls meeting the person and being impressed by their money and style, but despite feeling drawn to them, she had a nagging feeling that she should not fall in love with this kind of man. As the relationship progresses, the singer gives the person many chances and tries to work through problems, but ultimately realizes that she is better off leaving the relationship before it causes more pain.
Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the idea of moving on and letting go. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's over now" several times, and encourages listeners to "shake that body" and forget about a love they can't replace. In the end, the singer acknowledges that both parties will have to live with the end of the relationship, but expresses a sense of relief that they are moving on.
One possible interpretation of the song could be that it is about choosing self-respect over a toxic relationship. The singer acknowledges that she had strong feelings for the person and gave them many chances, but ultimately decides to leave because she deserves better. The upbeat tempo and celebratory message of the song can be seen as a way of empowering others to make similar choices and move on from difficult relationships.
