[歌手简介]

　　1980s pop diva Sheena Easton was born Sheena Shirley Orr in Belshill, Scotland on April 27, 1959. Inspired to pursue a singing career after seeing Barbra Streisand in The Way We Were, she later attended the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama while moonlighting with the group Something Else.

　　Exposure on the BBC television production The Big Time: Pop Singer not only resulted in a record deal with EMI but also pushed Easton's 1980 debut singles, "Modern Girl" and "9 to 5," into the U.K. Top Ten, and she became the first female artist to score two simultaneous Top Ten hits. Her self-titled debut LP followed in 1981, while "9 to 5" was reissued in America under the title "Morning Train" to avoid confusion with Dolly Parton's recent hit of the same name; regardless, the single topped the U.S. pop charts, with "Modern Girl" cracking the Top 20 a few months later.

　　After earning a Grammy as Best New Artist, Easton was tapped to sing the title theme of the latest James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only; in 1983, she duetted with Kenny Rogers on the smash "We've Got Tonight," returning to the Top Ten later that year with "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair." ) However, with 1984's A Private Affair, Easton retooled her squeaky clean image, following the sassy "Strut" with the salacious "Sugar Walls," written and produced by one Alexander Nevermind (a.k.a. Prince, to whose "U Got the Look" she contributed vocals in 1987).

　　She followed a stint as Don Johnson's ill-fated TV wife on Miami Vice by scoring the number two smash "The Lover in Me" in 1989; however, 1991's "What Comes Naturally" proved to be Easton's last chart entry, and after starring in a musical revival of Man of La Mancha she spent much of the decade on stage, also appearing in a revival of Grease as well as on the seasonal tour The Colors of Christmas.

　　80年代流行乐天后Sheena Easton，1959年4月27日出生于英国苏格兰的Belshill市。她是受到芭芭拉-史翠珊电影《往日情怀(The Way We Were)》的影响而进入音乐界发展。在苏格兰皇家音乐戏剧学院深造期间，她加入了Something Else乐团。

　　Sheena Easton参与英国BBC电视台“The Big Time: Pop Singer”节目演出后，即受到EMI唱片公司的青睐并与她签约。1980年，Sheena Easton推出《Modern Girl》及《9 To 5》两首个人单曲，双双打进全英十大单曲排行榜，成为该榜有史以来首位同时在十大占有两个席次的女歌手。

　　接着，《9 To 5》更名为《Morning Train》转战美国，更一举拿下全美流行单曲及成人抒情榜双料冠军，并荣获1982年格莱美音乐奖最佳新人，从此大红大紫起来。

　　另外，她所演译的名曲也包括了《Modern Girl》、《For Your Eyes Only》、《You Got The Look》、《You Could Have Been With Me》等。除了歌唱，Sheena Easton也曾演出《Young Blades》里的“Queen Anne”角色。
