'''Sheena Easton''' (born '''Sheena Shirley Orr''' on [[April 27]], [[1959]]) is a [[Scottish people|Scottish]] [[pop music|pop]] singer and theatre and television actress. Sheena became famous for being the focus of an episode of the [[United Kingdom]] television programme ''[[The Big Time (TV series)|The Big Time]]'', a 1980 [[reality TV]] series created by [[Esther Rantzen]] which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract and got her a deal with [[EMI]].
Easton is the only UK female artist to have two singles ("[[9 to 5 (Sheena Easton song)|9 to 5]]" – known as "Morning Train" in the US – and "Modern Girl") in the UK top 10 at the same time since 1959.
Easton has sold over 4 million albums in the US alone, and 20 million records worldwide with 16 albums in her whole career and has 14 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Sheena Easton is the only artist in the history of the US Billboard charts to have a top 3 hit on each of the Billboards key charts: Adult Contemporary, Dance, Pop, Country, and R&B.
==Early Life==
Easton was born '''Sheena Shirley Orr''' on [[April 27]], [[1959]], [[Bellshill]], [[North Lanarkshire]], [[Scotland]]. Easton was the youngest of six children of a steel mill laborer, Alex Orr, and his wife Annie. Her siblings included brothers Robert and Alex and sisters Marilyn, Annessa and Morag. Her earliest known public performance as a singer was at the age of five, when in 1964 she sang "Early One Morning" for her uncle and aunt and various relatives at the couple's 25th wedding anniversary celebration.
In 1969, Easton's father died. Her mother had to support the family. Easton's web site states that despite her heavy workload she was always available for her children: "Sheena always speaks very highly of her mum and the wonderful job she did in raising her and her siblings, including teaching each of them all to read at home before they were even enrolled in school."
She had not seriously considered a singing career until viewing the movie ''[[The Way We Were]]'', with [[Barbra Streisand]]. Streisand's singing over the opening credits "overtook" the young Scottish girl and convinced her that what she wanted most was to be a singer and to have the same effect on others. Her top grades in school earned her a scholarship to attend the [[Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama]] in [[Glasgow]], and she trained there from 1975 to 1979 as a speech and drama teacher by day, while singing with a band called 'Something Else' by night at local clubs. She chose to study teaching rather than performing, because it was a course of study that would let her perfect her craft as a singer.
In 1979, she married Sandi Easton, the first of four husbands. They divorced after eight months, but Sheena decided to keep the surname Easton. That year, one of her Academy tutors coaxed her into auditioning for [[Esther Rantzen]], producer of the BBC programme ''The Big Time''. Rantzen was planning a documentary film to chronicle a relative unknown's rise to pop-music stardom. Easton was selected and her talent persuaded reluctant [[EMI]] executives to award her a contract, and [[Christopher Neil]] was assigned as her recording producer. [[Deke Arlon]] became her first manager, and Easton spent much of 1980 being followed by camera crews, who filmed her throughout the process of making her first EMI single, "Modern Girl".
Her second marriage in 1984 to Rob Light, a talent agent, ended after 18 months. Easton earned U.S. citizenship in 1992 and adopted her first child, Jake, in 1994. Two years later she adopted again, this time a baby girl named Skylar. In the summer of 1997, she met producer Tim Delarm while filming an episode of ESPN Canon Photo Safari in [[Yellowstone National Park]] and later married Delarm in Las Vegas in July of 1997. The marriage lasted one year. In 2001, she became engaged to John Minoli, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, and married him on November 9th, 2002. They divorced in 2003. Easton has been a single mother to her two children since and currently resides in Las Vegas.
Shrewd investments in Florida property have meant that she has appeared in the [[Sunday Times Rich List]].
==1980s==
Her first single, the [[disco]]-tinged soft-synth-pop tune "Modern Girl", was released in the UK before the show aired and reached a disappointing #56. At the end of the show Sheena was still unsure of her future as a singer. The question was soon resolved when, after the show aired, her second single, "[[9 to 5 (Sheena Easton song)|9 to 5]]", soared up the [[UK Singles Chart]] to #3 in 1980. "Modern Girl" re-entered the chart subsequently and climbed into the top 10, and Easton, who just a few months earlier had been a virtual unknown, now found herself with two songs in the top 10 simultaneously. Sheena was voted Best British Female Singer by the "Daily Mirror Pop & Rock Awards" in 1980, "Best Newcomer" 1980 by Capital Radio, and "Best Female Singer" 1980 by the "TV Times Readers Awards". In the UK Sheena Easton has earned eight top 40 hits and three top 40 albums to date.
"[[9 to 5 (Sheena Easton song)|9 to 5]]" was Easton's first single release in the United States, although it was renamed "Morning Train (Nine To Five)" for its release in the U.S. and Canada to avoid confusion with [[Dolly Parton]]'s hit movie title song "[[9 to 5 (Dolly Parton song)|9 to 5]]". "Morning Train" became Easton's first #1 hit in the U.S. and topped both the [[Billboard Hot 100]] and [[Adult Contemporary]] charts in [[Billboard magazine]]. "Modern Girl" was released as the follow-up and peaked at #18, and before 1981 was over Sheena had a top 10 hit in both the U.S. and UK with the Academy Award-nominated James Bond movie theme ''[[For Your Eyes Only (film)|For Your Eyes Only]]''. The song was nominated for the "Best Female Vocal Performance" in 1981 and Best Original Song at the Academy Awards in 1982. Easton's U.S. success culminated in her winning the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 1981.
Easton's first three U.S. albums, ''Sheena Easton'', ''You Could Have Been With Me'', and ''Madness, Money and Music'', were all in the same [[Soft Rock]]/[[Adult Contemporary]] pop vein (although she made a grab for the new wave audience with "Machinery", from the latter album). By the end of 1982, however, with British synthesizer bands (such as [[Gary Numan]] and [[Depeche Mode]]) taking over the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, she saw her sales slumping.
In 1983 she came back strongly in America with the album ''Best Kept Secret'' and its first single, the synthesized [[dance-pop]] tune "[[Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)]]" became her fourth top 10 hit. The single "Telefone" was Grammy-nominated for "Best Female Pop/Rock Vocal Performance" 1983. That year she also had a top-10 hit in the USA with "[[We've Got Tonight]]", a duet with [[Kenny Rogers]] a cover of the [[Bob Seger]] song also earning a #1 single on the country chart (also reaching the top 30 in the British best-sellers). The follow-up to "Telefone", "Almost Over You", was a #1 AC chart hit and Top 30 pop hit, and later became a hit on the country charts for [[Lila McCann]] in [[1998]].
In 1984, she began collaborating with [[Prince (artist)|Prince]] and made a transformation into a sexy [[dance-pop]] siren. She was rewarded with the biggest-selling U.S. album of her career, RIAA certified platinum ''[[A Private Heaven]]'', and her fifth top 10 single, the sassy and suggestive "Strut". Sheena was again Grammy nominated for "Best Female Pop/Rock Vocal Performance" 1984. She was also one of the first artists to have a music video banned because of its lyrics rather than its imagery. It seems that certain judgemental or politically correct broadcasters refused to play the sexually risqué "[[Sugar Walls]]" which had been written for her by Prince (using the [[pseudonym]] ''Alexander Nevermind''). "Sugar Walls" was also named by [[Tipper Gore]] of the [[Parents' Music Resource Council]] as one of the [[Filthy Fifteen]], a list of songs deemed indecent because of their lyrics, alongside Prince's own "[[Darling Nikki]]". This incident undoubtedly contributed to the song's notoriety and popularity as it eventually hit #3 on the [[R&B]] singles chart. [[Bruce Hornsby]] played in Easton's band in 1983 and 1984, appearing in at least one of her videos. He can be seen briefly mugging for the camera as he masterfully tickles the ivories in "Strut".
Around this time Sheena also recorded a [[Grammy]]-winning Spanish-language single, "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" ("I Love You Just the Way You Are"), a duet with [[Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri|Luis Miguel]] and earned her second Grammy for "Best Mexican-American Performance". Success in the Pop, Adult Contemporary, R&B, Country and Latin fields earned Easton a reputation as one of the most versatile vocalists of the 1980s.
Easton's follow-up to ''A Private Heaven'', entitled ''[[Do You (Sheena Easton album)|Do You]]'', was produced by Nile Rogers and yielded disappointing sales (despite going gold and yielding the top 30 single "Do It For Love"). By the end of 1985 Sheena also contributed vocals to "It's Christmas All Over The World" for the holiday release "Santa Claus" The Movie. Release of a follow-up album, 1987's ''[[No Sound But a Heart]]'',<ref name="BeckNews">Beck, Marilyn. "New director selected for 'No Man's Land.' ''Daily News'' (Los Angeles).

''No Sound But a Heart'' eventually did get released in the United States in 1999, with four bonus tracks, including Easton's contributions to the soundtrack of the 1986 film ''[[About Last Night...]]'', "Natural Love" and the minor hit single "So Far, So Good".
Easton was not totally absent from the charts in 1987, however; she sang on Prince's #2 hit, "[[U Got the Look]]", and also appeared in the video. Prince and Sheena were Grammy nominated for "Best R&B Vocal, Duo or Group" in 1987. (The two would later team again for "[[The Arms of Orion]]", featured on Prince's soundtrack to the movie ''[[Batman (album)|Batman]] 1989'', but it wasn't as big a hit, reaching #36 in the US and #27 in the UK. They also wrote a song for Patti LaBelle's album that year titled "[[Love '89]]". In addition they co-wrote "[[La La La, Hee Hee Hee]]" which Prince recorded.
In November 1987 Easton made her first dramatic acting appearance on the television program ''[[Miami Vice]]''. She played a singer named Caitlin Davies whom [[Sonny Crockett]] was assigned to protect until her court appearance to render crucial testimony against certain corrupt music industry mavens. Sonny and Caitlin ended up married by the end of the episode, the first of five for Easton until her character was killed off. Easton garnered good reviews and the episodes she was featured on earned the show higher ratings. By the spring of 1988 the latest installment of the ''Miami Vice'' soundtrack was released and featured "Follow My Rainbow" which Easton had finished singing on her last appearance just moments before her character was eliminated.
The song also appeared on her next album ''[[The Lover In Me (Sheena Easton album)|The Lover In Me]]'', a gold-selling disc debut released the following autumn on her new label [[MCA Records]] that put Easton back on the charts. This album features [[Urban R&B]] and [[Dance-pop]], and a more sexier image. The title song from "The Lover In Me" reached (US#2) on the [[Billboard Hot 100]] (UK#15) and became her biggest pop hit since "Morning Train". It also became a (#5) hit on the [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles and Tracks]] chart. It was followed on the R&B chart by "Days Like This" (#35)(UK #43), which missed the [[Billboard Hot 100]]. A third single was released "101" (UK #54) and missed the Billboard top 100 but did make it to (#2) on the Billboard Dance chart. A final single "No Deposit, No Return" was released and failed to chart. The CD received positive reviews and introduced Easton to an R&B audience as it featured collaborations with [[L.A. Reid|LA]] & [[Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds|Babyface]], [[Prince]], [[Angela Winbush]], and [[Jellybean Benitez]].
==The 1990s==
In 1991, ''[[What Comes Naturally]]'' US#90 became the last of Easton's albums to chart in the [[United States]]; the title song was also her last Top 40 single to date, reaching #19. It also became her first hit in Australia since the 1980s, peaking at number 4. Another two singles "You Can Swing It" and "To Anyone" followed but failed to chart. Some of her recent albums have only been available in the [[Far East]] or [[Europe]] except for''[[No Strings (Sheena Easton album)|No Strings]] an album of Jazz/Standards'' and ''[[My Cherie (Sheena Easton album)|My Cherie]]'', also released as a single.
In the late 90's Sheena retained a record contract with [[MCA Japan]] and released 2 discs of new material. [["Freedom"]] in 1997 a return to her trademark pop including a remake of her debut single "Modern Girl", other singles released Love Me With Freedom, and When You Speak My Name. In 1999 [[Universal/Victor]] released the self produced acoustical set of [["Home"]]. The disc singles released again in Japan were "Carry A Dream" from the animated motion picture "Marco" and "My Treasure Is You."
EMI Records group North America released a greatest hits package called ''[[The World of Sheena Easton The Singles Collection]]'' that is her most popular and only disc that features her singles in chronological order and chart history. The package includes information on her early MCA singles but the singles are not featured on the disc.
On an appearance on ''Up All Night with Rick Dees'', she jokingly confessed her wish to be pregnant with news anchor [[Peter Jennings]]' baby. Jennings recounted the incident in an interview with Larry King and said he was flattered and amused by the proposal.
Easton became the mother of an adoptive boy (Jake) and girl (Skylar) between 1995 and 1996.
Easton continued acting in America, starring in [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] revivals of ''[[Man Of La Mancha]]'' (1992) and ''[[Grease (musical)|Grease]]'' (1996). Between 1994 and 1996, she played several characters in ''[[Gargoyles (TV series)|Gargoyles]]'' the animated series, including Lady Finella, the Banshee, Molly and Robyn Canmore. In 1999, she voice-acted a part-demon character, Annah-of-the-Shadows, in the computer game ''[[Planescape: Torment]]''. She lives in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] with her two children and often performs in various casinos' entertainment venues. She voiced the character of Fiona Canmore for a scripted but unfinished episode of the cancelled animated feature, [[Atlantis: Milo's Return|Team Atlantis]].
In June 1998 her former secondary school [[Bellshill Academy]] celebrated its 100th anniversary. Easton signed a tribute to the school for this special occasion which is still on display in the main building. She was a pupil there from 1971-1977.
A popular story at the school was that there was a student desk upon which the girl named "Sheena Orr" had scrawled her name. This was a source of some pride to the teacher in whose classroom it had resided. Upon returning from the summer holiday break one year, however, the teacher was dismayed to find that the furniture had all been replaced and that the grafitti-covered desk had disappeared as well.
In December of 1998, Sheena toured with "The Colors of Christmas" with artists like Roberta Flack, Melissa Manchester, Peabo Bryson, and Jeffery Osborne. Windham Hill Records produced by Robbie Buchanan "The Colors of Christmas" disc of holiday music. Sheena contributed two tracks, a duet "The Place Where We Belong" with Jeffery Osborne, and "The Lords Prayer".
1999-2000 saw New York based "One Way Records" attained the right to release all of Sheena Easton EMI-America catalog. For the first time in the US "No Sound But A Heart" was released. All Sheena's EMI back catalogue was re-released with bonus tracks, incorporating both b-sides and remixes. However, there was one notable exception to the re-release schedule, Sheena's much sought after Spanish language album [["Todo Me Recuerda A Ti"]].

The first single and video "[[Giving Up, Giving In]]" made UK #54. A second single and video was a cover of Donna Summer's hit "[[Love Is In Control]]" and released by promotion only, but was withdrawn. In Japan the first single was "[[Can't Take My Eyes Off You]]" and the album included a cover of Teena Marie's "[[I Need Your Lovin]]" as a bonus track.

In April and May of 2004, Easton visited [[Australia]] and was featured in a kooky TV commercial for [[Connex Melbourne|Connex]] in [[Melbourne]]. It runs like this: A number of passengers in a morning train are singing "9 to 5". Easton boards the [[X'Trapolis 100|train]] at [[Burnley railway station, Melbourne|Burnley Station]] and screams upon witnessing this truly bizarre spectacle. The passengers pause briefly in acknowledgement of the unexpected celebrity appearance but then go right on singing afterwards.
