Sheena Easton



"My baby takes the morning train He works from 9 'til 5 and then He takes another home again To find me waiting for him"

- Sheena Easton, "Morning Train (9 to 5)"

Sheena Easton was a Scottish singer back in The Eighties who scored a few hits occasionally, most notably with "Morning Train (9 to 5)" and "For Your Eyes Only", the theme for the James Bond movie of the same name. Her music was largely pop with bits of soft rock and New Wave floating around, with a pretty ordinary image.

Prince produced her 1984 album A Private Heaven and predictably transformed her into another trying-too-hard-to-be-sexy siren. She did get two hit singles out of it, "Strut" and the Narmy "Sugar Walls", so it probably wasn't that bad of a deal. Easton sang on two other Prince songs, "U Got the Look" and "The Arms of Orion", and collaborated with him some more on The Lover in Me before parting ways with him.
