No face metal, no bats on her eyes, no Donald Duck lips or plastic forehead, just sheer natural beauty .

Back in the day when there were real musicians, real singers, real emotion and not a backing track, autotune or a mobile phone in sight. Better days for

History tells us that Sharleen was a hairdresser/singer who was reluctant to step into the spotlight because she was shy. But when she embraced the truth that she could sing, elevated this band to global success. Her singing voice is in the contralto vocal range, a very special voice. And man did they spoil us with a sound that transcended Glasgow, and took us all the way to the Mississippi.
