Marlena Shaw

Real Name:Marlina Burgess
Profile:Marlena Shaw, born 22nd September 1942, New Rochelle, New York, U.S.A.
Beginning as a soul artist on the Bluenote label in the early 1970's, Marlena's strong voice quickly establised her on the US soul scene.
By the mid 1970's the disco scene was beginning to influence the sound of Bluenote and it was here that Marlena relesed "It's better than walking out", which was the first 12" on the Bluenote label.

Switching to Columbia records in 1977 ensured better record sales; her first album here includes the disco track "Pictures and memories". Marlena, however, will best be remembered by disco fans for her cover version of Diana Ross's "Touch me in the morning" - the disco medley on the LP includes several late 1960's and early 1970's soul tunes. Listen out for "Love dancin'" and "Haven't we been in love before".
