Happy fifty-third birthday today (April 27th) to Scottish singer and actress Sheena Easton.

She started out her public career being filmed for a year on a BBC show called “The Big Time”. Cameras followed her quest for stardom. As the documentary was airing in 1980, her first singles rocketed up the UK charts. This would soon lead to International fame as well.

Prince - Sign O' The Times

In 1987, Prince released his ninth studio ninth studio album Sign O’ the Times. This was his second double-album of all-new material in just five years, and it featured material from a number of proposed projects he was working on from 1982 to 1986.

Sign O’ the Times is one of my top five favorite Prince albums of all time, and easily in my top 25 favorite of the 80’s. I purchased this one on vinyl during my final year of college and later purchased it on cassette too (so I would have a copy to listen to in the car). In the 90‘s, this was another one of the first albums I upgraded to CD. I have listened to this one end-to-end countless times over in the past twenty-four years. I think the record is simply amazing.
