The week in music history brought to you by MusicGoldmine.com.
Just a couple of highlights from this week in music history!
APR 27: Happy birthday Sheena Easton! She burst onto the global music scene in the early ’80s with a voice that could glide from sweet pop to sultry soul effortlessly. Born April 27, 1959, in Scotland, she became one of the few artists to score Top 5 hits on multiple Billboard charts, proving her versatility across pop, R&B, and dance. Songs like “Morning Train (9 to 5)” and “Strut” showcased her range—from innocent charm to confident attitude.
MAY 3: Happy birthday Christopher Cross! He became one of the smoothest voices of late-’70s and early-’80s pop-rock, creating timeless hits that still define the yacht rock era. Born on May 3, 1951, in San Antonio and raised in Houston, he exploded onto the music scene with his self-titled debut album in 1979. The album produced classics like "Sailing" , "Ride Like the Wind", and "Never Be the Same."
