  3. Neneh Cherry

Neneneh Cherry sang with several groups in the early eighties before going solo with her debut single "Stop the War" - a message about the Falklands War.

Neneh's debut album "Raw Like Sushi" was released in 1989 with much of the content being written by her partner Booga Bear (Cameron McVey). Two hits followed - "Manchild" and "Kisses on the Wind" - before Neneh contracted Lyme disease and took a break from recording.

In 1994 Neneh Cherry returned with Youssou N'Dour on the hit record "Seven Seconds".

Trivia: Neneneh Cherry is the stepdaughter of jazz musician Don Cherry.

    I read in a newspaper music review of 'Raw Like Sushi' that 'Buffalo Stance' (which I think was her first chart entry) was about being pregnant- can't see how though, there's little in the lyrics to suggest it. I'm afraid that I'll always associate that song with the Lockerbie Disaster, as it was riding high in the top 20 around the time it happened. I can remember having an appointment at Selly Oak Hospital out-patients in Birmingham the day after the catastrophe, and driving in from Worcestershire in the bitter cold listening to 'Buffalo Stance' on the radio.

    I really liked her song man child. It was around 1988. I remember when she appeared on Top of the Pops she caused a bit of a to do. She was PREGNANT! Wow - get over it!

Do you remember these?
