Jocelyn Lorette Brown (born November 25, 1950), sometimes credited as Jocelyn Shaw, is an American R&B and dance music singer. Although she has only one ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart entry in her name, she has an extensive background in the music industry and is well known in the world of dance music. ==Career== Brown started out in the late 1970s singing on records by studio-created bands like Revanche, Musique, Inner Life, Disco Tex and His Sex-O-Lettes, Cerrone, Bad Girls, Chic, and Change,〔Kellman, Andy "(Jocelyn Brown Biography )", Allmusic, retrieved 2011-07-17〕 later singing with Salsoul Orchestra, Soiree or Dazzle in 1979. In 1980, she appeared in Bette Midler's concert movie ''Divine Madness'' singing backup as a "Harlette" along with Ula Hedwig and Diva Gray. In 1984, Brown released a number of singles in her own name, including "Somebody Else's Guy" (which she co-wrote)(later rerecorded in 1997 by CeCe Peniston), which made it to #2 on the ''Billboard'' R&B Singles chart (#75 on the Hot 100) and became the title track of her first album (a compilation of tracks from her career to date), released that same year.〔 Although she scored another big Dance (and minor R&B) hit two years later with the oft-sampled tune, "Love's Gonna Get You", her solo career never really took off and she continued to sing on other people's records. She has more than twenty hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, four of which have hit number one (not including two #1 dance hits she had in the late 1970s as a guest vocalist with Patrick Adams' studio band, Musique). She continues to record house music and have chart hits in the 21st century. She toured with Boy George, as a backing vocalist, worldwide with Culture Club in 1985 and appeared on their 1986 album, ''From Luxury to Heartache''. In 1987, she co-wrote with Boy George his top 30 United Kingdom hit, "Keep Me In Mind". Since 1990, she has lived in London. In 1990, the line "I've got the power" was sampled from her 1986 dance hit, "Love's Gonna Get You" by electronica group Snap! for their worldwide hit, "The Power" as well as hip hop group Boogie Down Productions on their single 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jocelyn Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
