[@nineradvocate]

@@Eulaalia10 the Eventide H910 Harmonizer debuted in the 1970s. Pitch correction has been around for about 50 years now. This song was actually used as an example of heavy use of it, especially in the beginning of it. I am old and I remember it. I may have been wrong about which pitch corrector they were using, but they were definitely using one. And one turned way way up. Like Cher famously did in Believe.

[@davincibarnette]

This song was an absolute masterpiece. The video took it beyond the Stars.

[@tussk.]

Fun fact. The shoot for this video took way longer than expected, and everybody was getting bored, so Siobhan went for a wander, found the bar and got absolutely smashed on vodka. When she showed up to do her part she could barely stand up, but they went with it and the result was brilliantly and hilariously over the top. Also, the name Shakepears Sister is the title of a song by The Smiths.

More importantly, the hypothetically tragic life of Shakespeare's fictional sister is given in a speech by Virginia Woolf in the 1920s to the young women of Girton College, Cambridge, and subsequently published as the essay 'A Room of One's Own'. It imagines a sister of the playwright attempting to work in theatre in a world where women were denied an education, and any career beyond bearing children and keeping house. Woolf: 'Any woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at. For it needs little skill in psychology to be sure that a highly gifted girl who had tried to use her gift for poetry would have been so thwarted and hindered by other people, so tortured and pulled asunder by her own contrary instincts, that she must have lost her health and sanity to a certainty. No girl could have walked to London and stood at a stage door and forced her way into the presence of actor-managers without doing herself a violence...'

[@niallmcentee9400]

Marcella Detroit is singing at the start, Siobhan Fahey (formerly of Bananarama) is the other singer

[@DementedDaisy]

One of the most magical and beautiful songs ever made. It came out 1992, I was 11 years old. Goosebumps everytime I hear it. ❤

[@UKRetroReels]

Marcella Detroit could also sing this flawlessly live. I heard them do it twice and each time she hit every single note exactly as you hear it on the recording. Incredible talent.

[@KasiaZ]

I saw a recent live performance where she is ~70 years old and delivered the song flawlessly, same for Siobhan :)

[@esclad]

Marcella Detroit has an amazing voice. Siobhan Fahey was in Bananarama. Great girl group(s). They didn't speak for 20+ years but are now back together. This track still hold the UK record for longest number 1 by a girl group (8 weeks), unbeatable by the Spice Girls or even Little Mix. They have many hits for you to check out :))

[@ashleydixon4613]

Cruel Summer is definitely my fave! I recall one member of Bananarama is married to Andrew Ridgley, “the other guy” in Wham!

[@herobreaker9011]

This song was their ONLY hit song in the United States. They are a One-Hit Wonder here.

[@joshuayeager3686]

Yes, they came out with an amazing new song just a couple years back called “All The Queens Horse’s” and have been touring since.

[@ingvarjensen1088]

​@@ashleydixon4613WAS married 😉 It's Keren Woodward. Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama and Shakespears Sister fame was married to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics.

[@ingvarjensen1088]

The angel of death Is Siobhan Fahey (* 1958) formerly of Bananarama who had become tired of the pure pop direction Bananarama was going. So she left in spring 1988 to form Shakespears Sister. Her biggest hits were "Stay" (1992) from their second album "Hormonally Yours" and "You're History" from their first album "Sacred Heart" which includes my favourite "Run Silent". The girl with the high voice is Marcella Detroit (* 1950). She was fired by Siobhan in 1993 maybe because of jealousy. But they reunited in 2019 after 26 years of silence and released the WONDERFUL single "All The Queen's Horses". All of the songs I mentioned plus "I Don't Care" (1992) are definitely worth checking out!

[@MsBananasmel]

[@constancehaisma-kwok2442]

Virginia Woolf wrote an essay entitled “A Room of One’s Own” in which she contemplates what it would be like ‘if Shakespeare had a sister’ as talented as he. Would her works have been recognized in a world run by men? Would she even be allowed a room in which to write? Anyway, that’s where the band’s name comes from. A perfect choice for Female Friday.

[@thebaronofbelco2615]

This song was played at my mates funeral…. I’ve never been the same since. This song brings tears, goosebumps and over the years a warm smile of the awesome times we had together.

[@timaustin2000]

What happened with Shakespeares Sister was sad. It was Siobhan's solo project originally - she was the lead and Marcie was brought in as a backing singer. It was their management who requested that Marcie be lifted into co-lead and Siobhan felt strongarmed into it. Understandably, there was an element of resentment, even though they were dynamite together. Siobhan went through a very rough patch with her marriage and her mental health and it led to her sacking Marcie very publicly at an awards show, having not told her before hand. They didn't speak another word for years, right up until 2019 when they started mending fences. They got back together properly a year later and are now releasing music and touring together again. Im glad they've buried the past and hope they do another album because their 90s work was amazing.

[@kentonkruger8333]

Their song "I Don't Care" is also fantastic.

[@Maerahn]

Shakespeare's Sister were SO underrated back in their day, and they were AMAZING! The lady with the angelic voice is Marcella Detroit, and the Angel of Death is Siobhan Fahey (pronounced 'Shivorn Faye,') formerly of another well-known eighties girl group Bananarama. Fun fact: while making this video, Siobhan had to do many hours of waiting around before she got to shoot her bit, so she passed the time drinking... a lot. If you were thinking she looked drunk while she was performing in this, that's because... she was! Other songs of theirs I can recommend: 'You're History,' 'I Don't Care,' 'Hello (Turn Your Radio On)...'

[@ivanabonacicdoric8537]

I agree with ewerything you said, but the fact they were underreted - nope... They were all over MTV and radio

'I Believe' from her brilliant solo album. I love the song 'Prima Donna', it's very operatic.

[@martinmillar7137]

This song has three acts and all three smash... Probably my all time fave song.. what i absolutely love about it is you can how it influences current artists..

[@timmytwister6397]

Siobhan and Marcella are a true dynamic duo. Separately, it would be hard to listen to each of them for too long. But the contrast of Marcella’s high notes and Siobhan’s deep husky tones is magic. A particularly haunting song I remember well is Hello (Turn your Radio on). It’s like someone woke up after everyone else on earth was wiped out 🫣

[@anthonyblakely399]

Shakespears Sister is an alternative pop and rock musical duo based in the United Kingdom that was formed in 1988 by singer-songwriter Siobhan Fahey, a former member of Bananarama. Shakespears Sister was initially a solo act but became a duo by 1989, with the addition of American musician Marcella Detroit.

[@ProfessorMystery77]

Marcella Detroit is the first singer and she has a very interesting history working with Eric Clapton. The creepy singer is Siobhan Fahey who was in Bananarama and was also married to Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics. The album this song is from us called Hormonally Yours and is one of my favorite albums of the early 90’s. It’s a frigging masterpiece.

[@FLmickey90]

I was going to mention something similar to this as well! This song drew me in when it was first released!!!

[@TahoeNevada]

Came here to say just that!

[@jeangreene7565]

Yes! Amen!

[@laurabailey1054]

Siobhan reminds me of Magenta from Rocky Horror

[@andrewgrant6516]

The reason the album was called Hormonally Yours is they were both pregnant when they were writing it.

Me: Watching Jay be impressed with Marcella’s range in the first few lines of the song, but also knowing she’s about to go full Mariah soon.

[@jasonshekelton8676]

Stay was the group’s second hit . Their first hit You’re History , Siobhan takes the lead in the vocals and sheds her blonde bob hair cut poppy Bananarama image and shows off her deeper seductive voice while Marcella Detroit brings her high voice and gives the song a bit of an eccentric feel . It’s not surprising you guys didn’t recognise Siobhan even though you did Bananarama’s I Heard A Rumour recently . She changed her image and singing style dramatically several years after leaving Bananarama

[@mirjamvond1731]

This song is timeless. Hard to believe the song is 31 years old!! Siobhan Fahey is 1 of the 3 singers from the 80s female trio called Bananarama. Marcella Detroit has an amazing vocal range . She is very tall. I met her 1x in NYC. Circa 994. She said s he was really close to 6'1!

I remember when I first saw this video and thought how awesome it was in its theatricality and weirdness. Edit; LOL I typed the above before watching your video. Those objects falling off your wall were an omen of the witch to shortly come in the video. Get it? You weren't expecting what was to come in the video, you weren't expecting objects to fall off your wall. Too funny. The first singer obviously has a powerful voice.

Patrick Wilson the actor and the band Ghost just released a cover of this. You may find it interesting as well!

[@Problembeing]

The power of Marcella's voice shook the room! Thank you for playing Shakespear's Sister. I was fortunate to have Marcy come off the stage and pull me to her and sing the WHOLE song 'Stay' to me whilst looking me in the eyes. It was a moment. The song was co-written with Siobhan's former husband, Dave Stewart from The Eurythmics, Siobhan was in Bananarama, and Marcy was Eric Clapton's backing singer. The video was made by Sophie Muller who did Annie Lennox's videos, and it won a Brit award. ALSO - Siobhan was SO DRUNK when she descended down those stairs as the Angel of Death, she nearl;y fell down them. She had been waiting all day to film her bit, and was nervous, so she polished off nearly a whole bottle of Vodka. This song was ay number one in the UK charts for EIGHT WEEKS, and came out when my great grandfather passed away, and became my grandmother's favourite song. This song came from their second album, released in 1992, called 'Hormonally Yours' because it was written and recorded when they were both pregnant. PLEASE do more Shakespear's Sister; You're History, Goodbye Cruel World, I Don't Care, Sacred Heart, Hello (Turn Your Radio On), Catwoman, All the Queen's Horses... So many :)

[@liberaljag]

Marcella Detroit (Marcy Levy) is the main singer on this one. She co-wrote Eric Clapton’s “Lay Down Sally” (and sang backup on it) about 14 years before this song was a hit. She was nearly 40 here.

[@thefuturist8864]

This song has a very interesting structure. After the second chorus it seems like it’s going to become something different but then the chorus comes back into it, as the two different styles work with and against each other.

Marcella Detroit (American) took part in a British TV show called Pop Star to Opera Star, and she sang a notoriously difficult Mozart aria called The Queen of the Night which involves some unbelievably high notes - an F above a high C - and she was INCREDIBLE! It was quite a while ago. I think she, unfairly, came 2nd to an English woman from Bucks Fizz (if I remember rightly). I can only imagine it was because the public wanted a British person to win. Shame on them if true - speaking as an English woman myself. Marcella, hands down, deserved to Win 🏆

[@tomaskennedy]

Fun fact: If the 2nd singer appears drunk' it’s because she was! She was absolutely off her face drunk, and the bit where struggling over his body, Marcella is genuinely trying to control her, like, "Pull it together, woman, we’re working here!!"

Siobhan Fahey used to be in "BANANARAMA" Her bandmate from Bananarama used to date Dave Evans in the 1980s. Dave Evans is the man who appears in the music video for "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister.

"Hello. Turn Your Radio On" is another song by Shakespear's Sister that I would listen to on a loop as a teenager because of it's beautiful sound. It was both melancholy and hopeful. There's plenty of other songs by Shakespear's Sister that I could recommend. Their album "Hormonally Yours" was pretty much Golden for me. But I'd definitely recommend "Hello" for the video. :)

New music for me. Voices were amazing! New music: 1. "Solid" - by Ashford and Simpson Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson were a husband and wife songwriting, production, and recording duo. Nick Ashford died in 2011. "Solid" was released in 1984. 2. "Juicy Fruit" - by Mtume (pronounced M-too-may) - 1983 (the music will sound very familiar to you guys) 3. "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" - by S.O.S. Band (S.O.S. stands for Sounds of Success) - 1980 4. "Caravan of Love" - by Isley, Jasper, Isley (as in some of the Isley Brothers) - 1985 5. "Use It Be My Girl" - by The O'Jays - 1978 6. "New Attitude" - by Patti LaBelle - for Beverly Hills Cop movie soundtrack - 1984 7. "If You Asked Me To" - by Patti LaBelle - 1989 (covered by Celine Dion 3 years later in 1992)

I grew up in the 80s, and ironically I have never heard this song until back in 2016 while watching MTV classics channel, and it was love at first sight. I LOVE this song and I've been waiting for it to come across your reactions. Still gives me goosebumps and chills.

[@sylwialachowska3462]

I love you so much. You are incredibly open to music. You are characterized by a true curiosity about new songs and musical decades. I love watching you.

[@FilPol-yu1es]

Siobhan & Marcella are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FunnyAF0815]

Getting Goosebumps everytime hearing the song ❤

[@bassvibasics479]

Haven't heard this in YEARS!! Thank you- this was startling back in the day.

[@MissPenny077]

Glad to see someone else love this song! It has a meaning to it when you really go deep within to other realms

[@princesskatarina351]

I loved this song when I was young. For years, I didn't know what happened to them, until I looked them up in the early 2000s. I was devastated to learn what happened between them. I was very happy, & honestly surprised, when I learned they finally got back together in '19. I still love this song. ❤

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

What was so devastating? What happened besides them breaking up?

[@817mikeyh]

Been waiting a long time for you to do this one. True classic. Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) co wrote the song with Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit. The album Hormonally Yours is a true banger

[@fayesouthall6604]

This was a huge hit. I’m appreciating it more now than then. ♥️👏👏 The sax man falling was hysterical. I had to rewind to watch it again!

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Great duo. Marcella with her amazing voice and Siobhan with her creativity and strength.

[@EastwoodHilfiger]

absolute fantastic song. Loved it the first time round when it was initially released, and still love it now! Most of the songs from some 20-30 years past are still the best in the music world, and this is right up there amongst the top rankings!

[@joshjacobs3906]

Band is Letters To Cleo....song is called Here And Now.......total 90s one hit wonder with a female lead singer who sounds like an angel but the song is a banger....En Vogue's song Free Your Mind absolutely rocks!!! All great pics for Female Friday! Have a great weekend brothers and sisters! Peace from PA ✌️

[@billbois]

Yes! Fantastic song.

[@da4846]

Letters to Cleo also had “Dangerous Type” from the movie soundtrack for “The Craft”, a 90s classic.

[@sanzoftatooine]

I was gonna suggest Here & Now but I couldn't remember the band. Thanks!

[@cornievandermerwe4152]

I've always loved this song. My daughter even used it in a dance competition. Another one from this duo is "You're History". Also very unique sounding

[@DazzleMonroe]

HOLY SH1T!!!! I jumped out of my skin when the shelf came down, I was that involved in the song 🤣

[@chasestreet8082]

The story goes that Siobhan Fahey grew really tired of waiting on them to film Marcella Detroit's parts for the video. So she got a bit drunk in the back with the crew, and performed her parts as the Angel of Death slightly inebriated. It makes for some of the most amazing moments with her gestures, looks and the wonderful eyeroll that she gives at the end. Thank you both so much for checking this out!! If you want to hear more from them, anything from the "Hormonally Yours" album (which this is from) is great. I especially recommend "I Don't Care" if you want to hear more of Siobhan though.

[@TahoeNevada]

Amber! You need to check out Siouxsie & The Banshees! She’s SO influential. Considered by many to be the Mother of Goth music.

[@paul5589]

I seen the girls perform this live when they opened up for Prince when he toured the UK. Awesome stuff.

[@Spiderific]

Wow!! Now that's a concert I wish I was at!

[@VIDSTORAGE]

The lady in the opening Marcella Detroit toured and recorded with Eric Clapton on the Slowhand album, She sings back up on Lay Down Sally and co wrote that and The Core ..

[@keraptisblackrazor2658]

Praising the vocals and were all sitting here thinking.....wait for it, wait for it....

[@Miss_Beehaven]

The long haired singer is Siobhon Fahey from Bananarama whom you have previously reacted to - this song is hauntingly beautiful x x

[@reginairvine3919]

Toy Soldier by Martika....now thats a 90s song for sure.

[@beauregardglenwood8115]

When I first saw this back in 92, it creeped me out, but I love the voice the notes and the little story. She hit such a high note she knocked Amber's saxophone man off the shelf. 🤣

[@vertigo4ubob704]

Marcella has practically made this song "untouchable" in the Karaoke world. Bravo!

[@sugarcloud47]

One of my most favorite songs from growing up. I had the cassingle with b-side “I Don’t Care.” Wore that tape out! Thanks for choosing this one.

[@markfain7128]

Incredible band. Saw them live at The Roxy in Hollywood many, many moons ago. Seeing Marcella build herself up for that hit after Siobhan's bit was awesome to watch and it sounded absolutely amazing live. A fun part of that show is some random woman hopped on stage but they waved away security and let here sing part of a song (not this one) with them.

[@canuckyukyuk9164]

Marcella Detroit was the lead singer. The other singer was Siobhan Fahey, who was in Bananarama and was once married to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics.

[@marcushughes8977]

I watched them live they were amazing. Even had pics and a game of cards on the back of there tour bus with the band members 😉😁

[@flatandsplat]

Thank you for listening to our responses on your Bananarama reaction and did this one. Love it! Check out You're History next as it's a better example of their vocals together. Sorry about your saxophone player 😢

[@SaintPhoenixx]

Fun fact, Siobhan Fahey [the 'second' singer] admitted that when they filmed this video, they had spent all day waiting around and so she started drinking vodka to pass the time. They started filming at 8pm, by which point she was wasted. You can kind of tell by her performance.

[@Problembeing]

She downed nearly a whole bottle of vodka lol She nearly fell down the stairs 🤣

[@chellaynitz9886]

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet and I love Shakespeare's Sister. I listened to every song on this album, on cassette tape again and again, love it. Hurt and passion, light and dark, yin and yang, beautiful and mysterious, love it. Thanks for sharing and listening 🎧

[@dulceyconrad7758]

No one ever remembers this song and I have always loved it! So happy you stumbled on it and reacted.

[@skadoink1736]

EVERYTHING about this song is Phenomenal.... 'nuff said

[@MrGpschmidt]

One of my fave '90s songs - DeepCut guys - truly ethereal Kate Bush vibes - visceral and poignant - never fails to make me cry

[@jgweems]

I broke my neck in a diving accident in late summer of 1992. After months in UVA hospital, i was taken to a rehab center in Charlottesville, VA that was an old TB hospital from the 1940s. The nights were getting cooler as the days got shorter that fall. I could feel the cool air coming through those old, drafty windows when I was lying in bed. I had this cassette tape and played this song on my walkman over and over. It helped me a lot during that time. To this day, when I listen to this song, I'm right back in that old building lying in that bed. Music can do amazing things.

[@tomking7080]

I was a freshman in high school when this came out. I love this song
