Sheena is such a beauty in both looks and wit.

[@bryanchristopher86]

Pretty yes, but that quick wit and that Scottish fire in her eyes just send her over the top. Damn, I bet she was a lot of fun!

[@tinkapookie]

I'm at a point in life where I only want to be spoken to in a Scottish accent

When you're young, you miss these interviews. Nice to see them. I saw Sheena once...at a Baptist University. She sang Sugar Walls. 😯 😂 As if they knew.

[@scottstrang1583]

She's always been hot.

[@christanner3761]

I always loved Sheena. But I like her back in this time. She isn't hiding her Scottish accent here. I feel like Mel Gibson. I want to paint my face blue, snatch her up on my horse and ride off to the Highlands. We could have Hagiss for takeout.

[@spirg]

You have to love a woman with confidence, she never gave up , always thought positive, even in some tough times early on , Confidence is a funny thing , it can make you or break you , in ALL aspects of life . Admired 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@plasteckfly]

She is completely plastic.

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

She should have kept her delightful Scottish accent instead of adopting american accent later in her life.

[@JJStetson]

Other than knowing her hit Morning Train, a cultural touchstone of sorts, as most songs are that received massive radio air time, I’ve never really seen Sheena on any shows or know anything about her, except from this clip. My takeaway is she’s a doll, witty and quite charming. (That’d be the most 90 yr old man sounding description I’ve ever written about a pop star in her youth)

[@astropioneer3296]

Yeah, she came across really well for that “late night” audience. Letterman can be a cantankerous interviewer-and you don’t want to get him in a foul mood. But she sparred well and didn’t take any guff from him. He liked that. Sheena’s a gem.

[@RandolfPatton]

Sheena was a great sparring partner with David. I would say she bested him easily. This isn't the first time I've heard difficult and Sheena Easton mentioned at the same time. Still find her kind of fascinating though.

Letterman having a particularly humourless evening. She was charming and fun.

[@billslocum9819]

Sheena Easton, Shirley MacLaine, Cher...you could cast a pretty solid variety show in the mid-80s with guests who got annoyed with Dave. MC'ed by Van Johnson, of course.

Not in accent

[@johndalton3180]

Brilliant upload, Don. Sheena was quite an energetic, glassy-eyed princess there. I suspect the complaints were from Sheena's people. Can you imagine being one of Sheena's people? I enjoyed her on the show. She was game. Dave looks like shit in the 1992 clip.

[@RaxOldies]

the complaints were from Sheena's people....definitely!!

[@NorthernSoulIsMyWorld]

In an Outer Limits episode the future is dominated by Sheena Easton music, and her many imitators; thank God I won't be around to see it!!! An alternative future where all music is banned would be so much better! No music sounds more dated than 80's music; no music sounds more cheesy, more crass, more predictable, it's the last music on Earth future generations venerate, it's the very music that prevents true creativity from coming to the fore!
