Oh yes!!!
I saw her live about a year ago.She's in her 60's now,
but she's so beautiful and got so much energy.
My favourite is "Rhythm of love".
also I love her "Feel like making love",and "Go away little boy".
Check out her "Anthology" album to get the goodies.

I`ll have to get that anthology cd, and yes, "Feel like makin` love" is a beautiful song, although i prefer Roberta Flack`s version.

Shaw has a beautiful voice, i read that Aretha Franklin once said that she was her favorite singer...

She also rode the disco bandwagon in the late 70s.Remember her hit "Love Dancin" from 1978 or '79? headbang

It was so great when I saw her doing that live,cuz she used
that intro to talk to the audience as if it was something she came up
with at that very moment.

Wihtout You In My Life appeared on her 1982-album and was written by Gary Taylor . He re-did it again on his debut-album a year later , but imo Marlena's version has more magic :

It has been re-issued on this UK-sampler-CD below :
