Happy Birthday Sheree Brown (25th December 1955, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A). Los Angeles-based Sheree Brown recorded two albums, in the early Eighties, both for the Capitol imprint. Straight Ahead was released in 1981 and included the songs Youll Be Dancing All Night and Its A Pleasure. The Music followed in 1982 and included Happy Music, Got To Get Away and On My Way Home (featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica). Both albums were showcases for her songwriting abilities, with Its A Pleasure recognized as her finest moment, and later re-recorded by Frances Nero.She has also worked closely with long time friend Patrice Rushen (co-writing both Havent You Heard in 1979 and Watch Out in 1986). Sheree has also been a backing singer with Fire Fox and Marilyn Scott. Her Capitol albums featured the artists Patrice Rushen, Syreeta, Paulinho Da Costa, Steve Khan, Larry Williams, Stevie Wonder, Paul Jackson Jnr and Abraham Laboriel. Through the nineties Sheree Brown continued to work and is considered as being one of the finest session musicians within the industry. Sheree co-wrote (with Patrice Rushen and Naughty By Nature) the 1994 gold-selling single, Groove Thang, performed by Zhané on their album of the same name. She also co-wrote Not Just One In A Million and Closer To You with Patrice Rushen, both songs taken from the Hollywood Shuffle film soundtrack. In the year 2001, Sheree and Patrice Rushen began work alongside some young, new musicians calling themselves SBPR (Sisters Being Positively Real a.k.a. Sheree Brown Patrice Rushen).
