Marlena Shaw (born Marlina Burgess, September 22, 1942, New Rochelle, New York) is an American singer. Shaw began her singing career in the 1960s and is still singing today. Her strongest fan base was in the African American community. Her music has reached out and touched all forms of music, and is still seen today as samples in hip hop songs, and in commercials on TV.

The South City Allstars version of "Corkscrew", which opens the album just rocks. Everyone should own it. It's as simple as that. It's a quality tune and the Allstars have really done the original track justice and cranked everything up.
One of the real highlights from Danny's debut CD was "Mama Didn't Lie" and "What It Ain't" has not one, but two versions of that kicking track. I personally preferred the Rephrase remix, but I'm sure some of you will prefer the other by Quasamodo.
