Amanda Marshall - Let It Rain

Good night, everyone ;)

Tonight, Sons do Fundo brings Amanda Marshall, with her hit song "Let It Rain".

Amanda Meta Marshall was born in August 29, 1972 in Toronto, Canada), growing up in a biracial family to a Caucasian father and a Black Trinidadian mother. In several of her songs, Marshall has reflected on her racial identity "as a woman who looks white but is also half-black".

Marshall studied music extensively during her childhood, including at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. While performing on the Queen Street West bar scene in her teens, she met guitarist Jeff Healey, who was struck by her powerful voice and took her on tour.

She started her career signing a recording contract with Metalblade Records in 1991, but both parties agreed that they were not a good fit and went their separate ways. In 1995, Marshall signed to Epic Records, and released her debut album "Amanda Marshall" the same year. The album was a major success in Canada, generating a great deal of airplay and spawning six Top 40 hits -- "Let It Rain," "Beautiful Goodbye," "Dark Horse," "Fall From Grace," "Sitting on Top of the World," and "Birmingham," which remains her biggest hit internationally.

Amanda Marshall's latest appearance was a concert at Casino Rama on Novembhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifer 5, 2010.
