867 5309 / Jenny (rerecorded) / TOMMY TUTONE

Tommy Tutone is a new wave/power pop band, best known for the 80s rock hit "867-5309/Jenny" (also known by other names such as "867-5309"). The band is often called a typical example of a "one-hit wonder", since their other tracks never had the same chart success (although they received much airplay). Other songs include "Angel Say No" (which hit #38 on the Billboard Hot 40) and "Teen Angel Eyes" (part of the soundtrack to The Last American Virgin). The group disbanded in the mid-80s after a brief run of success but returned in the mid-90s. A common misconception is that Tommy Tutone is the name or nickname of the lead singer.

The Glamorous Life / SHEILA E.

Sheila Escovedo was born into a musical family. The eldest child of Pete and Juanita Escovedo (she has two brothers, Juan and Peter Michael, and one sister, Zina), she started playing with the family instruments at the age of 3. Sheila was obviously influenced by her father Latin jazz legend and timbalero Pete Escovedo (then band leader of the influential band Azteca) while watching him rehearse. At 5 years old, she made her concert "debut" at the former Sands Ballroom in Oakland, as she was invited on stage by her father to play a solo in front of an audience of 3,000. At that moment, Sheila knew exactly what she wanted to do: she was going to be a percussionist.
