Lee 09-20-2004, 04:38 AM It was October 1986, it got to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. snl75 09-20-2004, 04:55 AM she did a couple of eps. of facts of life Jrnygrl 09-20-2004, 10:00 AM Best-known for her '80s dance-pop smash "Two of Hearts," Stacey Q's Madonna-ish look and youthful age helped her appeal to teens as well as clubgoers during her relatively brief time in the spotlight. Born Stacey Swain, she first began performing as part of the Ringling Brothers Circus, and joined a synth pop outfit called Q (named after the James Bond gadget man) in the early '80s. As the focus of the group shifted to its new vocalist, their name was changed to SSQ (for Stacey Swain), and they landed a deal with Enigma, releasing an album, titled Playback, in 1983. It went largely unnoticed, however, and the rechristened Stacey Q pursued a solo career. She eventually signed with Atlantic, and made her solo debut in 1986 with the LP Better Than Heaven. The lead single, "Two of Hearts," soared into the pop Top Five, making Stacey Q a hot commodity; she performed on the sitcom The Facts of Life and scored another Top 40 hit with the follow-up, "We Connect." Sustaining that success proved difficult, however; neither of her subsequent Atlantic albums, 1988's Hard Machine and 1989's Nights Like This, produced another major hit, and she was lost in the wave of teen-oriented pop that emerged around the same time. A greatest-hits compilation was released in 1995, but it featured mostly remixes, a hefty selection from the Playback era, and no material from her last two Atlantic albums. In 1997, Stacey Q released a small-scale comeback album called Boomerang; a far cry from her '80s dance-pop records, it reflected her conversion to Buddhism and concentrated mostly on acoustic pop and rock. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide Penny Lane 09-20-2004, 07:21 PM Not too familiar with her music but she was on an episode of Mama's Family.:D Penny Lane 09-20-2004, 07:28 PM Bump Penny Lane 09-20-2004, 07:29 PM Another pic:) ABlairican Pie 09-20-2004, 11:05 PM She was also on the Facts of Life--twice!!
