WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ALISHA? SHE SANG ALL NIGHT PASSION. SHE HAD A LOT OF TALENT BUT THAT'S IT. THEY NEVER MADE HER A MEGA STAR. YET HER SONGS RULED IN THE UNDERGROUND AND ARE STILL CLASSICS. HOW COME SHE WASN'T AS BIG AS BRITNEY?

Alisha........

Don't know how much of this you already know, so here it goes:

Alisha was signed to Vanguard records in the early 80's. They had her record an album after the big success of her first single, "All night Passion". This debut album became a club success, with 3 more hits, "Too Turned On", "Baby Talk" and "Stargazing".

In 1987, Alisha was signed to RCA Records (home of the other singer you asked about, Tia). Her album for them is called "Nightwalkin'" and two singles were released. "Do You Dream About Me" (from the Mannequin soundtrack) and "Into My Secret". Overall, the album had a more "rock" sound and the songs were not as successfull as her first album.

In 1990, Alisha signed to MCA Records. Her album for them was called "Bounce Back" and had two minor hits, "Wrong Number" and "Bounce Back" both of which were previously recored by an act called Fire On Blonde. Both singles made the lower half of the Hot 100, but dance radio/clubs didn't support the singles, because they had been hits for Fire On Blonde just a few years earlier.

In 1996, Alisha was on Critique Records with a single called "Wherever The Rhythm Takes Me". The single (a house/euro track) received little or no airplay, and as a result, no other singles or albums followed.

Sounds like a sad ending to an otherwise promising career!

I loved that song from Mannequin. I didn't know Alisha sang it! How 'bout that?

"Into My Secret" was a great song!!! I agree that Alisha had a promising career. She is my homegirl....went to my junior high and high school and grew up in my neighborhood!
