Marilyn Martin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marilyn Martin is an American singer.
Her most successful work was with Phil Collins on the American #1 power ballad duet "Separate Lives" in 1985 for the movie White Nights. She had another minor American top 40 hit shortly after that with a song called "Night Moves" in 1986 and the music video accompanying the song gained a moderate amount of air-time rotation on MTV. She sang "Sorcerer", written by Stevie Nicks, for the 1984 film "Streets of Fire".
She sang backing vocals for Madonna on her 1989 hit song "Cherish".
Martin released two solo albums, the second being This Is Serious for Atlantic Records. It featured a song called "Possessive Love" written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard which was released as a single in 1989. The original demo remains one of many Unreleased Madonna Songs.
In September of 2005, Wounded Bird Records reissued Martin's self-titled 1986 debut album.
