From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheree Jeacocke (born 1958 in Toronto, Ontario)[1] is a Canadian singer/songwriter.

During the early '80s Jeacocke starred in the CBC-TV musical The King Of Friday Night and worked as a backup singer for Gordon Lightfoot, Rita MacNeil, Glass Tiger and Kim Mitchell. In 1985 Jeacocke releases her first single "You Get To Me". In 1986 she released her first Album Feel It and was nominated for "Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year" at the 17th annual Juno Awards, in Canada. Much of her financial success in music was in singing jingles for many 1980s Canadian broadcast advertisements.[2]

She signed a contract with BMG in 1989 and released her debut album Sheree. The first single, "Woman's Work" became her biggest hit as a lead vocalist, hitting the Canadian Top 10 in February 1990. The song was later reprised by Tina Arena, among others. In 1990, Sheree participated in the Best Guy movie soundtrack, released in Japan, on which she sings "Best Guy", "Woman's Work", "Bang On" and "Where Do We Go From Here?". In 1993, she released her second and last album for BMG, Miss My Love.

Today, she is known as Sheree Cerqua, a Toronto real estate agent like her husband Larry Cerqua.[1]
