Sharon had seemingly spent her life supporting the stars in her life from behind the curtain. thenelsonbrothers.com /inspirea.html   (867 words)

[Deathwatch] Sharon Sheeley, songwriter, 62   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Sheeley got her first break with "Poor Little Fool," an autobiographical lament inspired by her relationship with a married man -- rock pioneer Don Everly of the Everly Brothers.

That sparked his interest, albeit reluctantly. In 1961, Sheeley met DeShannon, best known for her interpretation of Burt Bacharach's "What The World Needs Now Is Love" and her own "Put a Little Love In Your Heart." The next year, she married the man who had introduced them, Los Angeles disc jockey Jimmy O'Neill. slick.org /pipermail/deathwatch/2002-May/000137.html   (381 words)
