Sheila Horne

Brides Of Funkenstein member Sheila Horne was hired as a back-up singer for original Brides Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva in 1978. She became a main singer with Silva and Jeanette McGruder in 1979 for the second Brides album "Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy" and joined Rick James on tour in 1981 as an original Mary Jane. Horne wrote songs for George Clinton's solo albums on Capitol in the mid-80's and, as of 2005, continues to tour with P-Funk All-Stars. In Italy in 1997 she released an album under the name Blackwood.

After returning to the U.S. she shifted back into American music, touring on several legs with P Funk. She teamed up with heavyweight producer Peter Rauhofer as the dance diva, Amuka, to release 2003's dance anthem, "Appreciate Me," a hit that charted on Billboard's Top 10 and was licensed to CD compilations such as the "Queer As Folk: Club Babylon" soundtrack. Her second single with Peter Rauhofer "U Ain't That Good," charted up to # 3 on Billboard dance charts.
