File this one under "WHO?":

Desiree Heslop (born 27 November 1961) is an English singer, who is using the stage name "Princess". In the late 1970s she worked with the group, Osibisa.

Her first solo album Princess (1986) was composed and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. Her second album All For Love (1987), was produced by a group of: Ballard and Magness, Richard James Burgess, Fox and Drinkwater.

Her single hits were:

• "Say I'm Your Number One" (#7 UK 1985)
• "After The Love Has Gone" (#28 UK 1985)
• "I'll Keep On Loving You" (#16 UK 1986)
• "Tell Me Tomorrow" (#34 UK 1986).
• "In The Heat Of A Passionate Moment" (#57 UK 1986).
• "Red hot" (#65 UK 1987).

The single "Say I'm Your Number One" has sold over one million copies worldwide.

From 1991 to 2003 she lived in U.S., but in 2003 she returned to England where she appeared in ITV's 2005 production Hit Me Baby One More Time performing both her biggest hit and a contemporary cover.

She must be all washed up, because I've never heard of her, and Lord knows I'm just so up on pop music....

Husband and I can remember a couple of lines from 'Say I'm Your Number One' but can't remember the singer or recognise any of her other 'hits'.
Maybe it's a British thing, but Stock, Aitken and Waterman were big cheesy-pop producers (think: Dead or Alive 'You Spin Me Round') in the 80's. Takes me right back to my teenage years.

I'm beginning to wonder how random this random selecting is....mine is about rock music too!
