WHO IS THIS BITCH ANYWAY? Not only the title of one of her most famous albums, but a real statement that sums up Marlena Shaw. She's known as a jazz artist, but some only knew her as a disco artist, while others yet think of her in an R&B mode. So who is Marlena Shaw? Well.....she is all of these. She is an entertainer.

Marlina Shaw was discovered by Chess Records in 1966. She released her first two albums on their subsidiary Cadet Records. She moved to Blue Note Records in 1972, and was that label's first female artist. She also recorded one of the Disco Era's biggest hits - a remake of "Touch Me In The Morning" on Columbia Records.
