(Baby tell me) Can you dance - Shanice Wilson

Shanice Wilson was born in Pittsburgh, USA on May 14, 1973. She was pushed by her mother and aunt who were interested in pursuing careers in the music industry. At the age of eight, she starred in a KFC commercial with Ella Fitzgerald. In 1984, she participated in the TV programme 'Star search' and was signed to A&M Records.

She recorded an album with Teena Marie producing, but the record company shelved the album. 1987 saw the release of 'Discovery', produced by Bryan Loren. The first single, '(Baby tell me) Can you dance' was an immediate hit, peaking at number 50 in the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 35 in the Dutch Top 40.
