shawn christopher’s 1990 breakout success of “another sleepless night” emerged during a pivotal to dance music, particularly house music. at the time the genre was undergoing a significant transformation, transitioning from underground clubs to mainstream music charts.
“another sleepless night” and shawn’s equally slamming’ follow-up “don’t lose the magic,”both produced by mike “the hitman” wilson, exemplified the inroads house music was making at top 40 radio and major record labels. released on arista records, both singles struck a chord with house music purists and a broader pop-loving audience.
released at the top of 1992, “don’t lose the magic” not only a showcased the genre’s growing versatility but christopher’s powerful and beautifully emotive voice. backed by remixes by todd terry and david morales, the song became christopher’s second #1 on billboard’s dance chart. it was also reach #71 on billboard’s main chart, the ever coveted hit 100. a respectable showing for a song from a genre that was still edging its way to radio playlists nationally.
shawn christopher released her debut album on arista records in late 1992. she was released stand alone singles throughout the 90s including another dance chart topper, her 1998 cover of michael mcdonald’s “sweet freedom.” shawn now records and releases inspirational songs.
shawn christopher’s one-two punch of “another sleepless night” and “don’t lose the magic” were a statement about the potential and direction of house music in the early 90s and pointed it the dominance it would later achieve at pop radio. both singles were great pop songs and remained deeply rooted in the foundations of the rhythmic innovations of house music.

Hey there! Sorry if you don’t like receiving asks, but I wanted to ask you this: the voice actors for both (older) Graham and Manny are going to be attending a convention soon on February 1st. You’ve been my favorite King’s Quest artist for quite a long time and I was hoping I could get permission to print out one of your art pieces for them to sign! I absolutely don’t mind paying you for it, and you can pick which one if you want! I just thought I’d ask :)
/softest gasp
yes please i would be honored and delighted!! feel free to take anything you like, it's always available for printing and smiles. i'd love to see a picture of the end result if you can manage it, but otherwise it's all free and good for you, friend!

Another solid addition to the Hellboy series, The Secret of Chesbro House #1-2 with Shawn McManus on cover and interior art duties.
Consistantly entertaining comic book series that should be on everybody's pull list.
