A long-shot

[JinxtheCat]

This is a long shot, I'm looking for the name of a band, one of the singers was a black girl who looked and sounded like a man, it was sometime in the 90's they were popular and I remember a video where the said girl had Seal-like canerow hair and was wearing a beige mac. I think.

Sounds a bit like M-People ?

[*mystical*]

Maybe Sonique

[hectic]

Tracey Chepman?  Macy Gray?

What is canerow hair?  I'm sorry, I'm only familiar with cornrows.  I'm not very "up" (or is it "down"?) with the latest hair fashions!

Definately sounds like Tracey Chapman as per hectic's answer. Among her hits were "Fast Car"

Not sure but it might be "Skunk Anassi"

[guinnessman]

Possibly Blue Pearl ?

I thought Seal was bald/shaven headed - which would fit with Skunk Anansie lead singer Skin.

Morcheeba singer Skye had canerows but I wouldn't say she looked or sounded male!

PLEASE - what are canerows!?!  Can someone put a link to a picture in please!

[apex204]

I think they mean cornrows, in the style that David Beckham had his hair braided a few months back... where it's braided down against the top of the head!

[kempie]

Canerows = cornrows = cornrolls

[acw]

Thanks!!  I only wanted a little bit of clarification.  Should have kept my curiosity to myself I suppose.  Thank you for answering though.  I know what cornrows are, but the example was very helpful anyway! :-)

[kempie]

Never keep your curiosity to yourself. Without the thirst for knowledge how Wood (sic) we ever learn?

[JinxtheCat]

It's none of those, no.

I think they were a British band and contained both sex members.

HELP!!!
