On this day, January 18, 1981, Sheena Easton released her debut album, Take My Time. The album became an international success, reaching #24 on the Billboard 200 and introducing the world to Easton’s powerful vocals and pop charm.

Take My Time featured her breakout hit Morning Train (9 to 5), which topped the charts in the United States, Canada, and other countries. The album also included fan favorites like Modern Girl and For Your Eyes Only, further cementing Easton’s place as one of the standout pop stars of the 80s.

Fun Fact: Morning Train (9 to 5) was retitled for the U.S. release of the album to avoid confusion with Dolly Parton’s hit song 9 to 5, which was climbing the charts at the same time.

Trivia Question: What James Bond film featured Sheena Easton performing its theme song, making her the first artist to appear in the title sequence?
