The Beauty of British Song: Corinne Drewery

Corinne Drewery is the stylish, sexy frontwoman of the pop group Swing Out Sister, which comprises herself and Andy Connell. (A third member, Martin Jackson, left years ago.) They were one of the few decent British groups to emerge in the eighties.

Swing Out Sister swung out and broke out in 1986 with their hit song "Breakout" from their LP It's Better To Travel and followed up with 1989's Kaleidoscope World, which featured the hit single "The Waiting Game." Drewery captivated fans with her flapper haircut and sassy vocal style.

In addition to being the group's lead singer, she also writes the lyrics for its songs.
