Marcia Hines

"Nothing survives," Jackson Browne once sang, "but the way we live our lives." Marcia Hines has lived a remarkable life.

Born in Boston, she started her singing career in 1966 using the stage name "Shantee Renee". "I thought that "Marcia Hines" was a bit plain and bland," she explains. "I remember doing the gig and a girl spotted me and said, "You're Shantee Renee!" I said, "No, I'm Marcia Hines." And that was the end of that name."

It was Marcia's first showbiz lesson - you have to be true to yourself. Marcia went to Woodstock in 1969, and a few months later she was on a plane headed for Australia - though she thought she was going to Austria. She also didn't know she was pregnant.
