Jacquie O'Sullivan

Lovely brunette singer/songwriter Jacquie O'Sullivan was born on August 7, 1960 in London, England. Jacquie began her professional musical career in 1978 as one of three backing vocalists on the album "If You Can't Stand the Heat" by Status Quo. She appeared in the video clip for "Night Train" by Visage in 1982 and the video clip for "Who's That Girl?" by the Eurythmics in 1983. O'Sullivan was a member of the punk/country/rockabilly group Shillelagh Sisters in the mid 80s. Jacquie popped up as an extra in the 1986 film "Absolute Beginners" and worked for a short time in 1987 as a backing vocalist in lip-synced TV performances for the British pop band Living in a Box. In March, 1988 O'Sullivan replaced Siobhan Fahey as a member of the hugely popular and successful all-girl pop outfit Bananarama (founding members Sarah Dallin and Keren Woodward have known Jacquie since they were 18 years old). She appeared in the music video for Bananarama's fund-raising cover of "Help!" by The Beatles and was featured on the full-length album "Pop Life." However, Jacquie was dissatisfied with her status as basically a paid employee with no say or influence on the band's music or vision and eventually left the group in 1991. After leaving Bananarama O'Sullivan went on to form the disco act Slippery Feet. In 2001 she signed a three record contract deal with the label Alma Fame Records, but only two albums were released in total. Jacquie briefly appeared in the video clip for the song "Pulsation" by Siobhan Fahey in 2005.
