Shirley Murdock

Shirley Murdock (born May 22, 1957) is an American R&B singer-songwriter. Quotes I was a signed artist to Elektra when Computer Love came about. We were making my record and I traveled with Roger and he gave me the opportunity to come out and travel with him doing background. Which was great for a young artist ready to come out and debut. We had came back to the studio after traveling and I had heard the track and hook. I wrote the verses when we were in a rehearsal hall, I was going back and forth about what the lyrics should be. That opened the door for more writing. To know that we wrote a song so long ago that is still relevant till this day. Not knowing that people would be meeting people and finding love on websites and the way they are now with social media. He was really ahead of his time, so that’s mind blowing. To also know other artist such as Dr. Dre and Tupac sampled the song. So it has proceeded to have life, it’s like Computer Love was our baby then Computer Love had grand-babies. We got grand kids with Computer Love (laughs). Because I didn’t agree with infidelity but I also know that it’s life. Sometimes people make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. But I think it’s so important to know there are consequences. So to me to just sing the song as it was, would be part celebratory just as we lay. There has to be some type of morals, some type of turn-around to the story, to not just leave people in an as we lay messed up situation. I thought the answer should be that you have to think about the consequences. So that’s why I added those lyrics “we should have counted up the cost. But instead we got lost, in the second, in the minute, in the hour.” I wanted to point out how people are effected by our choices. So we can’t be so selfish to make decisions that are good for us, when everybody in your life is going to be effected by it. I just want them to get a gymslips into my life and into my journey. You know growing up in Toledo, Ohio and having a dream. All the steps and everything that happened, to make my life become a dream come true. Also to encourage other people with a dream, that their dream can come true as well. I’ve gone through a lot, I’ll be 62 years old this year. There’s a lot of life, a lot of living and a lot of things that happened. Ups and downs, triumphs, failures, but at the same time it’s about being able to get up. And having faith will get you through anything. To be able to have had an effect in this music industry, is mind blowing. Being a little girl listening to music and hoping and dreaming one day that I might get to share my gift to the world. And also watching people on the big screen and hoping to one day be on stage with them. So it’s just been an amazing journey and to just have the opportunity to open up the door and have people to come in and take a peek. Well unsung by recognition, would be unknown or unrecognized or upraised. But for me Unsung is an opportunity to for people to take a peek into my life. For me to share mt story. It doesn’t mean that it’s over, because as long as I got breathe and can keep doing what God blessed me to do. I’m gonna keep doing it until I’m sixth feet under.
