Sharon Robinson
San Francisco native Sharon Robinson enjoyed a successful career as a songwriter, collaborating with and/or penning songs for a diverse list of artists including Leonard Cohen (her most formative creative partner), The Pointer Sisters, Don Henley, Patti LaBelle and many more. Her big break came when she worked as back-up singer for Cohen in the late '70s. They would go on to write dozens of songs together including one of his most famous tracks, "Everybody Knows", which would appear on Cohen's 1988 album I'm Your Man. She co-wrote Patti Labelle's "New Attitude", which became a hit on both the pop and dance charts thanks to its inclusion in the smash Eddie Murphy movie Beverly Hills Cop. In 2001 she produced the Cohen album 10 New Songs. Her 2008 debut album, Everybody Knows, features her soul-filled take on a handful of songs she co-wrote with Cohen as well as self-penned songs including "The High Road", and she promptly went back out on the road with Cohen. Her 2015 sophomore album Caffeine included more Robinson originals. Artists continued to cover her songs, including Bettye LaVette, who released Robinson's "One More Song" as a single from her 2020 album Blackbirds. That same year, Robinson issued Unreleased: Earlier Work, a collection of never-before-heard demos, some of which dated back 30 years.
