SHIRLEY A. SPARKS
A Rising Star
Shirley Annette Sparks was born in Columbia, SC, in the early 1960s and moved to the New York Tri-state area by the dawn of the ’70s. She grew up singing, with The Carol Burnett Show, The Flip Wilson Show, and other broadcasts filling her home. Dance and song in front of the mirror was a common occurrence.
She seized each opportunity to engage with the craft of performance arts.
Student of the Arts
In fall 1978, she enrolled at Nassau Community College, choosing theater and performance as her major.
Anchor on the Stage
She performed, studied, and performed again. For over three semesters, she took the stage.
The Tour Deferred
By the decades end, she had even become connected with a regional band, excited to experience her first tour; Family obligations led her down another path…
The Return to Form
She is not obligated to sing. Shes chooses to sing. The wait is over. Shirley is in the pre-production phase of her first album. After 40 years, she’s returning to the stage and reclaiming her space. The microphone is yours…
