Hi!  I'm really trying to find this tune for my Mom.  I've searched pretty much everywhere online, to no avail. 
Apparently, this song came from the late 80's (maybe very early 90's), but sounds like an early 60's kind of ballad. 
Mom has a snippet of the song on a cassette, and she thought it was Annie Lennox, but every search under her has
turned up nothing.  All I have is the chorus, and if anyone has any idea, PLEASE let me know!

Diamonds and pearls
Won't you send me
All of the world
Wrapped in ribbons
Placed (?) in my hands
Flowers at my doorstep
I turned down the love
I didn't understand...

Every search for "Diamonds and Pearls" just gives me the Prince tune, the Kansas tune, and a few others that aren't it. 
If you know it, let me know!  Thanks for reading!  :)

Sorry, I tried searching as well but no luck...

ok..good luck..i just spent about 15 min on it to no avail.. :-\\

it's not some dolly p. song?

in the 70's Joan Baez did one about Diamonds and Rust??

I'm looking for the same song... I don't rember the artist either, but I'm sure it's not Annie Lennox... Have you found the song yet?

Found it... Sherry Kean

ok..good luck..i just spent about 15 min on it to no avail.. :-\\
::) ::)

This song is called "I Want You Back" by Sherry Kean...(1 hit Canadian wonder)

I dated her son for two years

I know "I Want You Back" inside and out and this song is not it.  I did a search and I too came up with Kansas and Prince  :(

My mom has this tape on a cassette that she got from the radio station but no artist is listed on the tape.  It is not Prince or Kanasas, or that Sherry woman from Canada.  If you find out who the song is by let me know PLEASE!!!

Thanks alot!

can you give us alittle more info on the song?  more lyrics maybe or a sound bite....

journey's 'when i think of you' is on the  LYRICSTYLE.COM  website

Sorry, I tried searching as well but no luck...


That song was DEFINITELY sung by Sherry Kean.  She was a flash in the pan singer who made the one album then disappeared.  I don't know what happened to her.

The song was called Diamonds and Pearls.  She also did another song called "I want you back" and another great little tune called "Would you Miss Me".

I loved all her songs and saw her in concert and she didn't even need a microphone her voice was so powerful.

I looked high and low for her online and nothing...I once found this song on Kazaa but that was many years ago.

Hope that helps.  Try old record companies or Amazon.com.

Sherry Kean was originally known as Sherry Huffman, vocalist for The Sharks who were a steady fixture on the Toronto Queen Street bar circuit in the late 1970's/early '80s. Though an appearance on a Chameleon Records compilation called 'No Pedestrians' gave the act a solid profile, the band's more popular live configuration consisted of the rhythm section of Basil Donovan (bass) and Cleave Anderson (drums). This line-up never recorded.

Kean (with guitarist Baxter as producer and co-writer) left to pursue a solo career while Donovan and Anderson teamed up with former Hi-Fi's members Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor to form Blue Rodeo.

Kean soon signed a deal with Capitol-EMI. Recording for her debut LP began in the Spring of 1983 with producer Mike Thorne at Media Sound, NYC. Her backing band in the studio was J.T. Lewis (drums), Fernando Sanders (bass), and Pat Irwin and David Baxter (guitars, keyboards).

Five of these songs were released as an EP in the summer of 1983 under the title 'Mixed Emotions' and recording continued during December back in Toronto at Manta Sound in hopes of building an even stronger debut LP release. Kean's Toronto studio band consisted of Terry Martel (drums), Ian De Souza (bass), Scott Davey (guitar), David Baxter (guitars, keyboards), Mike Thorne and Tommy Mandel (keyboards).

In early 1984 "I Want You Back" was lifted as a single from the 'Mixed Emotions' EP and launched Kean as a serious radio contender. The B-side to the 12" single, called "Universe Of Two", was an extended mix done at ESP Studios in Buttonville by Dee Long and John Jones.

Finally, the debut LP, 'People Talk', was released in mid-1984. It contained three songs from the 'Mixed Emotions' EP (including 'I Want You Back'), two other tracks from that release were abandoned in favour of "Be Mine" and "Stop This Sorrow" from the 1983 New York sessions, while the album was fleshed out with five new songs from the December 1983 Toronto sessions -- including the title track.

Kean won a 1984 Juno Award for Female Vocalist Of The Year; she was also nominated for Female Vocal Of The Year at the 1985 U-Knows.

However, her time with Capitol was short lived and Kean found herself recording her sophomore album for A & M Records. The LP was self-produced with the assistance of David Baxter and Bob Doidge both of whom contributed musically to the recording along with Ian De Souza (bass), Kevin Breit (guitar), Garth Breit (drums), Mike Heffernan (keyboards), Ben Mink (violin), Bill Dillon (violin, guitar), the late Roman Zak (accordian) and Tom Cochrane singing back-ups on "I Believe In You" and dueting with Kean on "Baby Talk".
