b. 1957, Toledo, Ohio, U.S.A.
Shirley Murdock was born in Toledo, Ohio, U.S.A. and was the youngest of six children.
From an early age, Shirley was determined to be a singer.
In the late 70's she gave a demo of her voice to her cousin who worked for Roger Troutman.
Duly impressed, Roger hired her as a backing singer for his productions on artists including Zapp, The Human Body and Bad Bobby Glover.
She also toured as a backing singer before Roger secured her a recording deal with Elektra where he wrote / produced (with Zapp) 'Shirley Murdock' (1985), including 'Truth Or Dare' and the excellent 'The One I Need'.
'A Woman's Point Of View' followed in 1988, including 'Husband' and 'I Still Love You'.
In 1999 Shirley released 'Let There Be Love' (number 22 R & B).
In early 2000, Murdock toured in the inspirational / gospel play, 'Be Careful What You Pray For' with Cuba Gooding and David Peaston.
In 2002, Shirley released a gospel set for the Chordant label, entitled 'Home'.
