Sherry Kean (born Sherry Huffman) is a former Canadian pop and country singer, who had a Canadian Top 40 hit in 1984 with "I Want You Back".

Career

Kean was originally the lead vocalist for a Toronto band called The Sharks, consisting of herself, David Baxter, Bazil Donovan and Cleave Anderson. The band released only one single before Kean left to pursue a solo career. Baxter joined Kean's solo band, while Donovan and Anderson went on to form Blue Rodeo.

Kean signed to Capitol-EMI, and released the EP "Mixed Emotions" in 1983. The single "I Want You Back" was released in early 1984 and became a hit; it was followed by her full-length album debut, "People Talk", later that year. Kean won the Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist at the 1984 Juno Awards, and was also nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the U-Knows. "Would You Miss Me?" was also released as a single, but did not replicate the chart success of "I Want You Back".

Kean later released the country album "Maverick Heart" in 1987, which earned her another Juno Award nomination for Country Female Vocalist of the Year at the 1989 Juno Awards.

She resided in Burlington, Ontario during the 90's and may have been working on projects with a zydeco or cajun influence.
