Shirley Murdock
Do you know that female voice on Zapp and Roger Troutman’s “Computer Love” and “Chocolate City?” That would be Ms. Shirley Murdock, her backing vocals with the Ohio-based funk band landed her a solo deal with Elektra that spawned one of her biggest hit “As We Lay.” The song spoke of the story of dual adultery, the epitome of worldly experiences. But in 2002 Murdock, released on T.D. Jakes’ record label Dexterity Sounds her debut gospel effort titled Home, which is filled with beautiful ballads of praise. She hasn’t left R&B, proving she embraces both genres. She appeared on Bigg Robb’s 2009 LP Jerri Curl Muzic=(The Latest) on the cut “Family Reunion Song.”
