Norah Jones

Songwriter: Norah Jones

Producer: Jacquire King

She's gone out
Dancing in her red shoes
Cause they dance better than the blues
She knows later on she must choose
But she don't want to

At the party she went in
Knowing fully well she's too thin
Avoids the stares of all the men
Just drinking gin

She don't know when
All of her friends are gonna give up on her
Instead she'll just give up on them
It's easier than changing

She looks around at all the men
And invites one in...

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
