Question
who did a cover of sheena eastons song "swear" in the 80's?
Dear Jim,
I don't know if there is anyone who covered SWEAR other than the one I remember. SWEAR appeared on SHEENA EASTON's 1984 album A PRIVATE HEAVEN. A minor hit for her peaking at #80 on the Hot 100 Chart on April 6, 1985, not too many people are aware that its songwriter TIM SCOTT first recorded it in 1983 for his EP called SWEAR.
There's your answer, TIM SCOTT in 1983. In effect, SHEENA EASTON was the one who covered it in 1984.
Maraming salamat po!

Expertise
I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.
Experience
Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
