Exclusive Audio: Norah Jones

February 23, 2007 10:26 AM ET

Angel-voiced enchantress Norah Jones recently Q&Aed with our Austin Scaggs and discussed her support of Barack Obama, being Blue Note's highest-selling artist and how sudden success overwhelmed her. We were so captivated by her voice, we figured we'd share some audio excerpts for your listening pleasure:

On her favorite Nirvana song and performing with Dave Grohl.

On why her lyrics are decidedly anti-Bush.

On her "unpunk" punk band side-project.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
