Marcella Detroit (born Marcella Levy, June 21, 1952) is a soprano vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter. She released her debut album Marcella in 1982 to little success before she joined Shakespears Sister with ex-Bananarama member Siobhan Fahey. Detroit sang the lead vocals on their biggest hit, "Stay", which was #1 in the United Kingdom for 8 consecutive weeks. Since leaving the band in 1993, Detroit has maintained a successful solo career, and from 2002 to 2007 fronted her own self-titled blues band.
Was one half of the group 'Shakespeares Sister' with Siobhan Fahey.
