You probably recognize Amanda Marshall best for songs like Birmingham, Dark Horse or Everybody's Got A Story. Marshall's music has been inescapable on Canadian radio for more than 20 years. But during that time, she sort of disappeared. Now, she's back with a new album, Heavy Lifting. Marshall tells Tom Power why she's been gone so long, what it was like to have Elton John talk about her music on TV in the early days of her career, and what it's been like to be mixed race in the music industry.
