Nelson-born singer-songwriter Sharon O'Neill's first chart hit was in 1978 with 'Luck's on Your Table'. More radio and chart success was to come, first with 'Words' and then other singles: 'Asian Paradise', 'Maybe' and 'Maxine' are all included in APRA's Top 100 NZ Songs list. With a dirty-blonde-shag hairdo, leopard skin print clothing and her trademark shark tooth earring, Sharon was a kiwi sex symbol; years later her look would be the template for Outrageous Fortune's Cheryl West. O'Neill has also toured as a member of When the Cat's Away.
