Underrated pop-rock classic from the 80s. She died way too young from a brain aneurism but her music is iconic!

She was great. I think she had a brain tumor or something similar.

I like her stuff.
But in reality her style of rock singing faded out affer the 80s. Just like Benatar and Heart and Rod Stewart. Ballad type rock was on the way out.
But its a great niche to listen to, sometimes when the nostalgia is right.

One of ‘the’ best songs of the 80s. Awesome stuff. She died way too young.

I never knew this was a cover version of another artist. I just listened to the other by “Raf”. It isn’t that bad.
But it is easy to see why the it is the LB version that went big. She Simply nailed it. And the Music style was so “New” at the time.
Kind of like how Sinead O’Connor took “Nothing Compares 2 You”
from Prince and owned it for all of eternity.
