Okay, here's a good one. You never don't hear this one; every weekend, some radio station is playing a "Best of the 1980s" weekend and this one surely belongs. It's a shame that she didn't have the hit parade that her voice deserved. But, The Warrior did become The Survivor; I saw her last December, doing a Christmas show in NYC. Still cute and spunky, she led her band (half of whom weren't even born when she first broke out, it seemed) through a warm and intimate show mixed with old, new and holiday songs. The voice hadn't aged as well as the songs, but the spirit was still there.
