ELLEN FOLEY WIRD 70: DURCHBRUCH MIT MEAT LOAF
- Jun 06, 2021
“Paradise By The Dashboard Light“, das Teenager-Drama auf der Erfolgs-LP BAT OUT OF HELL (1977) von Meat Loaf, bescherte der hochtalentierten Sängerin Ellen Foley ihren Durchbruch. Zwar war sie nie im Video zu sehen - dort bewegt Karla DeVito die Lippen zu ihrem Gesang - das Duett öffnete Foley allerdings weitere Türen. Und so stand 1979 ihr Solo-Debüt NIGHT OUT in den Läden. Vor allem in Australien (#13) und in einigen europäischen Staaten (NL #1) konnte sie damit beachtliche Erfolge verzeichnen. Ihre Karriere als Rock-Sängerin blieb aber auf einem moderaten Level. Sie veröffentlichte noch ein paar Solo-LPs in den 80s, war Co-Frontfrau des Jim-Steinman-Projekts Pandora‘s Box Ende der Achtziger und spielte in zahlreichen Musicals, TV-Serien und Kinofilmen mit. Ihr musikalisches Schaffen ist von einer bestechenden Qualität, ihre Stimme einzigartig. Am 5. Juni ist 70 Jahre alt geworden.
