I have her 2-CD greatest hits set from Europe and pretty much every cut is awesome. She had a unique voice and I can see why perhaps she never had commercial pop success here. But she managed two top five hits in the UK, and we really missed out on both "One Day I'll Fly Away" (later covered by Nicole Kidman in 'Moulin Rouge') and especially "Almaz", my favorite.

"History Never Repeats" was one of the very first videos the network ever aired, followed closely by "I Hope I Never", "One Step Ahead" & "I Got You". If it wasn't for MTV, I might have missed them (as was the case for hundreds of bands for me back then!)<br><br>Hot Tracks remix service did a splendid Shep Pettibone-esque remix of "I Got You", really jumps at retro nights!

The El Paso Public Library's pitifully scant Pop & Rock LP collection--which, seriously, usually consisted entirely of one copy of The Fabulous Poodles' "Think Pink"--one day featured a new arrival: "East Side Story," by some band I'd never heard of. I took it home, dropped the needle, and Holy Crap! The rest is musical infatuation history. How did I first hear “Tempted”?
