Patty Smyth
当Patty Smyth和她的第一支乐队Scandal在1982年以一曲 Goodbye to You横扫北美乐坛的时候。MTV还在萌芽阶段。Alanis Morissette还在穿尿布。纽约出生的Patty Smyth在Madonna之前就向80年代的妇女们教述了该怎么保护自己该怎么样的生活。她的成功为后来者例如Alanis Morissette等创造了契机,当然还有Sheryl Crow。如果没有她,甚至就没有了后来的Lilith Fair。by Stephen Thomas ErlewineAfter leaving Scandal in 1984, vocalist Patty Smyth waited three years before launching her solo career with the Never Enough album. Although it sold respectably, it didn't have any major hit singles. Smyth returned to the top of the charts in 1992 with "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," a duet with Don Henley; the single hit number two and went gold. Its parent album, Patty Smyth, also went gold and featured two other minor hits, "No Mistakes" and "I Should Be Laughing."
