Subject: totally stumped!!

Written By: Robb McCarthy on 3/11/1999 at 4:14 a.m.

Okay,now I've had a slight problem figuring out a certain song from the early 80's and it has been haunting me for at least 16 years!!!!The problem being I dont have an artist name or song title(now you see my problem)but I do know this much which might shed light for someone else:the song is most likely from 1980 to 1983;its done my a female artist,I was always under the impression(by the chorus)the song was titled Azriel,(but am learning now no such song exists)and the voice resembles benatar"hell is for children",scandal,kim carnes"betty davis eyes"and almost like janis joplins"take a lil piece of my heart"-'cept a lot faster and harder.I know it wasnt that obscure,for I heard it on the radio at the time (pop/rock station),and last but not least the song title if not azriel,might be along the lines of piece of my heart(tho i tried beat of a heart/SCANDAL,take me to heart/quarterflash)PLEASE HELP!!My family and friends are on the verge of committing me to a "quite" hospital,and stare at me as though I am completely losing it everytime I look to them for help on this song......can someone stop this insanity?????

It isn't "Total Eclipse of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler is it? She has that gravelly voice like Kim and Janis. Can you give me anymore of the chorus etc.?

Try looking up Allanya Myles (SP?) She sings "Black Velvet", and other songs like "Love Is". She's got a gravely, Kim Carnes kinda voice too. Good luck!

This sounds like a winner. I did not even remember her. Good call!
