Last weekend someone played me Pat Benatar singing, "If he walked into my life" and "Can't help lovin that man".. From some album she made in that 70's before he reached “rock goddess” status..
This was a gorgeous voice with a really nice chest belt and of course she had that very solid soprano upper extension...and she knew what to do with the material…some lovely phrasing…
The rumor was she was supposed to replace Ronstadt in "Pirates of Penzance" but her at the time was becoming so immense that it became impossible to take time away from the “record business machine”....
She still singing and there’s still a voice there (as evidenced by this years "VH1: Diva’s Live" where she sang with Lisa-Marie Presley and wiped the floor with her)…
It’s still not too late to get some little club act together loaded with standards…hell maybe she can even replace Melanie in "Chicago"...
