    Patti Smythe. She went on her own after their second release, and faded
    after her first solo album.
    
    Good band, bad decision on her part.

    Their only other brush with success was the song "I am the Warrior".
    The singer's name is Patty Smythe and I remember reading an article way
    back when that mentioned that she was less than 5' tall (in case you
    care). They were talking about how they had to get band members to
    crouch around her during photo shoots.

    What is the name of her solo album?  Is it still available?  Is it any
    good?  

    
    I think the solo album was called 'The Warrior'. Don't know how it was.
    
    Smythe also appears as a backup guest vocalist on 'Where Do the Children 
    Go' by the Hooters ('Nervous Night') and 'Sunset Grill' by Don Henley 
    ('Building the Perfect Beast').
    
    Was it my imagination, or did Ms. Smythe also have a Barbara
    Walters'-like speech problem with r's, pronouncing them like w's ? I
    seem to remember the 'I am the warrior' chorus being sung by her as "I
    am the wawwiuh'.  

    Great song "Goodbye to You"!
    
    I never knew who did that even though my band did that tune - it was
    just on a tape of tunes I had to learn.

There was an EP released by Scandal, and that had the hits "Love's Got A
Line On You" and "Goodbye To You". For their second album, the band
was called Scandal Featuring Patty Smythe, and that album had the hit
"The Warrior" on it.

Patti then went fully solo, but had little success. Although she did do
a cover of Tom Wait's "Downtown Train" years before Rod Stewart did.....

And she is cute -  I have a poster of her (from the first EP) hanging in
my office at work!  8^)

    Strange but True Fact:
    
    
    Van Halen considered Patty Smythe as a replacement when Roth left the
    band!!!!!!  
    
    
    
                                                     Chip

    
    	Oh, come on now!!  Why would they do that?
    
    							GTI

    Like it or not they considered her,  I can't explain their reasoning.
    I'm just glad it didn't happen.  I wonder if she had joined VH if they
    still would of used titles like OU812?

Yeah, with the titanic mind-genius/music-wizard Sammy "55" Hagar available,
who'd want a beautifu; woman with a beautiful voice?

    
    I wish Patti *did* join Van Halen.  It's been a long time since
    a female has sung straight-ahead rock with a virtuoso guitarist.
    
    Pat Benatar and husband-guitarist Neil Geraldo come to mind.
    
    Heart....well, let me put it this way:  I *still* miss Roger Fisher.
    
    Beyond that, who else is there?
    
    Brian

    Exena Cervenka and Billy Zoom from X.

    re: .12
    
    Right  on!!!!!!!
    
    

    Lita Ford wouldn't have been bad.  She's better to look at than Sammy
    and is probably as good on guitar:) :)  

    Last news I heard was that she had married Richard Hell (of "and
    the Voidoids" and such).

    re .15   Thanks for breaking my heart

    
    
     I've been a long time fan of Patti Smyth. Her second solo effort was
    called "Never Enough" which the title cut got alot of airplay several
    years ago. It is a very good album, as good or better than "Warrior"
    if you liked that one. One of the great female voices in rock. I would
    really like to hear more from her.

    I can't find either of these in any record store.  Are they out of
    print?

    
     The vinly might be out of print, but I have both releases on CD. I
    see them occasionally in the bins. I'm sure someone could order them
    for you.

      I think she was the same person who co-wrote "Because the Night"
    with Bruce Springsteen. 
    
    
    -Tony

    That was Patti Smith.  Although I don't believe she co-wrote it, she
    did in fact record it.
    
    Mark.

    
    
     Thats correct. The album only credits Bruce S. with writing the song.
    Easy to get the two confused with the names. I would love to hear Patti
    Smyth do "Because The Night".
    
                                   mike
    

    Re: Because the Night
    
    Depends on which album you look at.  Patti's album says she did the
    lyrics.  Bruce's version on the live set has slightly different words.

    Don Henley WILL die if he makes time with my Patti

    
    Its a great tune!

    I just bought the new CD.  It's outstanding.  The best cut is actually
    the first cut "No Mistakes".  

    "Sometimes love just ain't enough..."
    
    Two of my all-time favorites singing an incredible song!!  Every time
    I hear the song, I end up singing and humming it for hours after!

    
    
    No, the best one is "I should be Laughing"... that has to be the best
    one on the CD.

    She is fantastic!!  Does anyone know if she has a video for her new
    tune?
    
    
    Pete
    

    She does have a video.  It gets airplay on VH1.
    
    Where is she from?  She has kind of a country accent in her voice, but
    its a very unusual (and, might I add, sexy) accent.

    i want to sing with her
    
    
    
    
    Pete
    

> Where is she from?  

She's from NYC. Don't know where the accent came from.....

    I caught her video on mtv last night.  Not bad!

     I Picked up the new one a week or so ago. I really like it alot. I
    don't like it as well as Never Enough, but still its a fine piece of
    work with great tunes on it. I think I'd like most anything Patti did.
    By the way what song is the video you are seeing?
    
                                                        mike
    

    Mike,
    
    I believe it's her latest. The one she sing with Don Henley.
    
    She is a cutie.
    
    Pete
    

    
    
     I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I know what song you're
    talking about, but can't remember the name of it. 
    
                                                          mike
    

    I saw Scandal's Warrior CD at HMV in the UK.  However, the price of
    17.50 pounds (about $30) was to steep for me.  Haven't seen this
    anywhere in the U.S.
