Video Description:
From 1984's The Warrior's self-tittle smash-hit "The Warrior" by Scandal feat. Patty Smyth.
Review Band.- Scandal was a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. Formed in 1982, the band's two biggest hits were "Goodbye to You" (1982 - #65 U.S.) and "The Warrior" (1984 - #7 U.S.) Guitarist Zack Smith formed the mainstream pop/rock band Scandal after playing in various groups, inc
luding ones that featured Dee Murray and Davey Johnson of the Elton John band. Scandal's lineup was secured in 1982, with the addition of vocalist Patty Smyth; the rest of the band included bassist Ivan Elias, guitarist Keith Mack, keyboardist Benji King, and drummer Frankie La Rocka. After opening
for acts like the Kinks and Hall & Oates, the band released their debut single, "Goodbye to You," in 1982; their self-titled debut album followed soon afterward. "The Warrior" was released two years later. The title track was a Top Ten hit and the album went platinum. However, Smyth left for a solo career the following year, causing the band to break up.
Review Patty Smyth.- Patty Smyth (born June 26, 1957 in New York City, New York, USA) first enjoyed mainstream success in 1982 as vocalist and lead singer of the band Scandal. That band's self-titled debut release became Columbia Records' biggest selling EP ever, and was followed by a further hit
in 1984, "The Warrior" reached number seven on US Pop charts. In the mid-'80s, Smyth became friends with Valerie Bertinelli and her then-husband, Eddie Van Halen. When David Lee Roth left the band Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen invited Smyth to replace Roth as the band's lead singer. Smyth declined the
offer. Smyth dated punk musician Richard Hell for two years; their daughter, Ruby, was born in 1985. In April 1997, Smyth married John McEnroe; the couple have two daughters, Anna and Ava. Following two solo albums in 1987 and 1992, she secured a further hit record via a duet with Don Henley of Th
e Eagles; "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" peaked at number 2 in the US charts and went gold. Its parent album, Patty Smyth, also went gold and featured an additional Top-40 hit with "No Mistakes", as well as "I Should Be Laughing", a minor hit. She had previously recorded with Henley as a backing
vocalist on several songs on his albums Building The Perfect Beast and The End of the Innocence. She subsequently co-wrote the 1994 song "Look What Love Has Done", nominated for a Grammy and an Academy Award after its inclusion on the soundtrack to Junior. Further soundtrack commissions resulted i
n her penning the theme tune, "Wish I Were You", to the 1998 hit movie Armageddon. As a result of her renewed popularity, Columbia issued a retrospective album, Greatest Hits -- Featuring Scandal. Two new songs were included, including "Carnival Lights". The song, co-written with Bob Thiele Jr., co
ncerned her mother's, Betty Smyth, years as a trapeze artist. Smyth set out to promote the album on an acoustic tour, employing ex-Bullet Lavolta guitarist Duke Roth as her sideman. Note: Patty Smyth is sometimes confused with Patti Smith, the early punk musician.
