With thanks to Rix, who alerted me to this wonderful Grass Roots cover by Mrs. Robby Benson, when I shared the Belinda Carlisle, Molly Ringwald and Susanna Hoffs version.
I never really followed Karla DeVito's career very closely. She is perhaps most recognizable for her work with Meat Loaf -- she toured with him and appeared in the famous "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" video when Ellen Foley, whose vocals are heard on the album, wasn't available. Yet I was still surprised to see that she's only released two studio LPs. On her way up, she did also contribute a song to the soundtrack for "The Breakfast Club" called "We Are Not Alone." although she didn't get the same bang for her buck that Simple Minds did.
