Dalbello - Wait For An Answer

[systemspel]

I should say that this person didn't need fame and stardom, though talented enough for a host of artists herserlf, she turned her attention to other mattetrs. (All conjecture, of course). I hope her current projects -whatever they are- are as fulfilling as the music she recorded! Though hers is accessiblr, I miss a voice like it in today's pop music.

[merzyification]

I love you, girl :-)

[jacquesjunk]

The only thing I'd ever heard hers was Pretty Girls & Gonna Get Close to You-I think that's the title-& I'm on the W. Coast. Little Cdn-only-dist. artists -like Luba- end up owing huge bucks to record co.s w/ no way to repay unless you get US or Int'l. dist. & promo. There just aren't enough people in Cda. alone. Anyhow, I liked her voice when she SANG; I have no clue what kind of weird Ziggy Stardust crap this is, but it is not doing anything to show off her chops & it has no soul.

this is the original of this song, imho very much better than the cover, also imho Lisas best Track ...

[804pillow]

E-P-I-C-!

[Forestski]

Great song - - I only know the Heart version (one of Ann's BEST recorded vocals ever). Dalbello's vocal stylings are not my cup of tea, though.

[socksandpistols]

Oh, projections.

[socksandpistols]

Oh, anima.

[sekhmetbastet]

Both versions are great. Dalbello was definately ahead of her time!

[SpankRamen2]

I remember this song, but I never knew who sang it. Thank you for sharing this with us. You just brought back a really nice memory from my childhood.

[Khambalia22]

She probably succumbed to dirty politics from within the music industry. sorry, no names but there are some real you know whats out there!

[karrtt1234]

This is another Dalbello song that Heart has covered along with Black on Black... Lisa u r so amazing come back and perform for us.. we miss u large !!!

[OU8124T]

Awesome performance, thanks for sharing!

[DiscoCat78]

She did do background vocals for Boz Scaggs single "Miss Sun", she really does have a great voice. And David Lee Roth ripped off her album makeup job for "Whofourmansays" on his "Eat Em and Smile" LP. Check it out.

[ShadowLadyLost]

He sure did. Many ppl have tried to duplicate her style, but NO ONE ever could. She is a total one of a kind. NO ONE else like her!!!

[slavenomore]

she's so pretty!

[Onlydreamin1959]

I just can't understand why Dalbello didn't endure the industry for much longer than she did. She has such a strong, rich voice and it's pure magic. She was always a little ahead of her time. All of her songs are creative and have something different to offer. I hear her once in awhile in commercials, now. Wish she'd give it another try.

[ShadowLadyLost]

I agree...wholeheartedly!!!

[angieslindmusic]

@Onlydreamin1959

She didn't record any Diane Warren songs..... why didn't she want to record commercial, "sellable" songs? Maybe because she thought pop music at the time was shit.

[mccoobs]

@Onlydreamin1959 she has a wicked voice, etherial lyrics, and a base, almost animalistic sound / feel to her music! If only....

[nycboy31]

heart's version is more rock styled...what year is this from?

[anettefan]

1984.

[saltwatercb]

This is from 1984; Heart's version is from 1987. I agree--Heart's is more straightforward rock. The arrangement here has got more of a goth/new wave feel to it. If you like Dalbello's version, I highly recommend the WhoManFourSays album from which it hails. Very dark and powerful with strong 80s electronic feel. She seems a little crazy/deranged throughout the album, but it totally works.

[804pillow]

intense!

[harry544]

manoman, das is ein geiler song. lisa hat ja so ne geile stimme. und kann schön schreien!!! ... gam

[cambro64]

She made me hard and limp at the same time!

[somewhatlongdong]

Lisa Dalbello may be one of the most influential lesbians in Canadian history. (besides Anne Murray.)

[sliver345]

I just love this song. I always thought that no one else had ever heard of it. Thanks people for showing that there are some other Lisa Dalbello fans out there.

[heyyodave1]

The song is awesome , but the group "Heart" does a better job of nailing the high notes . this one is boring . Long live Ann and Nancy Wilson ,

[nih88]

I bought the music casette with this and other Dalbello-songs in the early Eighties, and listened to them for years. I remember that she appeared on Norwegian TV; maybe it was in 1984.

Love the lyrics of her songs. And those drums are great.

[borashen]

can you please post black on black on here? Would love to hear dalbello's version...i have never heard it before!

if you can thanks!

if not!

thanks for this great vid!

[kevman1171]

look on the myspace page for her, you can at least hear it. Seems nearly identical to heart's lyrically, so not sure why they get writing credits...

[kevman1171]

sorry, it was on there recently, but just checked and no 'black on black' on the page anymore - sounded REALLY good, tho.

[prettyboysing]

There are actually a LOT of lyrical differences. The opening for example: Lisa A pretty little altar boy daddy's little pride and joy change the water into wine touch yourself and you go blind Heart Daddy's little soldier boy Momma's little pride and joy both hands on the apron string don't you touch that dirty thing Not to mention the fact that musically it is totally different!

[rckr2000]

Guess Heart made the lyrics more mainstream to appeal to a bigger audience. I'd take Dalbello's lyrics over theirs any day. She Rocks!

[AngryAgain]

daBello has seen more money from HEART & QUEENSRYCHE doing her songs than she ever made on her own doing her songs

[borashen]

can you tell me which songs queensryche covered?

[AngryAgain]

Gonna Get Close To You

[Sliver008]

OMG, my dad's so exited to find this song *lol

[tall32guy]

I had NO idea that Heart;s version was a remake! LOL I thought THEY were the first to perform it.

[marcelsingor]

THIS IS SOOO GOOD!

[prettyboysing]

Wow! I've been trying to hear Lisa D's version of this song for a long time. I was only familiar with Heart's remake. They are very different, but there are some vocal embellishments that Ann Wilson took right from the original!

[theshadowboxer]

I love it... I wish her site was still up and she was still putting out new music for us. Whore is still constantly on my playlist...

[Lubraltar]

Even that time in the early/mid-80s when high quality music was standard Dalbello nevertheless was an outstanding artist with unique sound and timbre
