Word is she has been working with YouTube sister group Cimorelli. That should be something to see.

great writer great perfomer

She hasn't got a bad voice. She's always moaning about how 'terrible' her voice is, and it turns out that's it's actually pretty damn good. I think it is anyway! She's good enough to be a performer as well as a writer.

worked with her before she had any charted songs, she got me my first job in the industry with Steven Angelica@ the Record Co., met her at DUKES cafe at the Tropicana Hotel West Hollywood, she would always say, "I WILL BE THE GREATEST SONG WRITER IN THE WORLD", shit she was right !!!!that a girl Diane, you did it Baby!!!! such a great person! one of a kind.

she and holly knught were both very good at music but for some reason they had to make most of their music for other people.

@The096757 In Diane's case....she has major stage fright. She has said this several times in interviews. She's never wanted to be an artist, just the creator of hits!!!

[The096757]

@benmcd2007

prove it?

she sings great here. a little bit of jiggers sharpens the skills of true artists. she is a true artist not some media created weirdo.

i always hated chicago but their late 80s music was good. Heart or a female singer  should have recorded this song." i get weak "was a good song too especially the extended version by belinda carlise.

[kevinodegard]

Yes, I was on that cultural exchange visit. This show happened right after that.

[TiiaSantavirta]

@kevinodegard yeah, I remember having Your autograph :) Last night I was looking for letter from Diane and Steinberg they sent me after that trip.. I still have to find that cassette, when Diane was "interviewing" rest of You at hotel lobby.. Nice memories :)

[TiiaSantavirta]

Is there any other live/demo/recorded songs where DW sings, would love to hear more. She is the one, when it comes to songwriting, can't even find words for her, she is so in her own league. But I would love to find more of her as a performer.. I guess I am not going to find. But I can always wish. Anyway thanx a million Kevin for posting this!! Do I remember right, that You were too in Finland/Moscow in 87 (Music Speaks Louder Than Words)?

[AnnaLeePechak]

NOOOOO!!!! I AM her biggest fan!!!! As a songwriter in Memphis, I have studied her and admired her ability to pen such awesome lyrics and melodies!!!! She is my mentor and doesn't even know it. THE BEST songwriter in my opinion!!!!
