Helen Schneider - Shadows of the Night 1981

Long live Helen Schneider!!!!!!!!!

HELEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a musician and a vocalist, I have to say Pat Benatar's version is way better. I don't know it she's doing it on purpose but her pronunciacion is choppy. She sounds like she lacks "soul" in her voice. Just my opinion. That's what I hear.....and I used to be a studio recording engineer (the sound guy).

Good news, there is a New Best-of featuring this song!!!!!!! I am definatly gettin' it.

Helen is American, not German.

well she has a german name sings in german sometimes and more popular there than america ..but ok

Don't get fooled.
Sandar Bullock has no German name, but is German.
And Mr. Ueberrroth, the organizer of the 1984 Olympic games has a name that can only be pronounced in German, but he is American.
The problem is that the USA has not many native names as there are not many natives left.. Most have names from other continents, as most Americans are not native born.
Maybe Seattle or Dakota is an exception.
So Amrican names are always namews from another country.

She was a classicla singer before.
Just watch her rendition of "Heideröslein" she sang in 1978.
Maybe the best take of a classical German folk song ever.

Pat Benetar coverd THIS version.
Helen sang it first.
It still rocks.

I made a mistake. For goodness sake, I didn't do my homework. But I admit that Helen Schneider is way better than Pat Benetar.
