Bio:
Patricia Smyth (born June 26, 1957) is an American singer and songwriter. She first came into national attention with the rock band Scandal and went on to record and perform as a solo artist. Her distinctive voice and new wave image gained broad exposure through video recordings aired on cable music video channels such as MTV. Her debut solo album Never Enough was well received, and generated a pair of Top 100 hits. In the early 1990s she reached the Top 10 with the hit single "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," a duet with Don Henley of the Eagles. She performed and co-wrote with James Ingram the song "Look What Love Has Done" for the 1994 motion picture Junior. The work earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media, as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. Smyth married retired tennis player John McEnroe in 1997.
Album:
Never Enough is the debut album by former Scandal singer Patty Smyth. It was released in 1987 on Columbia Records (also the group's label) three years after the band's breakup in 1984.On The Bloomberg Report, Smyth said the album "was never supposed to be a solo record; it was meant to be a record by Scandal Featuring Patty Smyth. Even though the band had broken up, I was still with Keith Mack; it was Zack and I that had ended our partnership."Though she would later have success as a songwriter, Smyth cowrote only the album's first and last tracks. The first – the title track – was a slight rewrite of a song of the same title from the self-titled debut album of then-current (in 1987) Hooters bandmembers Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian's former band, Baby Grand. The original version featured different lyrics sung by Baby Grand frontman David Kagan.Hyman and Bazilian, as well as others associated with The Hooters, including producer Rick Chertoff, had a significant hand in the making of this album.The album includes three cover versions. "Downtown Train", by Tom Waits, was covered that same year by country singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter for her album Hometown Girl and later in 1989 by Rod Stewart and included on his 1989 box set Storyteller. "Call To Heaven" was originally "Les Morts Dansant", from British hard rock band Magnum's 1985 album On a Storyteller's Night. "Isn't it Enough" was from Danny Wilde's 1986 release "The Boyfriend".The LP peaked at 66 in the U.S. and spawned three singles: the title track (#61 pop, #4 U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks), "Downtown Train" (#95 pop, #40 Mainstream) and "Isn't It Enough" (failed to chart on pop, #26 Mainstream).The album was produced by William Wittman and Rick Chertoff. Chertoff was one of the people on the production team of Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual, and would work with platinum-selling singer-songwriter Joan Osborne on her 1995 album, Relish.Musician reviewer J. D. Considine wrote simply: "In case you ever wondered what Eddie Money would have been like as a girl."
