Divinyls - I Touch Myself - Miguel - 04-23-2013
Quote:Chrissy Amphlett, former lead singer of legendary Australian act the Divinyls, has died, aged 53.
Amphlett had been battling illness for the last decade after first being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and then breast cancer.
Her husband and former bandmate Charley Drayton confirmed she succumbed to those illnesses in New York today, surrounded by friends and family.
..."Chrissy expressed hope that her worldwide hit "I Touch Myself" would be utilized to remind all women to perform annual breast examinations."

It made me very sad to hear that Chrissy Amphlett had died last week at such a young age. Even though I haven't listened to it much lately, I liked this record quite a bit. Their big record got popular during my senior year of college & I thought Chrissy had a really cool voice & was more than just a little bit sexy. Once I saw their 2nd single, "Love School", played on MTV, I got the album.
There several really good songs on this album and I think it's kind of a shame that most people have probably only heard their big single. So I thought It'd be nice to post a few of the other good tracks from the record in honor of Chrissy.
(Btw, the down arrow at the right of the TV doesn't want to work for me so I fear these are going to show up as links instead of videos in this post.)
