#BelindaCarlisle

Well Belinda Carlisle was as awesome as expected last night. She might not have quite the reach for the high notes that she used to, but her voice still has that gorgeous vibrato and it's a pleasure to hear her singing.

Dancing across the stage barefoot and in a flowy black dress she obviously enjoyed belting out all her solo hits, plus Our Lips Are Sealed from the Go-Gos days (a song she dedicated to its writer, the late great Terry Hall). It didn't take long before the audience (mostly people of, ahem, a certain age) were up on our feet singing and dancing along.

And as a special bonus the unbilled support act was Roland Gift, whose voice is similarly still there and gave us 25 minutes of glorious FYC hits.

10/10 would concert again.

"Band of Gold" is a song written and composed by former #Motown producers #HollandDozierHolland (under the pseudonym of Edythe Wayne) and #RonDunbar. It was a major hit when first recorded by #FredaPayne in 1970 for the #Invictus label, owned by H-D-H. The song has been recorded by numerous artists, notably competing 1986 versions by contrasting #pop singers #BelindaCarlisle and #BonnieTyler, and a 2007 version by #KimberleyLocke.

Go-Go's vocalist Belinda Carlisle touches on the sentiments of songs of the 60's & early 70's and her love for the #GoldenState shared in her upcoming new album ‘Once Upon a Time in #California.'

In the linked interview she recounts listening to AM hits radio and falling in love with the very same #popmusic songs she is now covering by Burt Bacharach, Leon Russell, Gordon Lightfoor and others, as well as memories of spending nights with Harry Nilsson at her husband's Brentwood restaurant.
