The Go-Go's singer who later scored solo hits like 'Heaven Is a Place on Earth'.
For the full arc, listen to 'We Got the Beat' and then 'Heaven Is a Place on Earth.' That's the story right there.
She started out fronting the all-female punk band The Go-Go's, which gave us 'We Got the Beat' and 'Our Lips Are Sealed.' After going solo, she landed a massive international hit with 'Heaven Is a Place on Earth' and kept releasing songs like 'Circle In The Sand' into the 2000s. That shift from punk energy to bright pop vocals is a pretty specific slice of late-80s radio.
She first gained attention in the late 1970s as lead singer of The Go-Go's. Her solo career took off with the 1986 album 'Belinda' and the single 'Mad About You,' then she kept recording through albums like 'Runaway Horses' and 'Voilà' in 2007.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
