Divinyls ~ Sleeping Beauty (Full Screen)

[@TheTimeDetective42]

I've listened about 1000 times to this unbelievably good song.

[@andrewburns9741]

Still the best Australian female artist ever.

I did a gig a support gig with my band back in the early eighties at Bombay Rock on the Gold Coast where we supported The Divinyls, and I met Chrissy back stage. Geez what a funny woman had us in stitches. A beautiful soul she was.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

same lol

[@shayneoneill1506]

God I think around that point in history I probably would have been speechless with awe. Then again, I was an oversexed 15yo boy lol. And boy did me and my Dad love Chrissy.

[@boydscott1451]

The Bombay rocked, hey!!!!

[@Rosszac]

I rode my mountain bike past the site where that venue was today

[@BDogs10]

What a unique chick. What have we got these days? Kimmy K clones etc. sad 😂

[@trevorthetherapist4200]

😍😍😍 the permanent pout princess Chrissie Amphlett

[@recordrob3887]

I haven't heard this song in 35 years (I'm from Canada). I remember liking it okay then, but now it's kicking my ass. Great hook, tight band, terrific vocal performance.

[@GRAW2dobber]

I worked at the Jump Club (The Club) in Collingwood in the mid 80’s as a glassy. The Divinyls played eight nights in a row. I saw all eight gigs, they were all perfect. I have truly been spoiled as no other act; can hold a candle to the Divinyls and their live performances.

[@petewhittaker7888]

WOW!

[@gazatlongyard6731]

What a wee club it was too, I saw Hunters and Collectors there, they were very non commercial and just brilliant , Lucky you to see them all those shows , cheers gh

[@findJLF]

I remember that room - fuckin' great space. I miss The Club.. Back then Collingwood was the place to see great live music.

[@henningtacey8857]

As an 🇦🇺... I am embarrassed by the lack of views, knowledge, love... For this band. Fact. 💜

I was 14 back in 1985 when I first heard this on FM 104 Brisbane. Been a fan ever since. Miss you Chrissy :(

[@MsGoon40]

First saw this on Mtv. I was 15.

[@new2shooting965]

So sorely missed, she provided the soundtrack to my teenaged years and will never be forgotten.

[@jennieoreilly6774]

Yeah right

[@dansweet2499]

Greatest frontwoman in Rock in my opinion but so underrated we miss you Chrissy RIP our sleeping beauty

[@doughertyjamese.749]

died way too soon but she was suffering so much So sorely missed, she provided the soundtrack to my teenaged years and will never be forgotten.

[@waynejohnson9993]

Chrissy u were a true aussie legend...…….still listen to your beautiful voice and songs for ever.....so sadly missed angel.....never to be forgotten....

[@tonybletas930]

One of a kind! What a fucking loss made so much worse knowing there'll never be another woman even remotely close to standing so high in the world of music!

[@Thetrucky69]

+Tony Bletas Very fucken true mate.

[@kassandraheywood1030]

Well said. She rocked it hard and no one will ever replace her R.I.P Chrissy

[@MrPete1966]

Grace has shades of Chrissie, I reckon. the spunk, the pout, the SASS! Definitely one to watch!

[@BDogs10]

One of their Best songs

[@rustythoughts]

Saw them at Panther’s in the early ‘90s, great gig! It was a time for great music in modest sized venues but The Divinyls still really stood out.

[@bluejhaygrl]

I love all of the Divinyls but this is my favourite........The best female lead singer EVER! What a gal...love you Chrissy. Gone to soon xxx

Divinyls Chrissy Amphlett songs are from 198o and still slaps harder then most songs nowadays. Cheers from Australia. Aged 53 years, Amphlett died on 21 April 2013 at her home in New York City after a protracted battle with breast cancer since 2010. Amphlett stated that she had been unable to receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy as treatment for the cancer due to her multiple sclerosis. Amphlett's cousin Patricia Thompson announced the news in an official public statement: "Our beloved Chrissy peacefully made her transition this morning. Christine Joy Amphlett succumbed to the effects of breast cancer and multiple sclerosis, diseases she vigorously fought with exceptional bravery and dignity." In 2014, some of Australia's leading female artists came together to cover "I Touch Myself" to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. In 2017, the band performed a one-off show in Perth with The Preatures' Isabella Manfredi and Jack Moffit joining as guests on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, respectively. McEntee, Grossman and Harvey completed the line-up. In December 2018, McEntee announced he would be reforming the group with new singer Lauren Ruth Ward, ex-Divinyls guitarist Frank Infante and a new rhythm section for an Australian tour, to begin in 2019. However, this announcement was criticised by Drayton and several fans as an "ultimate disrespect", with Drayton stating that anyone other than Amphlett who fronted the Divinyls should "seek some trustworthy advice". On 6 February 2019, the Australian tour was cancelled. In early January 2021, former band drummer Warren McLean died. Original drummer Richard Harvey died on 19 July 2022, his passing announced on social media by his bandmate from The Party Boys Paul Christie.

[@nicolecastle5927]

I was 14 when this came out and I was hooked. I strutted around doing my best Chrissy impersonation for that entire year. What an amazing talented, fierce woman she was...gone too soon.

[@tanias4877]

Another underrated Aussie band, juv u Chrissie ❤

[@Abegoldhatch]

Chrissy was one of the sweetest and nicest person in the Rock ‘n’ Roll scene, with strongly scrunched voice that gives you goosebumps.

[@kassandraheywood1030]

R.I.P Chrissie. You are an aussie legend. Never to be forgotten. Not now or ever.Why did you go so early.God takes the young.

[@bondoqbn7318]

They never had a bad song. Everyone a classic Australian Rock classic! RIP Chrissy Rock Godess.

[@CoreyHunter]

A real original, so talented, gone too soon......

[@moniquedouglas2448]

I love the video. But to see Chrissie perform this live with the rest of Divinyls is a memory always with me. She was magnificent live. Original, intense, and mesmerising.

[@truespyfan]

What a truly class act Chrissy was.. and the whole band. Just an amazing voice... no other singer like her with the power and raspyness in her voice... Love to go back to the 80's and see them again in the sydney live scene...

[@lindadote]

+Tony Bletas......yeah, that's for sure. Divinyls were a superb band with a phenomenal frontwoman in Chrissy. I used to watch her live performances in amazement, she had so much energy in that little body, always a spectacular show. Chrissy (and Divinyls) was a truly special act in the days when we were spoilt for choice (musically) and sadly, I can't see the void left behind ever being filled. She is missed.

[@divernater]

When I was growing up on Sydneys eastern suburbs we would see Chrissie and the Divinyls often, , such a powerhouse performance every time,, and the soundtrack to my teen surfing days ,,then in the 90's on stage at the Sydney GLBTQ Sleaze Ball, 'Pleasure and Pain' what a woman what a voice, we love you Chrissie and miss you,, R.I.P.,,

[@bondoqbn7318]

So good man. This legendary Australian Rock band never released a bad song they are all great.

[@adrianwilkinson4590]

There will never be another like her. An extraordinary ,talented and slightly scary being on her way to redemption.

[@trevorgale1176]

And a Sleeping Beauty she always was, and will always will be.

[@markhoneysett7317]

Thanks for the Awesome music RIP CHRISSIE ❤

[@bondoqbn7318]

Such a classic it makes me want to cry it's so damn good! RIP Chrissy Rock Godess!

[@xxdannykaliforniaxx]

this was always my favorite song by them. glad i have all there cds. what a voice she had as well as a very sexy stage presence and cool videos.. just wished i could have seen them in live in concert. she will be greatly missed but not forgotten. R.I.P sexy chrissy.

[@shagmesilly78]

Amazing song, by a brilliant and talented band.

[@kirnex]

One of my fave songs from the 80s. Thanks for sharing it!

[@jimzafiriou7808]

The lyrics the way Chrissy sang them... Still waiting, for my ship to come in Still looking, for the right kinda friend There are things inside, things that can't be denied What am I waiting for, oh oh oh A sleeping beauty, so helpless, unlock my fantasy And while I slept, you came in And gave to me your key, oh your key Things that we did, again and again Things that I thought, would never never end There are things inside, things that can't be denied What am I waiting for, oh oh oh A sleeping beauty, I confess, a perfect design And while I slept, you came in And took this heart of mine A sleeping beauty, so helpless, unlock my fantasy And while I slept, you came in And gave to me your key, oh your key When I looked around, I saw your face Then I kissed you, in a very nice place What, I'm waiting for, oh oh oh Still waiting, still waiting, still waiting, ooh waiting, waiting for you (Ooh baby), wait-ting, wait-ting, to why (I'm still rootin' for you honey), wait-ting, wait-ting, to (why)... You showed me, how to give, this selfish heart of mine A sleeping beauty, so helpless, unlock my fantasy And while I slept, you came in And gave to me your key A sleeping beauty, I confess, a perfect design And while I slept, you came in And took this heart of mine, all my heart Still waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting...

[@jimzafiriou7808]

They didn't tour the USA.

[@LilRocker2005]

@@jimzafiriou7808 Clearly! And they got ZERO airplay here besides "I Touch Myself"! I discovered them through different soundtracks like Elm Street 4 with their song "Back To The Wall" and of course this one being featured in The Stepfather

[@claudebuysse7482]

@@jimzafiriou7808 You can find on KZbin Ny concert and an appearance on Arsenio Hall for I touch myself. I not sure they were touring in USA more than that. For me it's a shame that they were not more appreciated in America. But you know who decide in media...And his voice was very unique . Her beauty made her a true goddess in the 80-90. Even Venus was jealous.

Magick song - far deeper than it appears - Chrissy was a artist of calibre.. Yet has tiny profile / footprint... In some ways - Still waiting - to be discovered by the world...

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

My own self would say that other than Debaser, Where Is My Mind, Hey, and Gouge Away by the Pixies, it's competitive with anything from the decade. It's craaazy good.

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

One trouble with Sleeping Beauty I guess is that its verses are so short, some of the shortest I've ever heard. (And I thought 'Gone Away' by The Offspring had short verses.) Oh, and the humor might undermine its beauty slightly... Maybe add in Lorelei by Cocteau Twins as better, too.
