Ellen Foley - We Belong To The Night (1979) • TopPop

[@MuckJagger]

I could live to be 1,000 and I still wouldn't ever understand how Ellen didn't become a *huge* star with that voice.

[@ciarraibuzz]

Helluva voice. Powerful, very pleasant. Go figure why no more in stardom. I bet she could explain why!

[@reddragonready]

There are loads of great singers who don't become big stars..it takes finding a great song/songwriter to become really big

[@John-gv2ug]

Ellen is too often underrated. Her voice deserved more great songs.

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

You need to give examples of this rating nonsense. The lady had fans all over, critical acclaim and the hottest songwriters handed her their work. You need to get away from following the pack, writing KZbin cliches like "under-rated".

[@Gramsgirl-ie8fb]

@@BlueBeeMCMLXIWell, I am in Australia. Knew she did work with Meatloaf and I bought the Night out album when it came out. Then, nothing. So yeah very much underrated

[@jonsmith7667]

@@BlueBeeMCMLXI this is my youtube drinking game, I listen to old favorites and when someone is "so underrated" in the comments...DRINK :)

[@lorellemcgee2813]

The greatest female voice I have ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

[@tjcint]

LorelIe, the same for me. I have never heard a better female vocalist, ever. She is, as you have said, absolutely incredible.

[@christinethirion3246]

Je pense tout à fait comme vous. Une voix vraiment exceptionnelle.

[@PrinceKima_12]

Why weren't songwriters lining up? For decades? Don't understand it. She's a dream singer.

[@carolbilney6718]

Yeah I knew it was her with Meatloaf. I am 63 and I can proudly say I actually purchased her very first cassette tape 40 something years ago and still marvel at her voice to this day.

[@rudolftrost3534]

As did I! Still among my favourite music.

[@richardgrootjen3057]

I'm 54 but at least we have a clear clip now. Greetz from Holland!!

[@viewer3147]

What's the matter baby?

[@jasontaverner391]

I bought this album and her second album. A powerful voice with no peers. She should have been huge. She had Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson on her first album, and The Clash on her second and it still wasn't enough. Bad marketing, and some self-inflicted wounds.

[@carolbilney6718]

Also how many of you knew she was also a member of the girl group Pussycat?

[@Boyonabicycle]

A powerful singer who exudes strength and courage.

[@Bayan1905]

One of the best singers and drop dead gorgeous to boot.

[@michaelt.wardlespider2496]

Fell in love with her on Night Court. Had no idea she was a singer, or that she was the female vocalist on Paradise for ages.

[@walterjamessimpson5829]

What a voice. I first took notice of Ellen Foley in 1980 .with that vocal range she should be a bigger star.very underated .

[@tjcint]

Without doubt one of the most gifted singers/artists of the last 100 years.

[@pierre4252]

Amazing Voice... Remember the rock song Paradise to the dashboard light of meat loaf👍👍👍

[@bobbamford5207]

She sang her Heart out on Dashboard light.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light

[@mebpratt859]

When she played Billie on the original Night Court you would have never guessed she had such a great singing voice.

[@Steini58]

One of the best voices i've heard in my life.

[@glensmith7268]

Have loved this song forever....what a voice

[@jburma]

"I just can't wait...for the night to come." The way she performs the build up, and delivers that line, while throwing off her coat in the middle, is pretty awesome-- gives me major chills every time. Brilliant performance!

[@miekekooima]

Schitterend nummer, kippenvel.🤩🤩

[@samwalker7821]

[@paultreadaway102]

She's a stunner what a voice on her own delivering this Epic Song got this on my Classic Rare Hits Of The 70s

[@johanjansszen1882]

Ellen Foley was the best female singer from the western zone in her time fantastico belissimo!

[@andreheemskerk1]

Ellen is so good, her voice is so beautiful

[@strictlynorton]

Hunter and Ronson really utilised Ellen on this album, giving her an almost Wall of Sound backdrop for a voice which is elite tier. The covers were brilliant, Timi Yuro and Jagger/Richards show how grounded in R&R and R&B both are. If they'd produced her 2nd album imho she would've become a global megastar. A sensational debut!

[@gustaaf1892]

I loved Night Out and bought the follow up album on the strength of that. It was terrible and a waste of my limited money back in those times. I thought you couldn't go wrong with that voice, but you can with the wrong song choices and lesser producers.

[@rodneyross4450]

Ian Hunter...?

[@nickrussell5133]

I was a monster fan of Ellen and loved her Night Out album..."Don't let go" is one of my favourite tracks of all time...

Absolute Perfection! The good people of Holland got it right when this song went to #1 there...it also did well in Australia, reaching #15...but why didn't the rest of the world jump on the bandwagon?..This is a definite pop/rock anthem just waiting to be heard by the rest of the world...all I can say is...thank you Ellen for 5 minutes of pure bliss!🎵🎵🎵

The lyrics ... The burning sun hangs over the city You and me baby, we don't feel nothing at all From nine to five we're lost This life ain't so pretty But when the sun goes down We know that we can stay and talk I just can't wait For the night to come Cause when the shadows covers the light We're the only ones Cause baby, we We belong to the night Yes, baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night Dancin' on the street In the heat of the neon The quiet in the cool night air Makes it easy to breathe The music that we hear in our hearts Gives us something to dream of Cause when that lonely soul that calls It's those dreams that we'll need To keep us strong To take us far Far away from the pain of the days Cause that's a cruel mental start Cause baby, we We belong to the night Yes, baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night We belong to the night Yes, yes baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night We belong to the night We belong to the night Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
