Lene Lovich - Don Lane Show 1983 - 'Lucky Number' live and interview

[@STSCanada1984]

Lene, Klaus Nomi, Nina Hagen and Kate Bush - the great voices of new wave! We will never again see that many amazing singers exist on the pop scene - and all be at the top of their game - at the same time. Lightning like that can never strike twice.

She’s so beautiful here and intelligent and classy! What a sweet woman!

[@randomthoughts3231]

she said " apparati" instead of "apparatus" so maybe take intelligent out of the description.

[@gregorygourley6426]

She always had darkly strange wonderful videos, with cool weird pop-new wave songs, super catchy stuff, and very inventive. I love her, and Nina Hagen. Lene Lovich ROCKS ! Bob. G

[@pepinillosazucarados6743]

IVE BEEN LISTENING TO MUSIC FOR 35 YEARS AND I JUST DISCOVERED THIS WOMAN 2 HOURS AGO BECAUSE SPOTIFY PUT HER IN MY LIST YAY !!!

[@asmradlib8240]

What a fascinating woman. I was lucky enough to see her live in Edinburgh at the time of her first album. You get the impression here that behind that brief chat is one big intellect.

[@maureenwagg5305]

I love her weirdness. Like her pal Nina Hagen, she is awesome.

[@djxjxixsmjxjskjzxn1853]

Utterly charming. I was about 10 when she hit the UK music scene and she was amazing.

[@vodaredhill1704]

She has a lovely speaking voice.

[@prschuster]

She stole my heart all over again.

[@EtreTocsin]

Dang she looks amazing here…and that set is bad ass…. i thought it was lip sync, but then I realized that it is her singing live…awesome sound

[@bropous4265]

She is NOT a copy of Nina Hagen! Lene is her own person. And I am very glad she came along - her music is unique, I love her voice, and she is a wonderful person - you can tell through her voice and her expression. And she has probably the most beautiful eyes, ever. Lene, if you EVER see this....THANK YOU. My life would never have been the same without your albums. Thank you, wonderful one.

[@cloudbushting3398]

I agree! They both have similarities but they have differences too! By the way by any chance do you like Kate Bush? :D

[@bropous4265]

I LOVE Kate Bush! Always have.

Cool :) I like all her music, but my favourite album has always been The Dreaming. Do you have a fave?

Yes... I love that album! Especially the Ninth wave.

[@Bananadiva1]

She is a great songwriter. She wrote the lyrics to Cerrone's brilliant Supernature as well as her own material

[@TheWorld_2099]

It always hurts to hear such a square person try and connect with visionary people. There is much deeper conversation to access if the interviewer actually had a clue.

[@jhorton4791]

Yeah, he couldn't even get the title of the song right. Where did the Australians come up with this New York bozo? Unfortunately, the "you pronounce your name weird" stuff could have come from any interviewer - it was just par for the course in 1983.

[@richiehoyt8487]

​@@jhorton4791 Couldn't have blamed her if she'd given him the Pistols 'Grundy Show' treatment, even though by '83 people would probably have unfairly taken it as an old~hat publicity stunt. Mind you, when Grace Jones gave presenter, Russel Harty, I think it was, a 'barely - a - thing' slap for some similar nonsense a year or two later, it was the talk of the (British) nation.

[@colinmccrone4990]

Colourful and beautiful. Great song to.👌

[@haintedhouse2990]

i've loved this woman and her music and her videos for decades. a friend once said "if you like Lene Lovich you'll love Nina Hagen - yikes! i thought she had an amazing voice but she looked and sounded like a fool with her vocal acrobatics and facial contortions - i'll take beautiful Lene anyday.

back in late 1978 when this was in the UK charts me and my rather..."imature" schoolmates would dial up the operator from a public phone box on our route home and screeeech the "o - o- O-o" bit down the phone at her.Back then British phone operators seemed to think they were Gods representatives on earth.

[@juliencastle2953]

"Paved the way for cindy lauper and lady gaga" ? Their music are not like Lovich's sound and she wasn't the first eccentric female singer so... No not really.

[@alexandernabokov6882]

What a lovable personality ! that's whereI coming from . my lucky numer 's one . these were new ideas for the early 20th century and even still in the 1980 's for a woman's pop song. But she never scared us . she dressed up all the surronding stuff but if you listen the words are fearless . My lucky number's two - might just be the real world and a nod to the mysteries of connubiality , community . We are never safe . either alone or especially blinded by marriage or love . Family however most seee as worth sacricing for . So maybe mother's love is the one love worth aspiring to . i will aspire to both - marriage and family love . She is an American . " This is my Party Dress ! she is fantastic a real artist . his questions show how far from reality the workaday snout is from what is real . Mother left her father and Lovich is Yugoslavian and was much longer . Lene is German . she seems really healthy and well-balanced in person . It takes a strong person to sustain a career in the music industry ! Hats off to this wonderful woman!

[@johnstjohn6658]

I was (am) a fan of Lena's music and Salvador Dali's art. When I was at school at BYU-HC my art prof asked why I never listened to the lectures and always had on my Sony Walkman headphones. I was listening to Lena while he was discussing Dali and I pointed out an article about Lena visiting Dali in Spain. (Dali was his favorite artist - which I didn't know at the time.) The next thing I know, we got to listen to Lena during our art time.
