  • Ellen Foley (June 5, 1951 - St. Louis) is an American singer and actress. As a singer she has made four solo albums, but is best known for her collaboration with other artists, of whom Meat Loaf is probably the best known.
    Her breakthrough came in late 1977 with the duet 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' with Meat Loaf on his album 'Bat Out of Hell'.
    Her debut album 'Night Out' was released in 1979, and is also her best known album. It includes the hit singles 'We Belong to the Night' and 'What's a Matter Baby'. The album was produced by Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson who also played on it. Her other two solo albums were entitled 'Spirit of St. Louis' from 1981 and 'Another Breath' from 1983.
    'We Belong To The Night' reached no. 1 in the Dutch Top 40 in November 1979.

      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.

    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!

      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.

    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

    Amazing singer... and I LOVED her on _Night_ _Court._ I'm puzzled why this wasn't a big hit. It was better than Pat Benastar's stuff. It was a hit single in Australia and South Africa.
