When people say Lovine 'ruined the band' - would she have made it big time without them (Or would she have made it more 'in her own way'?) It seems an amazingly big leap from this beautiful and natural 'country' number to 'Show me Heaven'. On the other hand I love that song - and if Maria hadn't sung it it would never have sounded the same ..... (and we might never have heard of her).
I swear, I'm in love with this lady and have been since 1985!
Her voice at the start still gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing after all these years!
Thank you, Thank you, thank you for loading this up. One of my favorite bands of all time. She is the sweetest woman I have ever met.
Lucky you! She and I have messaged some on Instagram. She has made some big changes in her life the last few years. Quite the revolutionary.
She never gets old
I was there...it was more like 22 years ago.
Lovely historic video of Marie showing her startling talent from early on. Cheeeeers!
Maria McKee remains matchless in voice songwriting & presence. Epic.

Electric. Since 1985, deeply devoted.
I remember this show. The noise is not from bad recording. Mr. Hedgecock's Tele was buzzing like crazy.
She stands "out in front" of the band in this one! Just absolutely STANDS OUT! Sounds world worn, ages older than she was, and FANTASTIC!!!!!!
+Musicrelic agree completely & MORE
brilliant. thank you, catwoman.
You're very welcome.
Um, I'M not Catwoman, I'm Selina Kyle. NO ONE knows the true identity of Catwoman...it's a mystery :)
@jezkn I believe her name is Maria.
@jezkn thank you for your nice reply...you could have been snarky! The music is what matters, really. :) I wonder what she's up to these days?
She makes me happy to be a heterosexual man... every hair on my body stands up when she sings... She's a REAL woman, goddamn...
@squaltermann Quite right - I blame the keyboard (a is close to the e) but then a bad workman always blames his tools!
Even sounds a bit like Cyndi - when she's talking (on helium!!)
