She was very probably my favourite singer, ever. I was really shaken when I read the news.

I was living in Australia in the early 80's, they were really big there then.
My fave of theirs is "Science Fiction"

Re: RIP Chrissy Amphlett of the Divinyls
I really liked "Victoria" from that time. But my favourite all time ever thing she did was this "URRRRGGGGGGHHHH!" sound on Elsie. The first time I heard it on the headphones it pretty much scared the shit out of me (and I'm not exaggerating for effect) coming on suddenly like that, but it was so wonderful.Edward wrote:I was living in Australia in the early 80's, they were really big there then.

I Touch Myself was a real firestarter amongst my friends back in the day. RIP Chrissy.
