“You Should Hear How She Talks About You” 

Melissa Manchester

The faboo Melissa had the biggest hit of her career, which began a slow ascent up the chart, finally peaking at #5 in September 1982 in its 20th week. It won her the Grammy for Female Pop Vocal.

And that Grammy win has irked me for decades, even though I’ve finally made my peace with it. Here’s her winning moment, as she goes up against Linda Ronstadt for “Get Closer,” Olivia for “Heart Attack,” Juice Newton for “Love’s Been A Little Bit Hard On Me,” and who should have won that night … Laura Branigan for “Gloria.” (and watch for Chaka‘s unmistakable cameo)
