I never went up to her because it wasn't appropriate – I was married at the time. But she had long brown hair, and it was like I'd known her in a different lifetime or something. It was just this thing that hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't stop thinking about her.\"\n--\nLove And Rockets didn't typically use backup singers, but they wanted a \"Walk On The Wild Side\" vibe for \"So Alive,\" so they brought in the trio of Lorna Wright, Sylvia Mason-James, Ruby James to \"do do\" the backing vocals.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
