Welcome to the music business. People are paid for the talents on a scale basis. If the song they performed on goes on to be something great then perhaps the AFM union should have a rider in all contracts.
She followed Jim Steinman's advice as he was trying to create an image for her. Meat advised against this and the rest is history.
She has made a living in a very tough business and that is a tribute to her.
