Taylor Dayne

Taylor Dayne is one of those late-80s voices I can pick out instantly. "Tell It to My Heart" had that big, brassy belt that defined the era, and the fact that both her first two albums went double platinum tells you it wasn't a fluke. What strikes me is the gap between her enormous vocal power and how little personal detail she keeps public; she lets the records do the talking. Born Leslie Wunderman in Manhattan, she also drifted into acting over the years. For me she sits in that camp of singers whose hits outshine their name recognition today, which feels a little unfair.
