Chrissy Steele

Anyone ever heard this lady rocker from the early 90's? She put out one album called "Magnet to Steele". Been jammin' it this morning. It's a good straight-forward hard rock album that leans slightly towards the 80's AOR side of things. She has a great voice that is only slightly raspy. Anyone else familiar with her?

I'm not familiar with her music but I'm familiar with that photo.

Heather and Samantha were well represented on my walls as well.

Never heard of her but she looks very hot in that photo

Wow she is a hottie, her music do not know much about it, she had one single that our local station used to play back when this album was first released.

Interesting information on Ms Steele:


When vocalist Darby Mills walked away from the Headpins to pursue a solo career, the band was forced to look for another singer. The voice they discovered was that of the beautiful Chrissy Steele, a 24-year-old British Columbia native with a voice that was very similar to that of Mills.
A couple of Steele fronted Headpins tours occurred in 1990, but by the time recording for the new album began guitarist Brian MacLeod was the only remaining member from the classic Headpins line-up. However bad news had arrived for MacLeod, who just received news that he had cancer. The recording for the new album was done in a mobile studio off the Pacific coast, with Steele, drummer Pat Stewart and "Too Loud" MacLeod handling all guitars and bass duties. MacLeod had written the majority of the album with Tim Feehan, with guest writing credits going to Mutt Lange, Jeff Paris and members of Loverboy.
With MacLeod's failing health, it was decided to release the album as a Chrissy Steele solo effort. Videos for the singles "Love You 'Til It Hurts" and "Love Don't Last Forever" were released in late 1991 while Steele put together a touring band to promote the new release. Despite being nominated for two Juno's in 1992, the record label dropped Steele from their roster and the band broke up shortly after.
Sadly, on April 25, 1992, Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod succumbed to cancer at the age of 39. Chrissy Steele has lived in relative obscurity ever since, making small appearances on albums by Tim Feehan and Fury. However there is talk of a new Steele release in the near future.

Found this vid on YouTube. Not a bad track. She's got some great, errrr, pipes.

She fills out a Led Zeppelin t-shirt quite nicely too.

That last line about new Steele album, I would dismiss that last line, it looks like it was written years ago

That was a pretty decent tune!

The only song I remember ever hearing was Love You 'Til It Hurts.

Girl can sing! and don't hurt the eyes either.

Badass song...

I love this album. Only have it downloaded, though. I see a promo single in Boston every time I go, but it's just a one-track single.

Never heard of her, but am intrigued to give her music a spin.

Anybody notice how she and Alannah Myles look a little bit alike? Both dark-haired, smoky voiced pop-rock hotties.

...and they're both Canadian, too. Must be something in the maple syrup.

The whole album is pretty good, really. I have the actual album and also a four track promo single for "Love You Till It Hurts".

Hooray for Canada!

I don't have it, but do LOVE IT! Shiney picked this up for cheap on one of our visits to a local used CD shop.

It's not THAT hard to find, really, although it is sometimes jacked up in price. Actually the four-song EP goes for stupid prices on eBay sometimes....
