LEE AARON - "SWEET TALK"
Topic: New Tab Postings

Lee Aaron wasn't always Lee Aaron; she was born Karen Lynn Greening. Early in her career she was in a band called Lee Aaron, and she ultimately adopted the moniker as her own. But by whatever name, for years she carried the label of "Metal Queen", due to both her musical style and her song of the same name. While this gave her a distinctive and memorable image throughout the early to mid-80's, it didn't necessarily translate into chart success.

In 1987, Aaron released a self-titled album, aiming for a more commercial sound. The plan worked, as she had a successful single with the ballad "Only Human". Her 1989 album Bodyrock (pictured) continued in the same vein -- amping up the commercial aspect even more -- and produced hits that year in "Hands On" and "Whatcha Do To My Body". In 1990, a third single was released from the album, the heavy metal power ballad "Sweet Talk". The song was edited/shortened for release as a single, but I've tabbed the full album version. I couldn't find the full version online anywhere, so I've linked to the video of it at YouTube. This is the edited version, about two minutes shorter than the album version. 

Bodyrock became Lee Aaron's most succesful album, selling 200,000+ copies. Since then, she's gone on to reinvent herself once more, this time as a jazz stylist, but she continues to perform songs from her full catalogue. Which is probably a wise decision, because for many people, she'll always be the Metal Queen.
