Career
Foley gained a following after performing a duet with Meat Loaf on the 1977 hit single "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," from the 1977 album Bat Out of Hell. Foley's part was recorded individually and in a one-take with Meat Loaf in the room so she could perform in character. Although Karla DeVito (who performed with Meat Loaf in support of the album) appears in the music video, DeVito is lip synching to Foley's vocals.
Night Out, her debut album, was released in 1979; the album's single "What's a Matter Baby" debuted at No. 2. In the Dutch charts, 7 is the most popular and No. 1 is No. 1 and No. 1 is the highest. On the US charts, it ranks at 92nd. In the Netherlands, the single "We Belong To The Night" debuted at No. 1. The album itself, which reached No. 1, is the best-selling album on record. Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson produced 152 copies. "We Gotta Get Outta Here," Foley sang of Ian Hunter in 1980, "We Gotta Get Outta Here." She developed her creative relationship with Hunter, which culminated in her appearances on the Iron City Houserockers' 1980 album Have a Good Time but Get Out Alive! Designed by Hunter, Ronson and Steven Van Zandt of The E Street Band, Steven Van Zandt.
She appears on the title cut of the 1979 Blue Yster Cult album Mirrors and on The Clash album Sandinista. (Hitsville, United Kingdom) and "Corner Soul" (released in 1980) as well as the unreleased track "Blonde Rock 'n' Roll." All four members of The Clash appeared on her second album, The Spirit of St. Louis, in 1981, and Mick Jones and Joe Strummer co-wrote a number of songs for the collection. Jones produced the album, which also featured members of The Blockheads and debuted at No. 1. On the US charts, the number 137 stands out. She appeared on The Clash's song "Car Jamming" from 1982, giving her backing vocals. Jones' hit song, "Should I Stay or Should I Go," was about Jones' turbulent friendship with Foley at the time.
In 1983, she released her third solo album Another Breath, which fell short of the charts. She performed backing vocals on Joe Jackson's album Body & Soul in 1984 and played a key role in Utopia's "Crybaby"'s music video.
Foley was one of four female vocalists to front the group Pandora's Box, which was founded by Jim Steinman in the late 1980s. Their album Original Sin, released in 1989, was the first to feature the song "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (vocals by Elaine Caswell); both Celine Dion and a duet between Meat Loaf and Marion Raven have had separate chart successes with the song in certain countries years later.
Foley studied at HB Studios in New York City. She has appeared on Broadway in shows such as Me and My Girl and the Resurrection of Hair, as well as off-Broadway in Beehive. Foley appeared in Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, but Bernadette Peters replaced him before the show opened on Broadway. Foley appeared on Broadway from August 1, 1989 to the show's closing on September 3, 1989.
Billie Young on Night Court (1984–85), her first television appearance since being replaced by Markie Post as Christine Sullivan, Reinhold Weege's first choice for the public defender role, but the actress appeared on ABC's Fall Guy. Foley was apparently dropped from the series because producers felt her relationship with actor Harry Anderson was more like that of a brother and sister than as potential paramours. She appeared in Milo Forman's film adaptation of Hair (1979), as well as the films Fatal Attraction (1988) and Cocktail (1988). Foley appeared in the short-lived 1977 film 3 Girls 3, co-starring Debbie Allen and Mimi Kennedy.
