A NEW WAVE OF DIVAS!

The late 70s and early 80s created an entirely new breed of Diva. These fabulous creatures not only looked divine, but had unique voices and a healthy dose of post-punk irony. The Most Holy Icon of this category is Debbie Harry, but, were it not for fate, any one of these songbirds could have taken her place...
