The original "Pleasure Victim", Terri Nunn is lovely, talented, and a TOTAL DIVA. Best known for her work with the synth-pop band Berlin, her voice added emotion to the decadance of such songs as "The Metro" and "Masquerade". Her singing on the groundbreaking "Sex (I'm a...)" alone is enough to make her a Diva for the Ages, being both steamy and campy at once. Further proof of her divatude is the hit "Take My Breath Away", produced by the great Giorgio Moroder (a true diva-magnet, he has worked wonders for Donna Summer, Blondie, and Irene Cara). Not content to be but a simple pop star, Terri also honed her acting chops in the classic film "Thank God It's Friday" (along with the afore-mentioned Ms. Summer), and appeared in such TV fare as "Barnaby Jones", "T.J. Hooker", and "Katie: Portrait of a Centerfold". Oddly enough, after the demise of Berlin, she sang back-up for the Sisters of Mercy (!), but she has recently returned to what she does best, with a new version of Berlin and a new CD called "Fall Into Heaven". Perhaps, to paraphrase one of her greatest songs, now it's HER turn!
TERRI NUNN IS A DIVA NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN!!!
