She's explored different genres in more recent years, including an acoustic compilation reworking all her greatest hits, and Memphis Blues which was nominated for the Best Traditional Blues Album at the Grammys in 2011. She found particular fame in Japan, most noticeably with albums Sisters of Avalon and Shine in 2001.

The success kept rolling in during the years that followed after releasing two more hit albums, True Colors and A Night to Remember, with the former's title track finding incredible popularity and being used in multiple films and television advertisements. In only a few years she had helped popularize punk and given it a place in the mainstream pop charts in both the UK and US. It also spawned legendary singles like 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' and 'Time After Time' - which to date has been covered more than 100 times - along with a win for best new artist at the 1985 Grammy Awards. By 1981 though, she was signed as a solo artist and released debut She's So Unusual, which went on to be a worldwide hit, catapulting its singer into the spotlight.

Despite positive reviews for their only album, the group disbanded the next year and its singer went back to performing in local clubs. It wouldn't be until 1978 that she met saxophonist John Turi, and the pair formed the band Blue Angel with Arthur Neilson, Lee Brovitz and Johnny Morelli.
