Who's your "The Older Woman Who I Absolutely Would..."

Back when I used to work in huge, steel-plated, 1 foot thick radio-insulation cages (well, they were called cages, but the walls/floor/ceiling were solid - it was like being in a bloody cold-war nuclear bunker), I used to put the beat-box on (well, this was the late 80s, so I'm allowed to say beat-box and not laugh whilst I'm doing so).

One singer was frequently on. Bonnie Tyler. I loved that gravelly, too-many-whiskies-and-too-many-smoky-gin-joints voice of hers. And yes, if she'd offered, I definitely would have.

And judging by the sound of her voice, at it's most gravelly, in this 2007 live recording, I still would. OK, the interpretation is not so great, the casio keyboard music sucks, and her voice is a bit warbly, but when she growls....

... Oh boy.

Bonnie Tyler is still kicking it!
