MEAT LOAF IS FOR 15-YEAR-OLD BOYS

Ellen Foley is 12 years old (this is what she told me—why anyone has to lie about their age for no good reason is beyond my comprehension. In a nutshell, who gives a shit?) and was bom in St. Louis. She lives in New York. Ellen sang the femme parts on Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell album and appeared in the quickly-forgotten television program about three women in the music biz, 3 Girls 3.

Her album, Nightout, was produced by Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson, who also arranged and played guitar. Songs on the record include Graham Parker’s “Thunder And Rain,” and a version of “Stupid Girl” by Jagger/Richards.

We spoke to her after her successful European tour—Ellen and her group will be touring Australia and Japan by the time you read this.
