Post Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter came back with a bang with this brilliant single, Once Bitten Twice Shy, one of my favourite singles of the seventies. I didn't know you had a rock and roll record until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket. Featuring Bowie's former guitarist Mick Ronson doing his guitar hero thing. Circa 1975.
In the late 70s, my boyfriend at the time was into Ian Hunter. The song I remember best is, "Wild East". Just looking at Wikipedia, I see that Ellen Foley sang on the album, "You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic" (great title!). I had to look her up because her name rang a bell. Turns out she was on a few American sitcoms and in a few big movies - notably, "Tootsie", "The King of Comedy" and "Fatal Attraction".
