The world wasn't to know, but that petite backing singer with the big voice on INXS's '85 world tour was about to give the big boys a run for their money. Jenny Morris already had some hits on the board back home in New Zealand with the Crocodiles and QED. INXS's Andrew Farriss wrote “You're Gonna Get Hurt” for her in '87, launching a trilogy of platinum albums—Body & Soul, Shiver and Honeychild—that made her Australia's de facto queen of pop as the '80s rolled into the '90s. A decade on, the indie likes of Hit & Myth and Clear Blue in Stormy Skies confirmed a voice, songwriting craft and creative energy undimmed by the passing spotlight.
