Ellen Foley is an actress and singer who first gained recognition singing opposite Meat Loaf on his epic song, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." This led her to a record contract with Epic Records and the release of three albums which were influenced by Foley's boyfriend of the time, Mick Jones of the Clash, who produced and wrote much of the second, Spirit of St. Louis. Foley has also appeared in films and on TV. ~ William Ruhlmann
