Affectionately referred to as the "godmother of punk rock" Smith's
iconic career spans thirty years and nine releases. Merging "the
spoken power of the word" with the sensual rhythms of rock-n-roll she
burst on to the music scene in the mid 1970's. Smith scored a Top Ten
hit in 1978, "Because the Night", co-written with Bruce Springsteen.
After a hiatus in the 80's to raise a family she returned to music
full force by 1994. Her latest effort, "Trampin" was released to
critical acclaim in March 2004.
