With her model-esque looks, multi-colored hair, and her interesting fashion sense (or lack thereof), Bozzio was a major factor in the Missing Persons' early '80s success. Born on March 2, 1955 (location unknown), Dale began modeling during the '70s, including a revealing photo layout in Hustler Magazine, before she was introduced to Frank Zappa. It wasn't long before Zappa invited Dale to sing on his epic concept album, Joe's Garage: Acts 1-3, during which time Dale and a few members of Zappa's band (guitarist Warren Cuccurullo and drummer Terry Bozzio, the latter of whom Dale would soon marry) decided to unite together to form a new wave act. Missing Persons was formed shortly after the dawn of the '80s, with their look and sound reflecting the en vogue space age new wave of the time (Devo, Gary Numan, etc.). The band seemed tailor made for MTV with their heavy emphasis on their image, as the group enjoyed a sizeable hit right off the bat, with their gold-certified debut album, Spring Session M, and its hit videos/singles, "Words" and "Destination Unknown." Despite their initial hits, Missing Persons was unable to replicate their commercial success on such subsequent releases as 1984's Rhyme & Reason and 1986's Color in Your Life - which led to the group's split (plus Dale and Terry's divorce). It was also during this time that Dale supplied vocals to another Zappa concept album, Thing Fish. Shortly after the Missing Persons' split, Dale was signed by Prince to his Paisley Park label as a solo artist, resulting in the release of Riot in English in 1988. But like her previous band's last few albums, Bozzio's solo debut didn't fare well commercially, as she abandoned her solo career......great for collectors...still gets airplay on flashback radio stations like KROQ & STAR...fans of new wave, alternative, retro 80s, will like this...winner pays shipping...will ship international.(which is more)..paypal accepted, as well as credit cards, Powered by eCRATER .
