The Best of Susanna Hoffs
___________
I am a big fan of Susanna Hoffs…
IN THIS PHOTO: Susanna Hoffs with The Bangles
so, as her birthday is on Sunday (17th January), I wanted to put together an assortment of her songs – either where she is taking a lead/backing vocal or is credited as a songwriter. Susanna Hoffs is best known as a co-founder of The Bangles. She founded The Bangles (originally called The Bangs) in 1981 with Debbi and Vicki Peterson. They released their first full length album, All Over the Place, in 1984. Hoffs started a solo career after The Bangles split in 1989. Her first solo album, When You're a Boy, arrived in 1991. She later formed the faux-British 1960s band, Ming Tea, alongside Mike Myers and Matthew Sweet (who she recorded several covers albums with). To honour an incredible musician and songwriter, this Lockdown Playlist is dedicated to the amazing Susanna Hoffs. There are quite a few songs in the playlist that you will recognise, but I hope that everyone discovers…
SOME new gems.
