That song raised many eyebrows at the time lol

No doubt but still a classic though. lol Not like that was the only song they ever did though so I don't get why that one solely gets the most attention.

Simply because it was their biggest hit and unless most were really into the group they will naturally think of that one song.

Yeah but it was not their only big hit. They had Pleasure and Pain, Science Fiction, Boys in Town also which were to me just as good as I Touch Myself. All of them are good songs though and it sucks more knowing that voice won't be heard again. She was an inspiring person and singer.

Strange cause I overlooked "I Touched Myself" and just had "Pleasure and Pain" stuck in my head instead! :wa

I am so sad to hear this, Chrissy has been battling for time. I have been following them since the 80's.

Seriously hurt to hear this. We have lost one of the best



Anyone who thinks they didnt have hits or great songs should re look. Most folks in the states dont even know they existed before "I touch Myself".

Sad day
RIP

Real gutsy singer, have seen them live quite a few times. She really delivers a song. I think the band was a lot like AC/DC. She was a bit like a female Bon Scott. RIP Chrissy.
