More Than Musiq has not done a birthday shout out in quite some time, but today's birthday girl has a special place in my heart.
It's Belinda Carlisle's birthday! The former lead singer of the Go-Go's who then embarked on a super successful solo career turns 52 today!
As the lead singer of the Go-Go's Carlisle became one of the most popular leading ladies in music in the 80's. Once the band broke up due to internal conflicts, drug addiction, and excessive partying, she became an ever bigger star as a solo artist.
Her first single "Mad About You" hit #3 on the charts, but her biggest single was yet to come. "Heaven is a place on Earth" became a massive #1 hit, earned Carlisle a Grammy nomination, and cemented her status as a leading pop hit-maker.
She collected 6 top 40 hits as a solo artist, and in the 90's and 2000's the Go-Go's reunited and have toured the world.
So Happy Birthday!!!

Oh man, Heaven IS a place on earth. What a classic. That's my 'you've made it!' song, if you know what I mean. To be played after victories, or to inspire victories haha.
