Song #359: "I Get Weak"--Belinda Carlisle (1987)

Certainly the apex of the solo career of the former lead singer of The Go-Go's came with her release of "Heaven On Earth" in the fall of 1987. Her second single from the album is the second, and final, solo selection from Belinda in our Top 500 countdown, but she'll be back again (and again) with her once and future cohorts. On a side note, finally getting to see The Go-Go's live at Innsbrook ten years ago with Rachel was a blast, even if I couldn't sing or scream or go "whoo-hoo!" due to laryngitis.

Strong vocals and great cadence on a song that always feels it has a faster tempo than it actually does, at least to me. That's not a negative. It doesn't mean it should have been faster, it works perfectly.
