Don't Know What You Got (Until It's Gone)

Cinderella

Cinderella

Cinderella were great at the time, they had some cool stuff but they didn’t really have the charisma of some of the other bands.  The one thing Cinderella did have was the voice of Tom Keifer.  He just has a certain tone when he starts to belt it out that gives me goose bumps.  He put out a great solo album The way Life Goes in 2013, check it out it is pretty good.

This is a typical power ballad that all these bands around at the time were so good at. It is a big part of why the chicks went crazy. Long Cold Winter was a very good album and got a lot of air time at my place. This video is a bit drippy and it’s the kind of MTV fodder that made Aerosmith huge again. If it wasn’t for this kind of stuff we would not have had Metallica smashing down the door to go in the opposite direction so let us be grateful.
