SUSIE HATTON Body And Soul (Deleted 1991 US 10-track CD album produced by Bret Michaels of Poison who also plays acoustic guitar & harmonica plus does the backing vocals, fold-out lyric picture sleeve)

Susie was the chick in Poison's "Fallen Angel" video and she was Bret's girlfriend for a while. Bret also produced this and co-wrote all the songs with Susie and two other guys. She opened for Bret when he did his solo tour in the Fall of 1991. Some of the tunes sound like Poison. Her voice even sounds like a female Bret Michaels. She sings like him and you can occasionally hear Bret signing the backups, such as on "Brown Sugar", which is a cover of the Rolling Stones song. There are also a few ballads. The booklet has 8 panels including all the lyrics. There are also 2 photos of Susie with ripped jeans (yummy).

In an interview Susie mentioned: "Let me tell you the situation as far as my album, and how I got signed. When I first started writing with Bret, he wrote maybe four or five songs and I started working from there, on the melody line. Eventually, over the course of nine, ten months we had thirteen songs. And, at first when we tried to get those songs signed, no one was interested. So, that blows the whole theory about being Bret's girlfriend getting a record deal, and all that stuff. I felt real good about the songs. It was my first time to ever write with someone like Bret. Bret felt good, and Howard (Kaufman) who manages me is real, real supportive, so we decided to go ahead without an official record deal, and do the album. Howard was gonna finance it, and so Bret started a record co. just so I would have a name on the album, in case we'd get signed when we were done. Anyway, we used Poorboy. After the album was done, we shopped it again, and right then Irving Azhoff who owned Giant Records, had opened his label, so we signed with them. So, that's why it has four different names under it. It's like Poorboy/Giant/ Reprise. Since Reprise is part of Warner Bros, that's why Warners is distributing".

This is a good album...Bret Michaels of Poison has written most of the tracks...

---------------------------------------------------------

actually , she is a very talented lady . FANS are aware of her workings. therefore , this album is KOOL as hell. and , yes, bret co-wrote and ,soley, produced the CD; this CD STILL KICKS ASS !!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------

This cd is one of my favorites!! Great songs!! Listen "Believe in Me" and "Blue Monday"

---------------------------------------------------------

The cover she did of "Brown Sugar" ruless. The photo's of her on the back and inside of this CD are pretty good.

---------------------------------------------------------

I really like this cd, does anybody know where she is today, and what she is doing? I know her and Bret broke up.

---------------------------------------------------------

This is a really good CD, the girl is delicious and so is this cd..

---------------------------------------------------------

I think that it was a great album! I still count it as one of my fave albums as to date.

---------------------------------------------------------

Susie Hatton's album "Body and Soul" is very good. Wonderful Aor. But the power ballads "Runaway" and the good rocking song "believe in me" is worth the whole CD. If you like AOR, then buy this baby

---------------------------------------------------------

Nice cd a la Robin Beck but poppier.

---------------------------------------------------------

great album! must have for any glam/aor fan! The CD's hard rock/pop-metal and arena rock is very Poison-minded; many of the up-tempo tunes sound like a cross between Poison and Vixen. However, Hatton is closer to Belinda Carlisle's post-Go-Go's solo output on pop/rock ballads like "Runaway" and "Wait Until the Night." And that is an interesting range of influences to have -- not many people who were heavily influenced by the glossy '80s pop-metal of Vixen and Poison could also claim Carlisle as an influence on some of their slower songs. There are still obsessive rock collectors and die-hard Poison fans who want to hear this.

Another album that i want to be more specific about...ala Robin Beck but poppier could be easily the description of this Susie Hatton release...apart of being produced by the nowadays reality show "actor" Bret Michaels (Poison).. anyway "Blue Monday" is a nice AOR starter,"Body & Soul" a good one,"The Hotter It Gets" has a rhythm,"Believe In Me" a pop song with AOR feel & "You Still Got Me" nice track...up 2 u guys!!!...85/100
