 She had semi-retired from public life in the early 1970s when she became tired of the music industry and its refusal to let her run her career the way she wanted.Although she had released a handful of non-commercial records since, she made a proper comeback in 1984 when Morrissey and Johnny Marr of The Smiths persuaded her to cover their song "Hand in Glove".More singles followed and in 1988 she released the "Hello Angel" album.
