Missing Persons quickly gained popularity - thanks to their music, as well as to Dale’s quirky voice, unusual, futuristic fashion sense and wild makeup and hair colors. Her now ex-husband Terry once described Dale as looking “like a Popsicle” when shooting the music video for the Missing Persons song Words, because of the vibrant colors and clothing she was wearing. Missing Persons had several hits during the first half of the 1980s but broke up in 1986, shortly after the release of their third full-length album Color In Your Life. Dale also divorced Terry Bozzio at that time, but retained the name.
Dale Bozzio has continued to record and perform since the breakup of Missing Persons. She often tours under the band’s name although the backing musicians are different from the original band (Some of these musicians have been Mike Mangini, Van Spragins, Anthony Resta, Tony Savarino, Eric Welsh, Ben Sesar and Jeff Calder). Her 1988 solo album, Riot In English, recorded for Prince’s Paisley Park Records, featured the Top 40 dance hit “Simon Simon.”

Dale Bozzio Of Missing Persons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you ever come again?
Smooth skin, soft and white,
We lose ourselves within the night
Dance inside the dreamer's circle,
I'm waiting for you,
Escape the life of black and white,
I wanna be the color that's in your life,
And you make love electrical,
Welcome to the festival (repeat)
Facing towards still rose dawn,
Intuition leads you on
You're all dressed up in dreams,
In a liquid limousine
Dance inside the dreamer's circle,
I'm waiting for you,
Escape your life of black and white,
I'm waiting for you
I wanna be the color that's in your life,
And you make love electrical,
Welcome to the festival (repeat)
Dance inside the dreamer's circle,
I'm waiting for you,
Escape your life of black and white,
I'm waiting for you
I wanna be the color that's in your life,
And you make love electrical,
Welcome to the festival (repeat)
Wanna be, the color, in your life,
'cause you make love electrical,
Welcome to, welcome to, welcome to the festival
I wanna be the color that's in your life,
And you make love electrical,
Welcome to the festival (repeat fade)

Back then, many people thought that Dale Bozzio was "weird" and "out there". Several decades later, Lady GaGa comes along, and people claim that SHE'S innovative. Well, here's the real innovator.
@tudormiller8898
As soon as I saw her, I immediately thought of Lady Gaga. Lol
@steveaustin7306
Look up Betty Davis sometime. Wilder than any woman on stage since
@ariesleorising9421
Preach!! And she was so lovely!
@btinsley1
@steve austin ...good reply. The world wasn't ready for Betty D. She even preceded Grace Jones.
@tomatostakefabrik9429
Gaga is the Wish version!

I am a complete metalhead, but I love Missing Persons. Terry is an absolutely amazing drummer.
@themainmanify
i agree
@thetoxicnarcissist2466
Same here. I had the "Spring Session M" cassette, and my other metalhead buddies gave me all sorts of shit about it.
