You Know The Voice: E. G. Daily (1984-6)

In 2012, Elizabeth "E. G." Daily sought to resurrect her music career by competing on The Voice at age 51, after more than 20 years of voice acting (i.e. Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls). 

You see, in the mid-80's, Daily's focus was on acting and singing. Most folks will recall she played Pee-Wee Herman's girlfriend in "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" (we have a clip of that here in the Archives), in 1985. A year earlier, she recorded "Love in The Shadows" for the movie, "Thief of Hearts". The song was later reissued by her label, A & M, for her debut album, "Wild Child", around the time of "Big Adventure". A remix was released in 1986, which is where we get this video.


I remember reading how fans were upset over the recasting of Powerpuff Girls a few years ago, but think about this. E. G. was in her 50's when she was on The Voice. Chumptoon Network suits may have seen that as an excuse to "go younger", but we don't know that for sure.

It's hard to believe that E.G. Daily is older than me (by 5 years). She looks good for her age.

She's got me by a couple of years as well.
