Joy and Pain--Maze or Donna Allen? funny that her version actually charted on billboard, and the classic Maze version didn't...
Donna Allen launched her vocal career in the early '80s. The Floridian joined the band Hi-Octane and toured with them a year before leaving for the group Trama. She then formed Donna Allen & company and performed in the Tampa area. Lou Pace produced her 1986 debut LP Perfect Timing, which included the single "Serious" that earned Allen a number five R&B hit, plus the followup "Satisfied," which reached number 14, and a duet with Howard Hewitt on "Perfect Timing." Her 1987 LP Heaven on Earth had a remake of Maze's "Joy and Pain" that did well on the international circuit. Allen was also a cheerleader for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers at one time. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide you look better on your facebook page than you do in person  | |

Donna Allen made me like the song (Does Rob Base even count? I liked his too). I hate when promising singers disappear. What happened to Donna? | |

I don't think Maze's version of Joy and Pain was released as a single, so naturally it didn't chart. | |

Yeah, where she at? Her version was nice, breezy. But, I can't help think of Rob Base's version, too. | |
