i'd put SW as a better single than Pieces of ice or Sleepin. Pieces and Sleepin are fine for album tracks but not singles. and Eaten Alive was a nightmare too

I think there were just too many "throwback" songs and remakes in the 80s and 90s from her.

pretty much every album. that's a LOT
Add “Tell Mama” to the list.
I consider both “Pieces Of Ice” And “Sleepin” better quality songs, but not hit singles.
I agree in that there were just to many retreads. She really should have recorded a whole album of 50’s songs and got it out of her system.
”Shockwaves” had as much chance of becoming a hit single in 1987/88 as “Sleepin” did in 74. Personally I find it lightweight, banal and instantly forgettable. She was so much better then this.
