A pop icon of the eighties, now aged 62, astonished fans with her age-defying appearance, nearly four decades following the release of her Top Gun anthem amidst criticism for a recent performance.
The lead vocalist of the seminal 80s band Berlin, Terrier Nunn, wowed audiences with her latest television appearance.
The illustrious singer spoke recently about her band’s live Christmas performance and shared insights about Berlin’s journey to fame.
Nunn, seemingly frozen in time, appeared as youthful as ever since her celebrated Top Gun song reverberated worldwide.
She was radiant in her iconic coiffure of blonde and black highlights, complemented by a striking red cutout jumper draped over a black vest.
Berlin is best remembered for their 1986 chart-topping sensation “Take My Breath Away.”
In discussion with Fox, Terri remarked: “That song really opened up the whole world for us because prior to that, we were well known in America, and some of Japan and Australia, but it was really ‘Take My Breath Away’ that opened up the rest of the world to us and allowed us to play everywhere.
“Take My Breath Away” climbed to the top of charts and won acclaim in the iconic film Top Gun released the same year.
This anthem clinched both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1986.
The band’s most iconic lineup included Terri as the frontwoman, John Crawford on bass and vocals, David Diamond on the keys, Ric Olsen on guitar, Matt Reid on keyboards, and Rob Brill behind the drums.
Berlin debuted in 1978 and went on to disband in 1987, following a phenomena-achieving year. They eventually reunited in 1997 with Terri leading a fresh constellation of talent.
Joining Terri in the current lineup are John Crawford, David, Dave Schulz, Carlton Bost, and Ric “Rocc” Roccapriore.
Berlin remains active today, with their more recent hit being “Strings Attached.”
The band faced a torrent of disapproval for performing at a New Year’s Eve gathering at Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in the midst of a pandemic lockdown.
After enduring scrutiny, Terri publicly apologized for the contentious appearance on social media. She penned, “I am truly sorry I performed at Mar-a-Lago and would not have done so if I’d known what I learned while I was there.”
She added, “My goal in performing was not to support a political party. I see now that that’s not the way it appeared and I am apologetic for that as well.”
