Terri Nunn, the lead singer of the 80s band Berlin, has been making waves since the release of their hit single. Despite being 62 years old, she looks remarkably youthful and hasn't seemed to age a day since their rise to fame. As the frontwoman of the synth pop-rock group, Terri has become a household name with their iconic track "Take My Breath Away," which shot to the top of the charts in 1986 after being featured in the Tom Cruise blockbuster, Top Gun.
It was a busy year for Berlin as they went on to win both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. The band, formed in 1978, initially consisted of Terri on vocals, John Crawford on bass and vocals, David Diamond and Matt Reid on keyboards, Ric Olsen on guitar, and Rob Brill on drums. In a recent television appearance, Terri still rocks her signature blonde and black highlights, paired with a punky red cutout jumper over a black vest.
During a recent interview on Fox, Terri opened up about their hit single, saying, "That song really opened up the whole world for us. Prior to that, we were well known in America, Japan, and Australia. But 'Take My Breath Away' allowed us to play everywhere." However, just a year after their success, the band split up due to personal disagreements over the song. While Terri enjoyed the newfound fame, the other members were not pleased that the song was not written or composed by any of them.
After some legal disputes, Terri acquired the rights to the band's name and reformed Berlin with a new lineup in 1997. The current bandmates include Dave Schulz, Carlton Bost, and Ric "Rocc" Roccapriore. In 2019, original co-founders Crawford and Dunn reunited with Berlin for the album Transcendence. The band continues to perform with recent hits like "Lightning Mcqueen," "Nantucket," and "New England."
Despite their success, Berlin has also faced some controversy in recent years. They made headlines for performing at a New Year's Eve party during lockdown, hosted by former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort. After receiving backlash, Terri issued an apology, stating, "I am truly sorry I performed at Mar-a-Lago, and I would not have done so if I had known what I learned while I was there. My goal in performing was not to support a political party, and I see now that's not how it appeared. I am apologetic for that as well."
