Personal Details
Other Works:
Sang on the recording of the song "Billion Dollar Babies" on Alice Cooper's album of the same name. Cooper stated that the band wanted a contrast between dark and light in the song, and Donovan's classy performance complemented Alice's dark and rough vocals perfectly. See more »Alternate Names:
