description: "Patricia Smyth, also known as Patty Smyth-McEnroe, is an American singer and songwriter. She gained national attention as the lead vocalist of rock band Scandal and went on to record and perform as a solo artist.

Her debut solo album Never Enough was well received, and generated a pair of Top 100 hits. In 1992, her hit single \"Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough,\" a duet with Don Henley of the Eagles, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. She performed and co-wrote \"Look What Love Has Done\" with James Ingram for the 1994 film Junior.
