Patty Smyth (born June 26, 1957, New York City, New York, USA) first enjoyed mainstream success in 1982 as vocalist and leader of the band Scandal. That band's self-titled debut release became Columbia Records' biggest selling EP ever, and was followed by a further hit in 1984, "The Warrior".

As well as recording success, Smyth has enjoyed significant notoriety for her personal relationships, with punk originator Richard Hell and her current husband, tennis star John McEnroe. Her marriage to Richard Hell resulted in a daughter, Ruby.
