| There was a live performance of "Total Eclipse" uploaded at Youtube once, it's sadly been removed, but the interesting part is that Rory was on stage with Bonnie and clearly singing live. I think of was from some awards-show in 1984, I hope somebody can verify this performance. We know what Rory looks like, so there's no denying it was him. If he was, after all, lipsynching, why would he lipsynch to something he didn't sing? > > > I have spent the better part of the past two hours seeking > information, all that I could, about the highly acclaimed > (even when correct) Rory Dodd, and I have traveled the web > but only starting on this journey.
