Karla DeVito (born May 29, 1953. Raised in Mokena, Illinois) is an American singer, actress and voice artist. She started out as a backup singer for Meat Loaf, supporting the Bat out of Hell tour (and also performed lip sync to Ellen Foley's vocals in the supporting music videos), and later contributed as a backup singer for such groups as the Blue Öyster Cult and The Sorrows. Later she became a lead solo performer/singer in her own right, and opened for such prominent artists as Hall & Oates and Rick Springfield as well as headlining solo concerts at New York's The Bottom Line. She married Robby Benson in 1982 and had two children, Lyric and Zephyr Benson. After becoming a mother, Karla chose to concentrate on her family rather than her career.
