Bonnie Tyler in Internet
Tyler released four albums for RCA from 1977 to 1981.
During that time she became dissatisfied with her management, who were trying to lean her closer to the country music market.
When her contract with RCA expired, she signed with David Aspden Management and sought help from songwriter Jim Steinman to give her music a rock style.
She signed with CBS Records in 1982.
Her next album, Faster Than the Speed of Night, was released in Spring 1983 and included the ballad Total Eclipse of the Heart, written by Jim Steinman.
The song was a worldwide hit, reaching no.
1 in the UK, France, Australia and in the United States (where it remained for four weeks).
Faster Than the Speed of Night entered the UK album chart at No.1, making Tyler a Guinness Record holder as the first ever British female solo artist to have an album enter the UK chart at no.
1.
The album also became a Top Five bestseller in the US and Australia.
Total Eclipse of the Heart also brought Tyler a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
In 1984, she performed the track at the Grammy Awards, and received another Grammy nomination as Best Rock Female Vocalist for Here She Comes, a song that was part of the soundtrack for the 1984 restoration of the film Metropolis.
She also released the singles A Rockin' Good Way (a duet with fellow Welshman Shakin' Stevens) which made #5 in the UK, and Holding Out for a Hero from the film soundtrack Footloose which made the Top 40 in the U.S., and peaked at #2 in UK in the summer of 1985.
The track was also used as the main theme for the 1984 US television series Cover Up, though the version heard on the TV series was not sung by Tyler but by a Tyler sound-alike.
Holding Out for a Hero also appeared in the pilot of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as well as in the Shrek 2 soundtrack sung by Jennifer Saunders in her role as Fairy Godmother.
The following albums Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire (1986) and Hide Your Heart (1988) failed to continue the global success of Faster Than The Speed Of Night, but achieved success in France, Switzerland, Scandinavia, South Africa and Australia.
One of the single releases, If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man) became another Top 10 hit in France in 1986 and was certified Silver.
In 1987, recorded with the Brazilian singer Fábio Junior the song Sem limites pra sonhar/Reaching for the Infinite Heart.
In this same year, she sang the title song for Mike Oldfield's album Islands.
Tyler sang with Cher for the song Perfection on Cher's eponymous 1987 album, and Emotional Fire on Cher's 1989 Heart Of Stone album. (*) |
