Skewen, Neath, Wales (1975 – present)
Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Neath, Wales) is a Welsh singer. Born into a large working-class family of six children, her father worked as a miner while her mother, an opera fan, shared her love of music with her children. Influenced by the music of Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, as a teen she sang with a group called “Bobby Wayne and the Dixies,” following which she formed her own band, calling it Imagination. Adopting different stage names until settling on Bonnie Tyler, for nearly a decade she and her band performed at pubs and nightclubs all over South Wales.
In 1975 Bonnie Tyler recorded her first single for RCA Records called “My My Honeycomb” that failed to make the charts. Her second single “Lost in France”, was a whimsical melody with lyrics that demonstrated how seemingly meaningless words on paper can be rich with meaning in song. The record showcased the potential of her powerful voice and reached the top 10 of the British pop music charts. When it was released later in Europe, it became an even bigger hit. Over the ensuing decades, the song has become one of the favorites of her fans.
Her success with “Lost in France” led Tyler to record her first album in 1977. Titled The World Starts Tonight, it met with only modest success, but it did well enough that she could tour throughout Europe. Prior to the album’s release, Tyler underwent surgery to remove nodules on her vocal cords. Against doctor’s orders, she spoke before she had healed, with the result that her singing voice took on a raspy quality.

Zdecydowanie polecam Bonie Tyler. Widziałem ostatnio koncert. Świetna zabawa. Robi wrażenie. Swoją drogą ciekaw jestem kto organizuje koncerty tego artysty w naszym kraju? Czy ktoś się orientuje?

"once upon a time i was falling in love, now i'm only falling apart, there's nothing i can do, a total eclipse of the heart. once upon a time there was light in my life, now there's only love in the dark, nothing i can say, a total eclipse of the heart." is the greatest verse in the history of pop music. how amazing are those lyrics? nothing tops it for me.

Where's the difference between this regular and the classical version ? It's the same doesn't it ? Anyway, awesome track ! ♥ * Mir gefällt die Version aus "Asterix in Amerika" wesentlich besser. Trotzdem besitzen beide Versionen absoluten Kultcharakter. :-)
