Two late ‘90s albums from the legendary Welsh singer and Meat Loaf sparring partner who recently celebrated her 70th birthday. Plus a CD of their international-selling single cuts in various formats including the mighty ‘Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad’, her cover of The Alan Parsons’s Project’s ‘Limelight’ and the theme tune to German TV series The King of St. Pauli in which she appeared.
efore her well-known collaborations with Meat Loaf producer Jim Steinman, Welsh-born singer Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) performed off and on in her homeland with the R&B band Mumbles; nodules on her vocal cords prevented her from singing full-time until 1976, when she underwent an operation to have them removed. The surgery left her with a raspy, husky voice that proved an effective instrument and drew notice from writer/producers Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who became her managers…
2002's Total Eclipse: The Bonnie Tyler Anthology collects 37 tracks from the earthy Welsh singer who coined the phrase "turn around, bright eyes." The two-disc set covers all of Tyler's career and includes all of her radio hits, including "It's a Heartache," "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Faster Than the Speed of Night," and "Holding out for a Hero." Fans looking for a more concise compilation bereft of filler would be better off with either Castle's Very Best of Bonnie Tyler or Sony's Greatest Hits anthology (both of which are single-disc overviews), but listeners looking to dig deeper into Tyler's career will find much to love here.
Heaven & Hell is a compilation album by American singer Meat Loaf and Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was released in 1989 by Telstar Records. The majority of songs included on Heaven & Hell were written by Jim Steinman, who wrote some of Meat Loaf and Tyler's biggest hits. Meat Loaf's tracks come from Bat Out of Hell (1977), Dead Ringer (1981) and Midnight at the Lost and Found (1983). Tyler's tracks come from Faster Than the Speed of Night (1983) and Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire (1986)…
Three classic albums: The World Starts Tonight (1977), Natural Force (1978) and Goodbye to the Island (1981).
Recognized for her distinctly raspy voice and soulful pop repertoire, Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler had her first worldwide hit in 1978 with "It's a Heartache" from her second album, Natural Force. Characteristic of her work in the '70s, it blended elements of country, rock, and pop.
The Best is a compilation album by Bonnie Tyler released by Sony Music International. The album was released in 1993, and different versions were only released in France and the UK. The back cover art differs in each version while the front cover is identical. This compilation features another retrospective of Tyler's career. "It's a Heartache" and "Lost in France" are here, among other hits like "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "Faster Than the Speed of Night", "A Natural Woman", and the feature track "The Best". Some tracks also differ; the French version includes an extended version of "Band of Gold", while the UK edition features the Shakin' Stevens duet "A Rockin' Good Way", among other unique tracks. The UK version is cited to have been re-released on February 2, 1999. Meanwhile, the French version is cited on AllMusic with an October 7, 1996 release date; the album cover clearly proves the AllMusic title incorrect.
