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)…
Yet another greatest-hits compilation from Bonnie Tyler, the Welsh female version of Rod Stewart. She has released a few hits collections, including full-price titles on RCA and CBS and several budget titles on Castle, Crimson, and Camden, and despite her multitude of hit singles, none of performed particularly well on the album charts. This collection, titled From the Heart, just fell short of reaching the Top 30 in March 2007. It brought together the obvious hits from her CBS days and collaborations with producer Jim Steinman, mainly centering on the Faster Than the Speed of Night album with its title track and the giant number one single "Total Eclipse of the Heart," her hit duets with Shakin Stevens ("Rockin Good Way"), and Todd Rundgren ("Loving You's a Dirty Job But Somebody's Gotta Do It"); her other solo hits, from "Holding out for a Hero" from the Footloose soundtrack to the cover of the Air Supply hit "Making Love out of Nothing at All."

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…
