I will never forget first hearing Bonnie Tyler's gorgeously raspy voice on the song "It's A Heartache." The distinction of that voice made the listener feel her pain.
I also loved her rendition of "I Need A Hero," and let me tell you, girls, during my single period, this song truly resonated with me. I needed someone to hold on to, and yes, to reference another song, I looked in many wrong places, till I hit it right.
But it was "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" that defined Bonnie Tyler to all of us. I shall try and provide the song at the end of this post. The lyrics were almost metaphors for many of our lives.
So, on July 8, when Bonnie left us this year, after complications from a perforated intestine and surgery for such, I was shocked to discover she was 75. I really thought of her as youth; she always looked so great.
Bonnie's passing was doubly sad in light of the recent passing of Louise Lasser.
Rest In Peace, Bonne. "We really need you tonight. Foerver's going to
start tonight......."
Here it is, darlings. Bonnie at her best with "Total Eclipse Of The Heart."
