Customer Reviews
This compilation focuses on Bonnie's eighties music recorded for CBS, but her four UK hits for RCA (Lost in France, More than a love, It's a heartache, Married men) are also included under license. So this collection contains all of Bonnie's UK hits, plus a selection of her other tracks from the eighties.
Apart from the RCA hits already mentioned (two of which made the UK top ten), Bonnie's other UK hits to be found here are Total eclipse of the heart (a number one hit), A rocking good way (a top five hit duet with Shaking Stevens), Holding out for a hero (a number two hit) and three minor hits, these being Have you ever seen the rain (a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic), Faster than the speed of night and Loving you is a dirty job.
Also here is Bonnie's original recording of The best. Generally known as Simply the best, it completely missed the charts, but Tina Turner covered the song a year later and had a major international hit with it. Another song that you may be familiar with is To love somebody. Originally written and recorded by the Bee Gees, the song has been a hit for several different singers around the world. Nina Simone (in 1969) and Jimmy Somerville (in 1990) both took it into the UK top ten.
There are many Bonnie Tyler compilations to choose from. I wouldn't describe this as the strongest but it contains all the essential tracks that most people expect and it is reasonably priced.
1. Total eclipse of the heart. Greatest song shes ever done, very emotional and very powerful! A great Power ballad
2. Faster than the speed of night. Fast and rocky! very good and fun!
3. Have you ever seen the rain. A Great cover makes it into an arena Rock anthem!
4. If you were a woman (and I was a man). Great pop song! Very good chours to sing along to!
5. Here she comes. A good song not one of her best but a good pop song!
6. Loving you's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Amazing! Great deut! Very emotional and powerful!
7. Getting so excited. I have to be honest i dont like this one its quite boring!
8. Save up all your tears. Not bad, chers cover version was better!
9. Best. Again not bad, but Tina Turners cover version was better!
10. Holding out for a hero. Great song! Its pop, Dance and a bit of rock chucked in to!
11. Married men. This is one of her country songs i dont like it!
12. Rockin' good way (to mess around and fall in love). Her worst song. Its camp and just bad!
13. More than a lover. Another country one, this song grows on you over time! its very good
14. Don't turn around. A good song! One of her rock ones. I do like this!
15. Lovers again. Very good a really sad and romantic love song!
16.Lost in France. A great pop song! it gets stuck in your head and its a good tune!
17. It's a heartache. Another country one! its here best and very catchy!
18. To love somebody. A good cover song! Very catchy!
Overall 4 stars. The bad points are:
Total eclipse of the heart is made shorter!
Its missing very good songs : Tears, Take Me Back, Straight From the heart, Ravising and Rebel without a clue!
So 4 stars and a great buy!
If you like good rock music sung by a powerful female artist or a diehard Bonnie fan or simply as casual admirer, this CD is well worthing having even though there a better compilations out there such as "Total Eclipse -The Anthology".
