Bonnie Tyler passed away on July 8 at the age of 75. See Google images below.
Her real name was Gaynor Hopkins. She was born in Wales and had 5 siblings. Her father was a coal miner. At a very early age she wrote songs and signed with various record labels. Her nickname was “Britian’s First Lady of Rock.” She had a raspy voice which I loved.
Her mega hits included “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” Holding out for a Hero,” It’s a Heartache,” “Straight from the Heart,” and “Making Love-Out of Nothing at All.”
In total, she released 17 studio albums and sold over 5 million copies. I have many of her songs on my playlist. She is gone but never forgotten!
“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.”
