Fábio Jr. and Bonnie Tyler (1951 – 2026) topped the Brazilian charts between December 1986 and March 1987 with their bilingual duet in the song 'No Limits to Dream' Disclosure / record label CBS ? MEMORY ? The already confirmed death of British singer Bonnie Tyler (June 8, 1951 – July 8, 2026), aged 75, brings to mind a duet made by the artist 40 years ago with the singer from São Paulo Fábio Jr. Recorded in 1986 and sent to the radio in December of that year, as the first promotional single for the album that Fábio Jr. would release in February 1987, “No Limits to Dream”, the feat was created by directors of the multinational record company then called CBS, whose cast included both artists. Bonnie Tyler was in the spotlight due to the worldwide success of the song “Total eclipse of heart”, the flagship song from the album “Faster than the speed of night” (1983). In 1986, Fábio prepared his third album for CBS after two very commercially successful LPs in 1984 and 1985. The bilingual duet was then designed by executives from the recording company to keep Fábio Jr on the rise in the market. The song chosen for Fábio and Bonnie's feat, “No Limits to Dream”, opened and named the album. It was the Portuguese version, written by Claudio Rabello, of “Reaching for the infinite heart”, composed by Mariano Pérez, Carlos Gómez, and Rosa Girón. Bonnie sang the singer's part in English. Following the success of the bilingual feat on the radio at the end of 1986, the music video was released in January 1987 on the TV Globo program “Fantástico”. The broadcast of the clip further enhanced the success of the recording of “Semlimites para sonar / Reaching for the infinite heart”. In March 1987, the song topped the radio charts, which was then the main barometer for measuring the success of a recording.
