Life and Career
Gaynor Hopkins, singer known as Bonnie Tyler, was born in Wales and became one of the most commercially successful singers of the 1980s. Recognized for her hoarse timbre and dramatic performances, she became known for moving between country and rock.
The main highlight of the star's career is "Total Eclipse of the Heart", a song that became Tyler's biggest hit. With almost seven minutes in its original version, the song is a "power ballad". Despite deviating from the radio standards of the time, the hit reached first place on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It also reached the top of the charts in several countries.
