Hey, that was the cover of a German hit!
Jennifer Rush (real name Heidi Stern) was born NYC (Queens), but had German roots. Her dad was an opera singer, her mom a classical pianist, the family lived in Germany for a few years (where her father found a job as an opera singer, he didn't want to raise kids in NYC). She returned to the US, but would come back to Germany (her brother had stayed there and had found a career as a musician/producer too) and that is where her career took off. And this was her signature song (you can tell by her characteristic vibrrrato what daddy's occupation was):
That song - not a bad number and co-written by her - was played to death in the 80ies of course and not only Air Supply picked up on it:
I think I like Laura's version best. But you'd have to be deaf to claim that Jennifer, Celine and Russell didn't do the song justice as well.
So now we've come from the arcane U.K. to the more
mundane popular The Power Of Love in the course of a few postings - only here at the legendary LBO, where we stay on track like a spinning top!
