I was an 80's child and it was a fabulous time for music. Genesis, Lionel Richie, Wham, Culture Club, Madonna, Michael Jackson - the list could go on. The fold of the 80's changed however when we got into '89 or so, when bubblegum pop took over. Along came Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.
Tiffany was rough around the edges, from a broken home, and different look-wise with that flaming red hair. Debbie was the princess brought up in Long Island from a seemingly perfect world. I liked both and had cassettes from both. But when it came to who, I as a teenage girl related to the most, Tiffany won out. In fact, my first ever concert was a Tiffany concert at the Northlands Colesium in Edmonton. I also met her totally by chance earlier in the day at the West Edmonton Mall at a Dalmy's store.
That was over 20 years ago. I've grown up, she's grown up. But she's still kicking around the music scene and in fact is getting ready to release a country album and calls Nashville home. The last few years she had released a couple of albums which, although not huge sellers, received great critical acclaim. So I'm truthfully excited to hear this new album. What can I say, still a fan after all these years.
But if there was any doubt about Tiffany's singing ability, watch the video enclosed. She could probably outsing anyone in the industry today. This song even though it came out in the 90's, still gets me right there. Enjoy my trip down memory lane.
