Bonnie Tyler (then known as Gaynor Hopkins) spent seven years performing in local pubs and clubs around South Wales between 1969 and 1976, first as part of Bobbie Wayne & the Dixies, and then with her own band Imagination. In 1975, she was discovered singing with Imagination by talent scout Roger Bell. She was invited to London to record two demos, "My! My! Honeycomb" and "Lost in France". After months passed, RCA Records contacted Tyler, announcing that they would be releasing "My! My! Honeycomb" as a single in April 1976.
Bonnie Tyler's debut album is filled with promise and indications of great things to come. Produced (and largely written) by Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who worked as her managers while she was signed to RCA, "The World Starts Tonight" walks the fine line between Country and Pop that was popular in the mid-'70s.
As an introduction to Tyler's voice, this was an impressive debut. But it merely paved the way for Tyler's teaming with Jim Steinman, when she would realize her true potential and start the second phase of her multi-faceted career. A formidable debut, highlighted by covers of "Love of a Rolling Stone" and "Piece of My Heart".
Two singles were released from the album. The first, "Lost in France", was certified Silver by the BPI for sales of over 250,000 copies. "More Than a Lover" was also a hit, but failed to make progress in the UK Singles Chart after the BBC banned the song for its controversial lyrical content. The ban resulted in the song only reaching number 27 in the UK.
Shortly after recording the album, Tyler had surgery to remove nodules from her vocal cords. The operation left Tyler with a permanently raspy voice.
On the week ending 10 March 1978, over a year since its release, "The World Starts Tonight" debuted at number thirteen on the Swedish Albums Chart. It reached its peak position at number two in the following week, remaining there for a total of three weeks. In the fifth running week on the chart, "The World Starts Tonight" fell to number six, replaced by Tyler's second studio album "Natural Force".

Tyler had changed musical direction from Country music in 1981, and soon after began working with Jim Steinman, who produced the album and wrote its most successful single "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
The album consists of dramatically re-worked cover songs, including the Creedence Clearwater Revival hit "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?". "Goin' Through the Motions" is a cover of the song by Blue Öyster Cult from their 1977 album "Spectres", while "Straight from the Heart" was the break-out Top 10 hit for Canadian Rock singer/songwriter Bryan Adams from his Platinum album "Cuts Like A Knife". The album also includes the song "Take Me Back", written by Billy Cross, a former Bob Dylan guitarist. Only two of the tracks were written by Steinman himself: the title track and the international No. 1 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
"Faster Than The Speed Of Night" reached No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart, and was certified Silver in the UK, Platinum in the US, and Double Platinum in Canada.

The best of Bonnie Tyler's work with Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe. The production/writing team move more towards the Pop side and away from the Country flourishes, which marked Tyler's first two albums.
From the terrific opener "If You Ever Need Me Again" through to the closing "I'm a Fool", this is a solid collection of Pop songs, including soulful ballads ("Words Can Change Your Life"), saucy anthems ("My Guns Are Loaded") and moving singalongs ("Too Good to Last"). As with her two previous releases, there are also wonderfully interpreted covers ("Louisiana Rain" being the highlight).
A good mix of Rock, Folk, Country and Soul, "Diamond Cut" is definitely the high point of Tyler's pre-Jim Steinman career, and a dynamite showcase for Tyler's inimitable voice!
