'''Gaynor Sullivan''' (née '''Hopkins'''; born 8 June 1951), known professionally as '''Bonnie Tyler''', is a Welsh singer. Known for her distinctive husky voice, Tyler came to prominence with the release of her 1977 album ''[[The World Starts Tonight]]'' and its singles "[[Lost in France]]" and "[[More Than a Lover]]". Her 1977 single "[[It's a Heartache]]" reached number four on the [[UK Singles Chart]], and number three on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].

In the 1980s, Tyler ventured into rock music with songwriter and producer [[Jim Steinman]]. He wrote Tyler's biggest hit "[[Total Eclipse of the Heart]]", the lead single from her 1983 UK chart-topping album ''[[Faster Than the Speed of Night]]''. Steinman also wrote Tyler's other major 1980s hit "[[Holding Out for a Hero]]". She had success in mainland Europe during the 1990s with [[Dieter Bohlen]], who wrote and produced her hit "[[Bitterblue (song)|Bitterblue]]". In 2003, Tyler re-recorded "Total Eclipse of the Heart" with singer [[Kareen Antonn]]. Their bilingual duet, titled "[[Si demain... (Turn Around)]]", topped the French charts.

''[[Rocks and Honey]]'' was released in 2013 and features the single "[[Believe in Me (Bonnie Tyler song)|Believe in Me]]", which she performed [[United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013|representing the United Kingdom]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2013]] in [[Malmö]], Sweden. After reuniting with the producer [[David Mackay (producer)|David Mackay]], she released ''[[Between the Earth and the Stars (Bonnie Tyler album)|Between the Earth and the Stars]]'' (2019) and ''[[The Best Is Yet to Come (Bonnie Tyler album)|The Best Is Yet to Come]]'' (2021).

Her work has earned her three [[Grammy Award]] nominations and three [[Brit Awards|Brit Award]] nominations (including twice for [[Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist|British Female Solo Artist]]), among [[List of awards and nominations received by Bonnie Tyler|other accolades]]. In 2022, she was awarded an [[Order of the British Empire|MBE]] in the [[2022 Birthday Honours|Queen's Birthday Honours]] for services to music.

==Career==
=== 1975–1978: ''The World Starts Tonight'' and ''Natural Force'' ===
In 1975, Davis was spotted singing with her band in the Townsman Club, [[Swansea]], by talent scout Roger Bell, who invited her to London to record a [[Demo (music)|demo track]].<ref name="BBCMcLaren">{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/wales/entries/e9524c21-c8c4-3eab-9ffd-7b53c94f29b4 |title=Talent show top five |last=McLaren |first=James |date=5 June 2012 |publisher=[[BBC]]|access-date=27 June 2015}}</ref> After many months had passed, she received a phone call from [[RCA Records]], offering her a [[recording contract]].<ref name="HendricksTWST">{{Cite AV media notes |title=The World Starts Tonight |year=2009 |first=Phil |last=Hendricks |page=2 |type=CD booklet |publisher=Cherry Red Records |location=London}}</ref> They also recommended that she change her name again.

[[Ronnie Scott (songwriter)|Ronnie Scott]] and Steve Wolfe became her managers, songwriters and producers. "My! My! Honeycomb" was released as her debut single in April 1976, and failed to impact any charts worldwide. In September 1976, as part of a promotional campaign for Tyler's subsequent single release, "[[Lost in France]]", RCA Records allocated £4,000 for a strategic promotional initiative, which involved sending a group of 30 music journalists and radio DJs to [[Le Touquet]], France, where they met Tyler over a four-course meal.<ref>{{cite news|title=How DJs Found a Lost Disc|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/867035377|work=[[Scunthorpe Telegraph|Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph]]|location=[[Scunthorpe|Scunthorpe, England]]|page=7|date=13 November 1976|access-date=19 October 2023|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|url-access=subscription}}</ref> "Lost in France" peaked at no. 9 in the UK and led to Tyler's first appearance on ''[[Top of the Pops]]''.<ref name="uk-singles-charts">{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/15937/bonnie-tyler|title=Bonnie Tyler – Full Official Charts History|publisher=[[Official Charts Company]]|access-date=3 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Tipped for the top spot|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/801036378|work=[[Neath Guardian]]|location=[[Neath|Neath, Wales]]|page=1|date=25 November 1976|access-date=19 October 2023|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|url-access=subscription}}</ref> "[[More Than a Lover]]" followed in January 1977. Due to perceived sexual nature of the song's lyrics, it was banned from a new British children's TV series, ''[[Get It Together (British TV series)|Get It Together]]''. Though surprised by the decision, Tyler stated she was grateful for the "extra publicity".<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Prophet|first=Sheila|date=9 April 1977|page=6|title=Bonnie's Big One Is Blown!|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/70s/77/Record-Mirror-1977-04-09.pdf|access-date=19 October 2023|magazine=[[Record Mirror (magazine)|Record Mirror]]|via=World Radio History}}</ref> It peaked at no. 27 in the UK.<ref name="uk-singles-charts"/>

Tyler's debut album, ''[[The World Starts Tonight]]'', was released in February 1977. To promote the album, Tyler embarked on her first UK tour as a guest artist with [[Gene Pitney]].<ref>{{cite news|title=How DJs Found a Lost Disc|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/786405004|work=Coleshill Chronicle|location=[[Coleshill, Warwickshire|Coleshill, England]]|page=24|date=25 February 1977|access-date=19 October 2023|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|url-access=subscription}}</ref> The album failed to chart in the UK, but reached no. 2 in Sweden.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swedishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Bonnie+Tyler&titel=The+World+Starts+Tonight&cat=a |title=Bonnie Tyler – The World Starts Tonight |work=Swedishcharts.com |publisher=Hung Medien |access-date=3 July 2015}}</ref> In the spring of 1977, Tyler underwent an operation to remove [[vocal cord nodule]]s and was advised by her doctor to [[vocal rest|rest her voice]] for six weeks.

In July 1977, Tyler released her fourth single, "[[Heaven (1977 Bonnie Tyler song)|Heaven]]". It peaked at no. 24 in Germany. Tyler ascribed the underwhelming performance of the single in other regions to the passing of [[Elvis Presley]] in August 1977. This event resulted in RCA redirecting its focus towards reissuing Presley's extensive back catalogue.{{sfn|Tyler|2023|page=71}} "[[It's a Heartache]]" followed in November 1977 and became one of Tyler's most-successful singles, peaking at no. 4 in the UK and no. 3 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19780108/7501 |title=Official Singles Chart - 7 January 1978 - 13 January 1978|work=[[Official Charts Company]]|date=21 June 2020 |access-date=9 November 2023|archive-date=24 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124035312/https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19780108/7501|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1978-06-24|title=Billboard Hot 100 – June 24, 1978|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=9 November 2023|archive-date=31 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221031141616/https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1978-06-24|url-status=live}}</ref> "[[Here Am I (Bonnie Tyler song)|Here Am I]]" was released in April 1978, and it peaked at no. 4 in Norway.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://norwegiancharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Bonnie+Tyler&titel=Here+Am+I&cat=s|title=Bonnie Tyler – Here Am I|publisher=[[VG-lista]]|access-date=9 November 2023|archive-date=5 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220205040820/https://norwegiancharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Bonnie+Tyler&titel=Here+Am+I&cat=s|url-status=live}}</ref> David Mackay parted ways with Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe in 1978, and [[Gordon Mills]] briefly took over as Tyler's manager.

After their initial meeting, Tyler returned to Steinman's apartment in New York a few weeks later where she performed "[[Total Eclipse of the Heart]]" with [[Rory Dodd]].
