One\u2019s life doesn\u2019t start until they hear \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart,\u201d the runaway hit power ballad from Welsh rock icon Bonnie Tyler, who died Wednesday at the age of 75 following complications with treatment for a perforated intestine.<\/p>\n

Countless karaoke nights and rainy drives have been scored to Tyler\u2019s inimitable song, so much so that the opening piano notes of \u201cTotal Eclipse of the Heart\u201d might precede Tyler\u2019s substantial legacy. But her remarkable 50-year career was marked by other notable classics like \u201cHolding Out for a Hero\u201d and the sensational \u201cIf You Were A Woman (And I Was a Man)\u201d \u2014 later reworked into Bon Jovi\u2019s catchy but inferior \u201cYou Give Love a Bad Name.\u201d<\/p>\n

But dig deeper, and one will find that Tyler\u2019s discography is brimming with hits that put her unmistakable rasp to thrilling use. \u201cRavishing,\u201d the opening track of Tyler\u2019s 1986 album \u201cSecret Dreams and Forbidden Fire,\u201d holds a crucial spot on my summer playlist after a recent retrospective. Few singers can turn a song into an epic, cinematic powerhouse the way Tyler could. \u201cRavishing\u201d is all heady sensuality and winking humor, fused into pure electricity. \u201cIt\u2019s just my luck; I don\u2019t have anything to wear,\u201d Tyler coos in the chorus.<\/p>\n

No one captured the intoxicating possibilities of the 1980s better than Tyler. For her, every song was a movie and every lyric was a story. And just like she promises in my summer staple, Bonnie Tyler\u2019s huge choruses and blockbuster anthems will be ravishing us until the end of this endless night.<\/p>\n
