Bonnie Tyler

We probably all still remember this Welsh singer. A few incredible famous hits like "It's a Heartache" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Her somewhat rough and husky voice made her known by the public and was always recognizable. I followed her career during a while and stumbled once on a clip she made of "A Whiter Shade of Pale", made famous by the popgroup Procol Harum in the sixties of the last century. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXmgE21nj_k ) Her voice here really reaches to the peak of possibilities for me and it is really one of her greatest singing moments but having said that it is also one of the best covers ever of that song. Many tried it before and after her (more then 900 covers worldwide) and many will continue to do so.
